Energy Supply Working Group Meeting – Community Climate Action Plan

The Climate Action Steering Committee (CASC) is working on a Community Climate Action Plan to implement the policy direction established by Council resolution in 2016. The Community Climate Action Plan goals are to establish a roadmap for the community to achieve fossil fuel use reductions of 40% by 2030 and 70% by 2050. Development of the Community Climate Action Plan calls for participation by the entire community. The goals are set, but how we get there is still being decided. We need community members and organizations to help us figure out how to do this for Bend.

The CASC is convening topic-specific working groups to support the development of the Bend Community Climate Action Plan. The topics include energy supply, energy in buildings, waste & materials management, and transportation. The working groups play a vital role of helping brainstorm and develop potential actions we can take as a community to meet our fossil fuel use reduction goals.

Each working group meets twice. The first meeting will focus on understanding the objectives and barriers for the sector, and the second meeting will focus on identifying climate actions.

The working group meetings for energy supply are scheduled for:

Meeting #1: Tuesday, October 23, 3-5 PM, City Council Chambers @ City Hall

Meeting #2: Tuesday, November 6, 3-5 PM,  City Council Chambers @ City Hall
