Climate Action Plan Strategies
Kittery's Climate Action Plan Task Force has been working to develop a plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change.
The 29 Climate Action Strategies reflect the priorities identified by the community over the course of 36 focus group discussions and reflect actions and efforts that align with the State's Maine Won't Wait Climate Action Plan, and other expert sources in climate change and adaptation. The Strategies also include action items for the town to implement.
The community was encouraged to review the strategies and action items and to provide the Task Force with input via the Climate Action Strategy Survey. The survey is now closed, feedback has been collected and the final strategies have been presented to the Town Council.
Climate Action Strategy Adoption & Next Steps
At their December 11, 2023 meeting, the Kittery Town Council adopted the 29 Climate Action Plan Strategies, developed by the Kittery Climate Action Task Force.
