In November 2018, the final draft of the Climate Action and Resilience Plan (CARP) was made public. The City would like to thank those that submitted comments during the Public Comment Period from September 4 - 28 and/or attended a CARP-related event.

Background

On Saturday, September 23, 2017, Mayor Stephen Hagerty kicked off the City's next Climate Action and Resilience Planning process at an event at the Evanston Ecology Center. The Mayor appointed 16 members of the community to the Climate Action and Resilience Plan (CARP) Working Group with the task of creating the next climate action plan for the City. The group, made up of 16 voting members and a student representative from Evanston Township High School, worked to create a community-based plan by hosting several stakeholder events in which local organizations and community members voiced their concerns and ideas to aid in this process. On November 13, 2018, the working group was dissolved.

Who was the Working Group?
