CLIMATE PRIORITIES

As part of our plan, we will be developing strategies and actions to tackle greenhouse gas emissions within 5 focus areas:

TRANSPORTATION: Increasing options for more people to walk, bike, take public transportation, or use electric vehicles will help reduce transportation-related GHG emissions so our region has cleaner air to breathe.

BUILDINGS: More efficient heating & cooling will have multiple benefits including more comfortable homes & workplaces, improved community health, greater resilience in the face of extreme weather & other emergencies, & reduced energy costs for residents & building owners.

ENERGY: To decrease harmful emissions, we need to transition to meet the energy needs of our homes, businesses, & vehicles with renewable sources of energy. Renewable energy includes energy from sunlight, biogas, & geothermal heat.

WASTE: Reducing the amount of waste created by our communities, composting, and recycling can help reduce GHG emissions and the need to extract additional natural resources.

NATURAL LANDS: Restoring, protecting, and expanding natural systems provides a natural defense against climate change and can lessen the impact of flooding and urban heat as well as absorb emissions.

We want to hear from you about your Climate Priorities to help us shape goals, strategies, and actions for the Metro Atlanta Climate Action Plan. For each category below, let us know how important you feel each topic is to you. Feel free to vote on as many or as few of the topics as you would like.

- Deploying more electric vehicle charging stations to serve areas that do not already have them

- Providing rebates for the purchase of e-bikes to give community members better access to low-cost, low-carbon transportation
