Check out the proposed draft of the Beaverton Climate Action Plan: 2035

The project to update Beaverton’s Climate Action Plan is coming to a close. We welcome all community members to explore the proposed draft of the plan on our project page linked below and share your feedback. The complete proposed draft of the updated plan – Beaverton Climate Action Plan: 2035 – is now also available here. 

Beaverton City Council will consider the proposed draft for adoption at their February 17th meeting. Once approved, it will be time to put this new plan into action! Stay tuned as we roll out an online dashboard for sharing, measuring, and tracking progress as well as additional resources to help the community learn about the city’s climate action work.   

Extensive community engagement has helped shape this plan. The city would like to sincerely thank everyone who contributed so far, and we look forward to working with the community to help achieve these goals. Local climate action wouldn’t be possible without the help of the passionate, caring, dedicated Beaverton community! 

Climate Action in Beaverton

The current Beaverton Climate Action Plan (BCAP) was adopted by city council in November of 2019. It is a framework for action to reduce emissions and to help our community prepare for the impacts of climate change. The plan called for an update after five years. This update will create a clear, measurable path forward that reflects current community priorities for the benefit of all those who work, live, and play in Beaverton.

The City of Beaverton recognizes the importance of responding to climate change, to create a city that is livable, connected, accessible, safe, and sustainable. We are undertaking this work because cities, in collaboration together, are in a prime position to make both immediate and lasting change to slow the pace and impact of climate change. The updated plan will align with the climate action efforts of the city’s many partners.
