As climate change continues to shape the agenda of local governance, Clark County is taking action with its Community Advisory Group (CAG) set to convene on May 22. The 20-member group, appointed by the county manager, is at the forefront of advising on policy recommendations pivotal for implementing new state climate change planning legislation.
The legislation recognizes the differential impacts of climate change policy decisions on various demographics. In response, the CAG aims to ensure a fair and equitable approach to upcoming Planning Commission and County Council deliberations. "The group is helping the county develop policy recommendations to implement new state climate change planning legislation for Planning Commission and County Council consideration to adopt for the county," stated Clark County's official announcement.
A consistent schedule gives the CAG structure, with meetings held at 5:30 pm on the fourth Wednesday of each month. This regular assembly of concerned citizens enriches the debate, facilitating informed and community-backed decisions for the county's climate project.
Ensuring transparency and public participation, the advisory sessions remain open to the public. For those looking to observe or weigh in on the policy-making process, details of the CAG's endeavors can be found on the county website.
