Philadelphia is asking residents to help update the city's Climate Resilience Plan. The City and the Office of Sustainability are working to protect Philadelphia from climate change threats like flooding and extreme heat. The plan will identify climate risks and vulnerabilities, propose solutions to strengthen resilience, and address the challenges faced by vulnerable communities, according to the City of Philadelphia.
The Office of Sustainability is launching a public engagement process focused on inclusivity and equity. The initiative will involve city stakeholders, including residents, community leaders, advocacy groups, and municipal departments. Local residents and leaders will help shape the development of the plan and address climate justice issue, as reported by the City of Philadelphia.
Philadelphians can engage with the city's environmental roadmap by signing up for updates, attending workshops, virtual events, and community activities, or taking a survey to identify climate-related issues and actions. The Office of Sustainability will also issue a Request for Proposal to help create the Climate Resilience Plan. This initiative is supported by the Philadelphia City Fund and the William Penn Foundation, as stated by the City of Philadelphia.
