The City of Philadelphia is addressing climate challenges by involving the community in its planning process. The Office of Sustainability is encouraging residents to share their concerns and help develop the new Climate Resilience Plan, according to the City of Philadelphia.
The Citywide Climate Resilience survey is available in eight languages. It is part of Philadelphia’s plan to create a sustainable and equitable environmental strategy. The announcement states, "Your input will directly inform and guide future City policies and research related to building a stronger, more resilient Philadelphia." The survey focuses on planning for heat waves, flooding, and extreme weather events, as reported by the City of Philadelphia.
The Office of Sustainability is conducting a survey to gather input from Philadelphia residents about local climate and environmental justice issues. The survey takes 10–20 minutes to complete and aims to collect community priorities and concerns. The City of Philadelphia plans to use this information to develop action plans focused on addressing climate challenges, especially for communities most affected by environmental impacts. Residents are encouraged to participate and stay involved in the process.
