Community Climate Action Plan

Overview

In 2009, the Carrboro Board of Aldermen passed a resolution committing the Town to take steps to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. In doing so, and through work both before and after the resolution, the Town has joined a group of more than 1000 cities, towns and metropolises around the world who are taking part in the Cities for Climate Protection Campaign.

In the fall of 2014, Carrboro held a series of 3 forums related to climate action planning at the ArtsCenter. Shortly thereafter, a Task Force was created and worked to draft a Community Climate Action Plan. Drafts of the plan were presented to the Board of Aldermen and Carrboro advisory boards and a public hearing on the plan was held in 2016. The Board of Aldermen accepted the plan in January 2017. The Town Council accepted an updated version of the plan in October 2020.

In 2021, the Council adopted the Carrboro Connects Comprehensive Plan, which builds on the Community Climate Action Plan and prioritizes initiatives to meet the Town's Climate Action goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2030 from a 2010 baseline.
