“ The Council hereby commits to proportionally upholding the commitment made by the United States in the Paris Agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions between 26 and 28 percent by 2025 from 2005 levels. ”
Why WE care
The human impact on the climate is evident in the increasingly unpredictable and destructive weather patterns that negatively affect our community and others. The goals of the Town include creating a vibrant and inclusive community, while being conscious of environmental stewardship. To reach these goals, our community must prepare by building greater resiliency and sustainability.
WHAT IS A SUSTAINABLE AND RESILIENT COMMUNITY?
It’s where we protect and grow today’s opportunities for tomorrow’s generation.
It’s about being “future friendly” by making decisions that consider future needs.
It means decision and actions that leave Chapel Hill better than we found it.
It’s about being prepared so we can bounce back from sudden change.
We believe a sustainable and resilient Chapel Hill is the work of everyone who lives, works, visits, and goes to school here.
Let’s work together.
