Action Areas

Most climate action planning processes are broken into categories or action areas. These action areas correspond to either emission sources or to reduction strategies, and allow planners to organize and implement efforts accordingly. The City of Burlington gathered community volunteers, City staff, and climate and energy experts into eight working groups in the following action areas:

• Energy Efficiency in Buildings
• Renewable Energy Resources
• City Government Transportation
• Community Transportation
• Waste Reduction and Recycling
• Local Farms, Gardens, and Food Production
• Urban Forestry and Carbon Offsets
• Policy and Education
