Charles County Government Annual Report • 2024
CLIMATE ACTION PLANNING UNDERWAY IN CHARLES COUNTY
Charles Count y Government is under taking a Climate
Action Planning (CAP) process in two parts to guide us
towards a cleaner and more resilient future.The plan is
part of the count y's ongoing climate action initiatives.
Between record heat waves, increasingly severe storms,
flooding, drought, warming water temperatures, and the
loss of the pollinator species that help cultivate our crops,
it is becoming increasingly impor tant that the count y
addresses the changing climate. The Climate Action
Plan will identif y necessar y government and community actions needed to ensure resilience to the effects of
climate change, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and
sustain the health and vitality of Charles County.
The county hosted public meetings and a series of interactive webinars to gather community input to develop a
resilient, actionable, and equitable Climate Action Plan.
The communit y was able to learn more about climate
change basics and the fundamentals of climate action
plans. The meetings featured live and interactive polling
and a question-and-answer session to gather feedback,
establish new relationships, and build upon existing stakeholder and community partnerships.
