Climate action is a community effort, and your voice plays a vital role in shaping Arlington’s Climate Action Plan. Throughout the planning process, we’ll offer a variety of ways for residents, businesses, and organizations to participate by sharing ideas, attending events, responding to feedback forms, or collaborating on solutions. Your insights and lived experiences help ensure that our strategies are effective, equitable, and reflective of the community we serve.
