Climate Action Plan Public Sessions in Aurora and Elgin

Kane County Connects Staff 1/29/2024 6:00AM

Kane County is hosting its final two public input sessions to gather feedback on a draft of its first Climate Action Implementation Plan (CAIP).

Kane County invites you to attend the final two meetings:

When: February 21, 5:30-7:00 p.m. Where: Aurora Public Library Santori Branch, Aurora.
When: February 24, 11:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. Where: Hawthorne Hill Nature Center, 28 Brookside Dr., Elgin.

CAIP is a document crafted by a volunteer team of more than 80 people, including community members, business representatives, and County and municipal staff. Results from 1,000 participants to a county-wide survey helped to shape the direction and content of the draft CAIP.

The CAIP establishes goals and detailed actions across eight categories: transportation, building, waste management, water, local food, greenspace, health and the economy. The plan aims to increase resilience to climate change, reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (with a target of 25% below 2019 levels by 2030), and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

Public input is invaluable as Kane County strives to finalize a comprehensive plan that guides climate actions for the County and its municipalities. Join us in shaping a sustainable future.
