Why it matters

Climate change is one of the most pressing issues of our time. It's a complex and evolving challenge that affects every aspect of our lives. Across our city, we are already dealing with the effects of climate change:

  • More frequent, long-running, and intense heatwaves
  • Less rainfall overall, but more intense storms and flash flooding
  • More frequent and extreme fire danger days
  • Increased average temperature across all seasons

We are putting in place policies and advocating at state and national levels for more sustainable practices. We also supporting the community to take climate action through sustainability projects, initiatives, partnerships, and events.
