Thank you for your interest in the Thurston Climate Mitigation Plan and for signing up for climate mitigation plan updates. We are excited to inform you about progress on Thurston County, Lacey, Olympia, and Tumwater’s strategy to reduce local contributions to climate change.

On Monday, August 23, 2021 from 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm Thurston Regional Planning Council will host the sixth Climate Action Steering Committee meeting. Click here to access the meeting webinar registration link, agenda, and materials. 

The committee will continue discussing long-term governance options, including options for public outreach and engagement.

There will be an opportunity for public comment at the start of the meeting – if you wish to provide oral comment during the meeting, please check the box to indicate this when registering. Written comments may be emailed to climate@trpc.org, and must be received by noon on August 20, 2021 to be provided to the Committee prior to the meeting. 

Here are some other events and opportunities for area residents to engage in regional climate action.

• Take the Transportation Priorities Survey! Transportation is the second largest source of emissions in Thurston County, and the Thurston Climate Mitigation Plan has many strategies and actions focused on this sector. Results of the Transportation Priorities Survey will help guide future transportation decisions and funding priorities in the region.

We are excited to keep you informed about this latest phase of climate action planning, and will continue to use this newsletter to provide occasional updates on the region’s work. As always, we welcome your feedback! If you have questions or comments, please reach out to climate@trpc.org.
