Corvallis Climate Action
The Corvallis Climate Action Plan was adopted by City Council in December 2016 following a two-year research and development period by the Climate Action Task Force. The plan includes a comprehensive list of goals, greenhouse gas reduction targets, and high-priority mitigation and adaptation strategies and actions for both the City of Corvallis as well as the greater community. This group was subsequently renamed as the Climate Action Policy Advisory Board.
In October 2017, City Council created a Climate Action Advisory Board to guide the implementation of the plan. The current CAAB work plan is available here.
For information on upcoming meetings, notes and recordings from previous meetings, and information on how to provide comment to CAAB, please visit this page.
