Climate Action Plan
The City and Borough of Sitka is dedicated to taking positive, measurable action to reduce human contributions on climate change and ocean acidification and to reap the benefits of energy and fuel conservation. To that end, the Sitka Assembly accepted this Climate Action Plan for the City and Borough of Sitka on June 22, 2010. This plan outlines the energy and fuel saving projects and adjustments in operations that are being recommended to be taken by the City to reduce the municipality’s greenhouse gas (carbon dioxide) emissions by 25% (from 2003 levels) by 2020. This plan also contains projections of climate change and ocean acidification possible effects on Sitka and adaptation and mitigation measures the City could enact. The emissions-reducing proposed initiatives range from building and heating retrofits to changes in driving, operations, and waste management. Some actions are already being implemented.
