on their current initiatives regarding sustainability, climate action, and their intersections
with diversity, equity, and inclusion.
BACKGROUND
In 2020, Council adopted the Climate Action Plan for Community Recovery, which
established an explicit connection between climate action and diversity, equity, and
inclusion. The City has continued to work at this intersection with adopted budget policy,
climate adaptation and resilience work, and community convenings. Staff from the Office
of Sustainability and Natural Resources will provide the HRC with an informational
presentation about how climate action and diversity, equity, and inclusion intersect in our
community and in the City’s work.
NEXT STEPS
Commissioners are invited to attend the December 13, 2022 City Council Special Meeting
