LA PLATA, Md. – Charles County is proud to announce the development of its first Climate Action Plan. The plan is part of the County’s ongoing climate action initiatives. Between record heat waves, increasingly severe storms, flooding, drought, warming water temperatures, and the loss of pollinator species that help cultivate our crops, it is becoming increasingly important that the County addresses the changing climate.
The Climate Action Plan will identify necessary government and community actions needed to ensure resilience to the effects of climate change, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and sustain the health and vitality of Charles County.
Charles County Government will host public meetings and a series of interactive webinars to gather community input to develop a resilient, actionable, and equitable Climate Action Plan. The first of these meetings will be an interactive webinar series that will guide attendees through the Climate Action planning process. The first interactive webinar in the series is scheduled for Nov. 13, 2024, from 6:30-7:30 p.m. The community will be able to learn more about climate change and the fundamentals of climate action plans. The meeting will feature live and interactive polling and a question-and-answer session to gather feedback, establish new relationships, and build upon existing stakeholder and community partnerships.
