The City of Houston’s office of Sustainability, has begun drafting a Climate Action Plan.

The target completion date for the Plan is December 2019, with implementation by the City to start in 2020. HARC, the Houston Advanced Research Center, is providing technical assistance.
The City has scheduled a set of four Community Meetings to give members of the public information about the Plan, as well as receive input.
