Climate Resilient RVA
The region's first climate action plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
We're completing our focus groups and compiling your input. Reccomended measures are coming soon.
Our region will grow and become increasingly diverse over the next 30 years, and our challenge is to maintain and enhance the region’s quality of life as we prepare for that growth. Everyone has a stake in our region. If you live or work in RVA, your perspective can help us formulate what it will take to maintain a high quality of life in the years to come.
We'll help put your ideas into action.
