The Climate Action Plan Community Advisory Task Force will hold its next meeting on Thursday, Jan. 26, from 1-3 p.m. The focus of the meeting will be a review of the preliminary draft of the Climate Action Plan report. You are welcome to attend to observe and to comment during the public input portion of the agenda. Find the Zoom link and meeting materials.

The next step for the Climate Action Plan project after this meeting will be to share the draft report with our community and ask for feedback. We'll compile the responses and prepare a final report to present to the Board of County Commissioners.

Thirty years of urban tree planting by the Portland-based nonprofit Friends of Trees was linked to significant reductions in cardiovascular-related deaths and non-accidental mortality overall, a recent study led by the U.S. Forest Service showed.

We welcome people, organizations and businesses from throughout Clackamas County to help achieve our countywide goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050. This newsletter is one way to share information and opportunities for community members to be engaged. If you know of folks - students, neighbors, colleagues, supervisors, electeds - who are interested in climate change and climate action, please share this newsletter and encourage them to sign up.

We also want to know what kind of information you would like in this newsletter and on the project webpage. Send suggestions to climate@clackamas.us.

Thank you for being on this journey with us!
