MOCO Climate Change Town Hall Dec. 2: Give Action Expectations

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MD — Anyone in Montgomery County who has questions or comments about climate change and action that can be taken to combat it can attend a Town Hall this week, hosted by the County Council.

It's scheduled for Dec. 2, from 7 to 9 p.m. on Zoom.

“Four years after declaring a climate emergency, Montgomery County is far behind in reaching our climate goals. It's time for us to get serious and take bold, aggressive action to address this crisis,” said Council President Tom Hucker, who also serves as chair of the Council’s Transportation and Environment Committee, in a statement. "This town hall is a great opportunity for residents to share their feedback and vision for climate action and learn more about what steps the County is taking to move toward a more resilient and equitable future."

The County unveiled its Climate Action Plan in June, which outlined specific goals for seven key areas of climate interest, including reducing emissions from energy, buildings and transportation, engaging the community, and improving infrastructure.

The Council asking that residents sign up and submit their questions before the meeting begins, here. After registering, a link for joining the Zoom will be sent. The Town Hall will also be streamed on the Council's Facebook, YouTube and County Cable Montgomery on channels 30 (Fios), 1056 (RCN) and 996 (Xfinity).
