The Vermont Climate Action Commission will be hosting a series of public scoping sessions through the state in September and October to gather input and recommendations from Vermonters.  The Commission hopes to hear people’s experiences in dealing with the effects of climate change, as well as their ideas for potential actions that the Commission could recommend to the Governor’s office.

The Climate Action Commission was formed by Governor Phil Scott to unify Vermont’s ambitious climate and economic goals.  It is chaired by Vermont Agency of Natural Resources Deputy Secretary Peter Walke and co-chaired by Paul Costello, Executive Director of the Vermont Council on Rural Development.  Other committee members come from a wide variety of fields in both the public and private sector, and represent business, energy, and environmental organizations.

A bus is available traveling to the event from Williston, and a Sustainable Williston member currently has carpool seats. Use the contact form if you’d like to travel in either of these ways.
