City of Evansville Climate Action Plan
The City of Evansville is committed to addressing climate change within our community. In 2020, the Winnecke Administration developed a Climate Action Plan (CAP) in partnership with the Indiana University Environmental Resilience Institute. The CAP will create both immediate and lasting environmental benefits for the Evansville community. The plan will also strengthen economic development, improve air quality, and reduce waste.
The CAP is organized into four impact areas: transportation, buildings and energy, waste, and local food, agriculture, and green space. Actions items in each of the impact areas are designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in our community.
