Montgomery County Climate Action Plan Update

October 7, 4:00 PM EDT
In July 2019, Montgomery County launched a planning process to develop prioritized actions and strategies to meet the County’s greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals. Our own Kim Goddu served on not one but two of the working groups established to create recommendations to help the County achieve zero emissions and create a resilient climate.

Join Bethesda Green on October 7th for a virtual chat with Adriana Hochberg, Assistant Chief Administrative Officer & Climate Change Coordinator in the Office of the County Executive. Find out how the plan would affect you and your family, local businesses, and how to provide comments on the upcoming draft!
