City Seeks Feedback For Climate Planning

The City of Spokane has launched a community climate policy survey to guide future climate action strategies, with the survey open until August 31, 2025. Mayor Lisa Brown highlights the importance of gathering feedback from all 29 neighborhoods to understand local priorities for climate resilience. Earlier this year, over 1,500 residents shared their experiences with climate challenges, which informed the Climate Risk and Vulnerability Assessment. This assessment combines community insights with data to identify local climate risks. The climate planning project is funded by a state grant supported by Washington’s Climate Commitment Act, which aims to reduce climate pollution and improve public health.

The survey is available in English and five other languages, promoting inclusivity. Results will influence policies integrated into the PlanSpokane 2046 update, shaping future actions by city leaders. Community participation is vital as Spokane plans for a sustainable future.
