Climate Action

Beginning in 2022, Clallam County undertook a significant climate action initiative to develop a Climate Action Plan to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions from County government operations. The impacts of climate change are already being observed in Clallam County, including warmer maximum temperatures, rising sea levels along coastlines, and increased extreme weather events including drought and flooding.

This Climate Action Plan sets the foundation for future climate action by outlining key strategies and actions across many focus areas that the County and its community can implement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase capacity for adapting to the impacts of climate change. This plan prioritizes action that can be implemented in the next five years as the County takes steps torward meaningful climate action.
