Fayetteville Reacts to Climate Change

The city of Fayetteville is leading efforts to combat climate change. A draft of a city-wide comprehensive greenhouse gas reduction strategy was recently released for public input. The Energy Action Plan consists of the following categories:

1. Buildings: Increasing energy efficiency in new and existing structures.

2. Energy supply: Increasing Fayetteville’s clean energy supply.

3. Transportation: Reducing emissions from transportation activities.

4. Waste: Reducing emissions from solid waste directed to the landfill.

Fayetteville Mayor Lioneld Jordan, along with hundreds of mayors from across the country, also signed a letter committing to uphold goals outlined in the Paris Climate Agreement.
