Share your experience with climate impacts
How has climate change impacted you and your community? The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP), in partnership with the Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission and Metropolitan Mayors Caucus, is creating a plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the greater Chicago region by 2050, and they want to hear from you! For a chance to win a $20 gift card, share your experience by visiting cmap.is/ccapgc.
The Comprehensive Climate Action Plan for Greater Chicago will identify key actions needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from all major sources and align the greater Chicago region with national net-zero emissions goals by 2050. This is a national goal to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.
This plan covers 13 counties and 3 states in Greater Chicago. It will build on previous climate action plans from across the region, creating a coordinated strategy to equitably reduce emissions and address climate impacts in low-income and disadvantaged communities.
The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP), the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus, and the Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission (NIRPC) are creating this plan together. This work is supported by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Climate Pollution Reduction Grants program and will be completed by December 2025.
Outreach and engagement
Achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions will require action across all sectors of the economy. Developing a plan to coordinate this work will similarly require collaboration among policy makers, implementers, community leaders, and other stakeholders.
The project team has convened five distinct groups to guide and inform the development of the plan:
Steering committee
Community working group
Buildings working group
Industry working group
Transportation working group
See below for materials related to these project groups, including meeting notes, presentations, and memoranda.
