Communications and Design for Cleveland's Climate Action Plans

The City of Cleveland Mayor’s Office of Sustainability is taking steps to update both the community-wide Climate Action Plan (CAP) and its Municipal Action Plan (MAP), which covers city operations. Originally developed in 2013, the CAP and MAP have been instrumental in helping Cleveland chart a course toward sustainability and resilience. With the changing climate and its growing impacts on communities, it is essential to update and enhance these plans to ensure they remain effective in mitigating climate-related challenges. In recent years, Cleveland has witnessed an alarming increase in extreme weather events, including severe storms, flooding, and extreme heat, and these threats will likely have significant long-term impacts on the city's economy and public health.
