Methow Valley Climate Action Plan
The Methow Valley Climate Action Plan represents the culmination of two years of work and reflects the involvement and contributions of hundreds of Methow residents, science experts, and representatives of local governments, tribes, community organizations, public agencies, and businesses. While the plan is complete for now, we see it as a living document - to be used, referred to, and updated over time.
Executive Summary
This Climate Action Plan for the Methow Valley can help our community prepare for the impacts of climate change and implement climate solutions by reducing local sources of greenhouse gas emissions. Grounded in science and based on input from experts and community members, the Plan offers a vision for a Resilient Methow and realistic, practical strategies and actions to become a stronger, healthier community.
Emissions Inventory
According to a study commissioned for this process, 92% of greenhouse gas emissions in our community come from the transportation sector, 4% are associated with heat and cooling buildings and 4% come from waste and wastewater, aviation, and irrigation and frost control.
