Eugene Climate and Energy Action Plan (CEAP)
From Eugene Neighbors
In the summer of 2009, the City of Eugene, Oregon has initiated a process to form a Climate and Energy Action Plan (CEAP). The goal is create a widely supported plan during one year of work, to be completed by September 2010.
Matt McRae, recently appointed Climate and Energy Action Coordinator at City of Eugene, is the staff person managing this process.
The Climate and Energy Action Plan project is separate from, though lightly cross-linked with, the Eugene Sustainability Commission, staffed by Felicity Fahy, Sustainability Manager.
A community advisory team has been appointed by the City Manager.
[edit] Meetings
The community advisory team (CAT) for the Eugene Climate and Energy Action Plan is meeting something like each second Wednesday during the afternoon.
