Review the Pittsburgh Climate Action Plan
When the U.S. pulled out of the Paris Climate Agreement in 2017, it became clear that leadership from local government, businesses, and civic institutions needed to fill the void.

Why It Matters
More than 300,000 people live in Pittsburgh (as of 2020). The city is home to many built assets, economic activity and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Therefore, ambitious action is critical to respond to the climate crisis.
Pittsburgh has already begun to experience the effects of climate change with harsher winters, hotter summers, record setting precipitation, more flooding, and increased numbers of invasive species. Coordinated, concentrated, and comprehensive carbon mitigation action is needed to reduce the severity of regional impacts and prepare for a zero carbon economy.
