Obama Releases Climate Action Plan to Reduce Emissions, Help Communities Adapt and Become More ResilientThis afternoon, President Obama unveiled a comprehensive climate action plan , which includes proposals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and better prepare the country for the impacts of climate change. Climate change has been a priority concern for the wastewater sector, and NACWA will be engaging with the Administration to ensure that the plan and any next steps address the impacts of climate change on wastewater treatment plants. The plan, which consists of a wide variety of executive actions, has three key pillars. They are listed below along with several highlights: Cutting Carbon Pollution in America
Preparing the United States for the Impacts of Climate Change
Leading International Efforts to Address Global Climate Change
In response to the plan, NACWA will be sending a letter to the President urging the Administration to ensure that the wastewater sector is fully engaged in the plan’s implementation. Additionally, as NACWA learns more about how the various aspects of how the plan will impact its public agency members, the Association will provide regular updates to the membership.
