Home MenuClimate Action Plan
The City of Falcon Heights is developing a Climate Action Plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, address the climate crisis, and build resilience. The city has already seen the effects of climate change in variable weather conditions, air quality health risks from wildfires, and extreme heat. To address it, the city has goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and switch to renewable energy sources. As a GreenStep city and part of the Partners in Energy program through Xcel Energy, we are already taking action to address climate change. A Climate Action Plan is one of the most important next steps for achieving these goals.
The plan is being funded by a Minnesota Pollution Control Agency grant and is being supported by paleBLUEdot LLC, the city's Sustainability Plan consultant. The Climate Action Plan stems from the Climate Crisis resolution adopted by the city council in January 2023, which included a commitment to consider a Climate Action Plan with inputs from the Falcon Heights community and local partners. Currently, the city is working to prepare baseline documents for the Climate Action Plan. For updates and more information, consult the paleBLUEdot website for Falcon Heights.
