The City of Allentown is developing its first Climate Action Plan: a roadmap to a healthier, safer, and more resilient City for all of us. Thank you to everyone who shared ideas with us in our first round of forums! Now we’re ready to share what we heard and dig into the details together. You don’t need to be a climate expert to participate. Whether you care about your neighborhood, your family’s health, housing, jobs, quality of life, or the future of Allentown, your perspective is needed in this plan. Here are some upcoming opportunities to get engaged.

Come share your experiences and ideas in person or online.

Phase 2: We’ll share what we learned from your initial ideas and priorities, then dig into more specific strategies and actions to respond to climate change. Review draft sections of the plan and help us shape the details that matter most to you.
