Client: Orange County, NC
Project: Climate Action Plan

Blue Strike delivered an equity-focused, community driven Climate Action Plan for the County. We worked closely with the County to set climate adaptation and greenhouse gas-reduction goals, and to develop strategic pathways including sector-specific targets and actions for the County to take. We also delivered a detailed implementation plan to ensure the CAP action steps are staffed, funded and completed in a timely fashion. Through this process, the County will move closer to becoming carbon neutral in alignment with IPCC targets, as well as preparing for the future impacts of climate change. 

Our engagement included:

• Creating of community and municipal GHG inventories and forecasts

• Future year and interim GHG reduction targets

• A robust stakeholder engagement process including focus groups, community surveys, and a community symposium

• Carbon Disclosure Project Reporting for 2023

• A detailed Funding Plan to help fund CAP actions

• A community-facing, online CAP Dashboard to communicate progress and metrics
