City of Flagstaff issued the following announcement on Jan. 6.
The Flagstaff Sustainability Office invites Flagstaff residents to join a Climate Advisory Group to guide the implementation of the City’s Carbon Neutrality Plan and bring community voices into local climate action.
Climate Advisory Groups will bring youth, businesses, and equity leaders together to drive climate solutions. Members of the Climate Advisory Groups will provide advice and recommendations:
- To advance the city’s climate and carbon neutrality goals.
- To identify climate action opportunities and challenges.
- To connect the City of Flagstaff with the people, communities, and businesses it serves.
The public is invited to apply to join one of the three standing Climate Advisory Groups that will launch in 2022: Youth Advisory Group, Business Advisory Group, and Equity Advisory Group.
City staff are hoping to attract members with diverse perspectives, networks, and expertise. The City hopes to recruit leaders from the business sector, individuals that champion justice or identify with a marginalized or unserved community, and young people with the desire to engage in climate action.
People interested in learning more, applying, or nominating a fellow community member to serve on a Climate Advisory Group can do so at https://gis.flagstaffaz.gov/portal/apps/sites/#/flagstaffclimate/pages/climate-advisory-groups. Deadlines to apply vary by group.
