Climate Action by Topic
The Community Climate Action Plan divides its recommendations into three main categories. Learn more about our work, and what you can do, in these areas:
Transportation – the city’s main source of GHG emissions. Learn about all the work we are doing to create a more walkable and transit-rich city with plenty of options for getting around – including in electric vehicles.
Buildings and Energy – the electricity and fuel the lights, heats, cools, and powers our buildings and equipment is another main source of emissions – and one where we have seen steep decreases in emissions in recent years!
Resilience, waste, and other topics – helping Raleigh become a city built to withstand climate change, with an emphasis on heat and flooding.

Raleigh’s award winning Community Climate Action Plan (CCAP) was one of the first in the country to focus on:
- Reducing community-wide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, with the goal of an 80% reduction by 2050
- Addressing equity, environmental justice and community health
- Building community resilience to the impacts of climate change
CCAP was the city’s first community-wide climate plan and was released in 2021. CCAP was developed with the help of experts, leaders, community organizations, and City staff.
In the Raleigh community, residents and many organizations, stakeholders, businesses and partners have been taking their own actions, from installing solar panels on roofs, to riding their bikes to work, to installing green infrastructure and so much more.
These small actions add up, but in order to achieve our goal and make the impact needed on climate change, we must all work together!
