City of Portland announces appointments to new Sustainability and Climate Commission
The inaugural appointees to the Sustainability and Climate Commission (SCC) were confirmed by City Council earlier today, marking a significant step forward in advancing climate action, environmental justice, and sustainability throughout Portland.
The 20-member Commission was created to guide and champion the City’s climate goals, serving as an advisory body bridging Portland City Council, City Bureaus, and the community. Commissioners will create and evaluate the City’s Climate Action Plan, which outlines Portland’s pathway to eliminating carbon emissions by 2050 and improving resilience, particularly for historically marginalized communities.
