Next DEP Climate Change Advisory Committee Meeting Set For Dec. 4

The next meeting of  DEP’s Climate Change Advisory Committee is scheduled for December 4.  The October 23 meeting is canceled.  (formal notice)

The Committee has been discussing a series of presentations by ICS, the contractor DEP hired to help with the 2018 Update to the PA Climate Change Action Plan, on topics ranging from flood risk reduction, energy strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, agricultural and recreation policy changes to mitigate climate change impacts.

The Committee is expected to continue those discussions at the December meeting.

DEP is required by Act 70 of 2008 to update Pennsylvania’s Climate Change Action Plan every three years.  The last update was published in 2015.

The meeting will be held in Room 105 of the Rachel Carson Building in Harrisburg starting at 10:00.
