Bedford Draft Climate Action Plan
The Final Bedford Climate Action Plan is now available, click here for plan.
In April, 2007, Supervisor Lee Roberts and the Bedford Town Board created the 9 member Energy Advisory Panel. In November of that year, the Town Board passed a resolution committing Bedford to a twenty percent reduction in community wide greenhouse gas emissions, below our 2004 baseline year, by 2020. The Bedford Twenty by 2020 goal was the beginning of a two year campaign designed to educate, engage and gain the commitment of the entire town. The Bedford Energy Advisory Panel has spent the last two years inventorying our community’s greenhouse gas emissions, talking to experts, researching other cities’ best practices and engaging the community through a series of town wide events. The result is this Draft of The Climate Action Plan.
The Plan focuses on four sectors; Energy, Transportation, Land + Water Use and Waste + Recycling. It is not a government plan or strictly for municipal use, but it encompasses businesses, residences, schools and virtually every segment of Bedford. Each sector outlines specific recommendations for reducing Green House Gases within Bedford. back to top
