The City of Spokane is embarking on a transformative journey to support community resiliency to growing climate hazards. As part of this effort, we're undertaking a major update to our Comprehensive Plan, a foundational document guiding the city's growth and development. This update, mandated by the Washington State Growth Management Act and due in 2026, presents a unique opportunity to integrate climate considerations into every aspect of our city's future.
Earth Day Community Workshop
You are invited to the City of Spokane Earth Day Community Workshop to learn more about ongoing Climate Planning efforts and provide input on future actions to shape a sustainable future. This drop-in workshop at the West Central Community Center provides an in-person opportunity for community members to engage in the development of the City of Spokane’s climate and resiliency policies.
Not only will you have the chance to contribute to a brighter future, but attendees who visit all workshop stations will be entered into a raffle for some exciting prizes.
This family-friendly event will also feature activities for kids. Food from Feast World Kitchen will be provided.
Climate hazards affect everyone, regardless of age, background, or socioeconomic status. By proactively addressing climate risks and vulnerabilities, we can:
Protect Our Community
Climate-resilient infrastructure and policies can help mitigate the impacts of extreme weather events, reduce risks to public health, and safeguard our homes and businesses for our collective wellbeing.
Preserve Our Environment
By reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainable practices, we can protect our natural resources, safeguard biodiversity, and preserve the beauty of our region for future generations.
Promote Equity and Justice
Climate hazards disproportionately impact vulnerable communities, exacerbating existing inequalities and injustices. By centering equity in our climate planning efforts, we can ensure that all residents have access to the resources and support they need to thrive.
