Alderwoman Marina Dimitrijevic, Erick Shambarger - Director of Environmental Sustainability for the City of Milwaukee, members of the City-County Task Force on Climate and Economic Equity, and community activists will hold a press conference on Wednesday, June 14 at 8:30 a.m. in the first floor rotunda of City Hall to discuss the significance and impact of the city’s recently introduced Climate and Equity Plan
The plan aims to reduce community greenhouse gas emissions 45% by 2030 and achieve net zero emissions by 2050, while improving racial and economic equity by creating green jobs that pay at least $40,000 and are focused on recruiting local people of color.
The final plan comes after several years of community-led and supported work by the City-County Task Force on Climate and Economic Equity. At the conclusion of the press conference, attendees will proceed to room 301-B on the third floor of City Hall for a public hearing on the Climate and Equity Plan as part of the Finance and Personnel Committee meeting that will begin at 9 a.m. Those unable to attend the meeting can provide comments electronically to be submitted as part of the official record here.
