Dear Alaskan,
Happy May and best wishes for a safe spring breakup season!
Thank you for your interest in this Administration’s climate change initiatives and the work of the Climate Action for Alaska Leadership Team (CALT). We are pleased share that the CALT has a draft Alaska Climate Change Policy posted online and is inviting public comment on the document until June 4, 2018. This draft policy is the result of much hard work by the CALT and is responsive to the public input received thus far. We are eager to continue the conversation with Alaskans over the coming months and to hear your ideas on how Alaska’s first climate action plan can strengthen the health, safety, culture, and economy of our communities and our state.
Climate Action Leadership Team
The CALT held its second in-person meeting at the University of Alaska Fairbanks on April 12. During the all-day meeting, team members focused on reviewing and editing a preliminary draft climate policy. The policy was revised based on the team’s discussion, and the updated version was posted on the website May 3 for public comment.
