Climate change in Cuyahoga County is real. It is already affecting our environment, economy, and human health across Northeast Ohio.

What is Cuyahoga County doing?

Our Climate Change Action Plan:
  • Sets targets for greenhouse gas emissions reduction
  • Implements and tracks actions to meet targets
  • Adapts to climate change as it occurs across the county.

This plan has five focus areas: energy, transportation, land use, ecosystem, and health.
