Climate Action Plan and Dashboard

This webpage is a public resource that provides key information and performance indicators relevant to Jefferson County’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the Jefferson County Climate Action Plan.


In 2022, the Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners approved the first Jefferson County Climate Action Plan which was developed over a 12-month period with extensive public engagement and input from industry experts.
