Climate Action Plan

The City’s first Climate Action Plan (CAP) is being developed as a direct outcome of the baseline greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory and to support the climate legislation championed by our elected officials.

The goal of the CAP is to reduce GHG emissions community-wide while mitigating the effects of climate change.

After examining the main sources of greenhouse gases in our community, a large focus of the CAP is on Energy, Transportation and Solid Waste. The CAP will prioritize actions to reduce emissions and reach our emissions reduction goal of net-zero GHG emissions by 2050 and interim goal of 60% emissions reduction by 2035 compared to 2019 levels.

The timeline for the rollout of the CAP is under development.

Targets

Proposed Actions

The Climate Action Plan focuses on three main categories: electricity consumption, transportation, and solid waste. Each year, the largest source of emissions is electricity consumption, making up 60-70% of total emissions community-wide; followed by transportation, comprising about 20% of total emissions; and then solid waste, constituting less than 15% of total emissions. Below is the list of proposed actions for the Climate Action Plan.

Public feedback

To assist with the plan, the City invited the community to share their feedback through a questionnaire. The feedback shared by residents, business owners and community members within the City of Miami Beach will be incorporated into the Climate Action Plan and support the proposed actions.

We want to hear from you! If you have comments or feedback on the Climate Action Plan, please submit them in the comment box below.
