The Global Warming Commission is seeking public comment on recommendations it adopted last fall as an Interim Roadmap to 2020. Help shape the state’s response to climate change!
Join us Thursday at a Portland-Multnomah County hosted event that will be led by Multnomah County Chair Jeff Cogen and Portland’s Mayor Sam Adams. Join other participants to discuss and critique parts of the Roadmap of particular interest to you in a collaborative process.
June 9, 6 – 7:30 pm, Multnomah County Building, County Boardroom, 501 SE Hawthorne Blvd, Portland, Blvd, Portland, Oregon, 97214.
The Oregon Global Warming Commission is a 25-member commission created in 2007 by the Oregon legislature. It is charged with helping coordinate state and local efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and making sure the state meets its climate goals. In 2007, Oregon adopted greenhouse gas reduction goals which include cutting greenhouse gases 10 percent below 1990 levels by 2020; and achieving a 75 percent reduction from 1990 levels by 2050.
“We hope Oregonians will seize this opportunity to help shape the State’s strategies for reducing greenhouse gases,” said Angus Duncan, Chair of the Commission. “The interim recommendations touch nearly every aspect of our lives in this state, from the cars we drive and homes we live in to how we manage our farms and forests. Oregonians can speak to these ideas in the evening workshops or by responding to the online survey.”
The Commission is asking Oregonians to take an online survey to provide feedback on the Roadmap to 2020 and on the state’s work to shrink the state’s greenhouse gas footprint. The survey can be taken at:
Feedback from the survey will be used to inform the Commission’s future work, and will be provided to elected officials and policymakers working on a response to climate change.

I love music, Portland, open spaces and our COC co-worker Dave Mayfield’s music. The decision-science guru Mayfield has many other sides to his gifted personality. Yes, there is a life beyond least cost planning and sustainable mobility! Not only is he a great planner and landscape painter, he’s a musician! Dave’s band Dawn Fitzgerald and The Dents played for an electric vehicle event at Pioneer Square today. The Vehicle, the Arcimoto Pulse is kind of cute and kind of funny looking, but the music was great. If you have a chance to catch the Dents in Portland, you’ll enjoy! Next up: Mississippi Pizza October 1 6:30 pm. Family friendly, thank heavens!
