The City of Mercer Island has completed its first ever Climate Action Plan (CAP) to guide the government, business, and household actions needed to reduce the community’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and protect our environment.

This page was used for the public engagement components of the process, such as gathering feedback via public comment, online surveys, and Q&A. It also provides easy access to documents and presentations that supported the plan drafting.

The City used a range of other outreach tools such as workshops, pop-up events, and public meetings throughout the 16-month CAP process, and the CAP was adopted on 4 April, 2023. Now the City will turn to implementing the first Early Actions, and seeking additional funding.

Read our 2-page explainer summarizing the CAP process.

    Climate Action Plan Community Survey (Oct/Nov 2022)

    (Sept 2022) Mercer Island is currently developing our first Climate Action Plan (CAP) that will serve as a roadmap for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and preparing for the unavoidable impacts of climate change. This survey will ask you about your opinions on strategies the City is considering to prevent and prepare for climate change. Your feedback is critical to ensuring we create a plan that meets the needs and priorities of Mercer Island.

    This survey will take around 5-10 minutes to complete . Responses are anonymous unless you choose to provide your contact information. Only complete this survey if you have not filled out the paper copy sent to your residence. Please complete only one survey per household. 

    If you have questions about the survey or wish to give input by email or phone, please contact the City's Sustainability Office: Ross Freeman, Climate Action Plan Project Manager: sustainability@mercerisland.gov.
