The April Commission on Sustainability meeting will take place on Wednesday, April 20th from 4-6pm. This meeting will be a Sustainability and Resiliency Community Forum. The goal of the forum is to provide Baltimore City residents with updates on sustainability and resiliency actions taking place across the city, outline progress on implementing strategies and actions in the 2019 Sustainability Plan, and discuss the commitment to sustainability, resiliency, and environmental justice in Mayor Scott’s Term 1 Action Plan. During the event, residents will learn how the City's newly formed Sustainability and Resiliency Subcabinet is helping the city reach urban sustainability and resiliency goals through fostering inter-agency collaboration.
Please register for the event here. The event is hosted via WebEx and you can join by computer or phone. We look forward to seeing you there!
