2024 Climate Action plan

In July 2021, the Montclair Town Council passed resolution R-21-162 authorizing the Montclair Environmental Commission (MEC) to create a Climate Action Plan for the Township.

The Montclair Climate Action plan is a strategic framework and guide for Township administration, businesses, and residents to reach suggested carbon emission reduction targets by 2030.

This plan is informed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) which calls for a 50% global reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030.

In addition, it aligns with the overall goals established in the 2007 New Jersey Global Warming Response Act mandating an 80% reduction in GHG emissions in New Jersey by 2050; New Jersey’s Global Warming Reduction Act 80 x 50 Report, providing strategies to meet those goals; and the more concrete goals established in the 2019 New Jersey Energy Master Plan.
