2025 Environmental Sustainability Action Plan - Draft Document Review
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
In March 2025, the City of Redmond began the update to the 2020 Environmental Sustainability Action Plan (ESAP) with the goal of prioritizing actions for the next five years and aligning with Redmond 2050. Throughout the summer months, staff conducted outreach to better understand community barriers and priorities as it relates to sustainability and climate action. Similarly, a detailed analysis was completed to quantify pathways to the City's climate goals. This work has culminated into an updated 2025 ESAP, which identifies the key actions the city will implement over the next five years to keep Redmond on track towards our goals.
During the Nov. 12 Study Session, staff will review the full draft document, share how community feedback has shaped the draft strategies and actions since the Sept. 23 Study Session, review the data and assumptions that underpin the Plan, and gather final Council input and direction.
