 ADVISORY WORKING GROUPS

 committee members working

Last fall, the CASC convened topic specific working groups to support the development of the Bend Community Climate Action Plan.  The working groups played a vital role in brainstorming and developing potential actions the community can take to reduce our fossil fuel use. The actions from the working groups will be considered by the CASC for the CCAP. Working groups were made up of stakeholders relevant to the particular sectors, subject matter experts, and interested members of the public. There were four different working group topics. You can see the action ideas created during the working groups at the links below:
