To: Edina Boards and Commissions
From: Grace Hancock, Sustainability Manager
Subject: Edina Commission Climate Action Menu: 2023 Work Plan options
Attachment: 2023 Commission Climate Action Menu
Background: The City’s first Climate Action Plan (CAP) was approved at the end of 2021 with 36
strategies supported by 200 actions. The CAP identifies the City’s GHG emission reduction target of 45%
below 2019 levels by 2030 and achieve net zero emissions by 2050. The CAP’s goal is to help those who
live and work in Edina imagine and achieve a future where the Earth and all who live on it thrive.
For more information, the Climate Action Plan was the subject of a 2021 Town Talk, viewable here:
https://www.bettertogetheredina.org/town-talks/forum_topics/sustainability-climate-action-plan
In 2022, City staff kicked off the implementation of the CAP, undertaking ~60 actions, along with a few
actions led by Commissions. With feedback from the Energy and Environment Commission, the
Sustainability Division has informed City Council that it will ask that each Commission consider adding a
Climate Action to its 2023 work plan.
Attached is a refined list of Climate Actions that are suitable for Commission leadership. Some have been
identified as especially suitable for certain Commissions, but all are available for all Commissions to
consider for their 2023 work plan. These actions were chosen based on the nature of Commission work –
resident volunteers who advise Council based on their Commission Charge. The intent for any Climate
Action undertaken by a Commission is to study the issue and identify what's possible for Council to
consider as next steps. It is not expected that Commissions accomplish the Action within one year, rather
it is hoped that Commissions can lend their resident perspective and expertise to make meaningful
contributions to the progress of any action they choose to undertake.
Action Requested: Commissions should discuss the Climate Action Menu as part of their 2023 work
plan development process. Commissions should consider including one Climate Action in their 2023 work
plan, and be prepared to mention how their work aligns with the Climate Action Plan when presenting to
City Council. For clarifying questions related to any Climate Actions, Commission Chairs should contact
the EEC Chair and/or Vice Chair.
