Citizen Advisory Committee

The Citizen Advisory Committee is now called the "Community Advisory Committee". This page is only available for historical purposes and may be deleted in the future.

To learn what's currently happening with this Committee, please visit fcgov.com/cac.

In April 2014, City Council passed a Resolution calling for an ad hoc citizen advisory committee to develop, for City Council’s consideration, an updated Climate Action Plan that described the steps our community will need to take to achieve community-wide GHG reduction goals of:

  • 20% below 2005 levels by 2020
  • 80% below 2005 levels by 2030
  • 100% below 2005 levels by 2050 (Carbon neutral)

Local Climate Impacts

Fort Collins Extreme Heat Report (PDF)
According to the National Weather Service, extreme heat killed more Americans in the last decade than any other weather-related event. The City of Fort Collins commissioned the Rocky Mountain Climate Organization to prepare a study to analyze climate model predictions for future heat impacts in Fort Collins specifically. The study finds the Fort Collins experienced twice as many 90-degree days in the past 14 years than in the previous 39 years. This is a wakeup call for how the City will need to adapt to impacts from increased heat including impacts to water quality and quantity, elevated wildfire risk, worsening air quality, and increased energy use for cooling purposes.
