HARTFORD—The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CT DEEP) is leading the development of the state’s Climate Pollution Reduction Grant Priority Climate Action Plan with proposed actions the state may implement to reduce the air pollution that is warming our planet, clean up our air, and provide important benefits to communities in the state, such as reduced energy bills, improved public health, and more jobs.
It is important that CT DEEP incorporate public comment from individuals and organizations on the most significant community challenges and potential benefits to communities related to these actions to reduce greenhouse gases as part of its Notice of Request for Public Comment issued on December 22, 2023.
In order to facilitate the receipt of public comment, the DEEP has created a Public Comment Survey on challenges and benefits, which takes about 10 minutes to complete. It also offers the option to spend more time to provide detailed comments on each climate action proposed by the state.
Responses to this survey are considered public and will be posted publicly. on the DEEP Climate Action Plan website after the survey closes as official public comment on the Priority Climate Action Plan.
The public comment survey results will inform CT DEEP’s analysis of the benefits and potential negative impacts of the 14 actions and plans to address those impacts on communities in Connecticut to be included with the Priority Climate Action Plan. All updates on the Priority Climate Action Plan will be shared via our Climate Solutions Newsletter and posted on the DEEP Climate Action Plan website.
This survey will be closed at 11:59 p.m. on Jan. 12, 2024.
