Climate change gets boost of attention from county planners
EVERETT — Climate change will be featured more prominently in the 2024 update of Snohomish County’s Comprehensive Plan, which guides many policy and budget decisions.
The public has until May 1 to comment on the new Climate Element, or section, of the draft plan. Input received over email at 2024Update@snoco.org or through the online comment form will help shape the policy amendments that county staff refine and present to the Planning Commission and County Council.
The Comprehensive Plan update process is explained online at bit.ly/SnoCo2024.
Jim Bloss, a member of the Citizens Climate Lobby, appreciates the county’s short description of the Climate Element, which reads: “Our world and Snohomish County are changing. This element aims to provide policy direction around how the county can both adapt to and mitigate against these changes in long- and short-term weather patterns.”
