Burien is developing our first Burien Climate Action Plan. The Burien Climate Action Plan will establish actions the city and community can take to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and will propose strategies to keep Burien a sustainable community.
In late 2019, the Burien City Council adopted the updated King County-Cities Climate Collaboration (K4C) joint letter of commitment which establishes GHG emissions reduction targets for county wide sources by at least 50 percent by 2030, and 80 percent by 2050, compared to a 2007 baseline.
Accomplishing the goals of the CAP will require cooperation of City staff, businesses, and residents that make up our Burien community.
