Our Climate Future Themes

We asked our community to imagine a sustainable future and what might keep us from getting there. 

Then, we read through every community member's response and created a draft set of themes in two categories to summarize what we think we heard:

Community Priorities for achieving Our Climate Future: this is what City Staff think they heard the community say should be top priorities for creating a more sustainable Fort Collins.

Big Barriers to achieving Our Climate Future: this is what City Staff think they heard the community say are the large barriers to creating a more sustainable Fort Collins.

Then, City Staff looked at the Priorities and the Barriers to create...

Core Principles for developing and screening strategies to achieve Our Climate Future: City Staff looked at the Community Priorities and Big Barriers and then created a set of Core Principles framed as questions to both design and evaluate the strategies identified in the Our Climate Future planning process.
