Frederick County and the City of Frederick have jointly released their first-ever Community-Wide Climate and Energy Action Plan (CEAP). This initiative outlines a detailed strategy to address climate change and enhance the region’s resilience to its effects. The plan, a result of over a year of collaborative efforts involving government officials, community members, businesses, and nonprofit organizations, aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and bolster defenses against climate hazards such as extreme heat, flooding, and severe storms.

The CEAP is grounded in data and scientific analysis, incorporating extensive community input. More than 500 residents participated in public meetings and workshops, while over 650 completed surveys, helping to shape the plan’s recommendations. Key community concerns, including energy affordability, the impact of data centers, farmland preservation, and the expansion of transportation alternatives, have been directly addressed. The plan aligns with existing local sustainability efforts and adheres to state and international standards for mitigation and resilience.
Following the release of the CEAP, Frederick County and the City of Frederick are focusing on five key next steps: fostering continued community engagement and partnerships, maintaining transparent reporting on climate trends, piloting local solutions, ensuring code compliance, and advocating for supportive policies. The full plan can be accessed online.
