Delaware’s Climate Action Plan

Delaware’s Climate Action Plan is the State’s playbook of actionable strategies and goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, produce energy from renewable sources and protect our natural resources, communities, and people from the impacts of climate change.

The Climate Action Plan outlines strategies that the state can take to both: 

  • Minimize greenhouse gas emissions, which drive the climate change we see today
  • Maximize resilience to climate change impacts

The 2021 Delaware Climate Action Plan was the result of a year-long process involving residents, businesses and technical experts. The plan was published, in November of 2021, in both English and Spanish.

An executive summary is also available.
