ADAPT DSM
Des Moines is already experiencing the effects of climate change, and these impacts challenge our quality of life, economy, and future.
To better coordinate our response to climate change, reduce harmful emissions, and chart a more resilient future, the City of Des Moines developed a community-wide climate action and adaptation plan.
Now that it is approved, this plan will guide decision-making, policy, and program development for pollution and greenhouse gas emissions mitigation and climate adaptation actions that address climate change.
The effort, titled ADAPT DSM, is a visionary, action-oriented plan to achieve the following goals:
2025
2030
2035
2050greenhouse
gas emissions
The City of Des Moines is committed to an equitable and inclusive process, recognizing that robust community involvement and input are essential to the success of both the planning effort and future implementation. All Des Moines community members had the opportunity to contribute their ideas and the City’s project team worked closely with community partners to ensure that the voices of those disproportionately impacted by climate change were reflected and prioritized in the final plan.
