The Town of Truckee has begun the process of creating Truckee’s first Climate Action Plan. The first step in the process was to complete an inventory of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which was completed in April 2016, establishing baselines for use in guiding GHG emissions reduction efforts and setting targets in the Climate Action Plan.
