Resolutions, Ordinances, or Other Climate Legislation

This assessment is based on one piece of legislation. The City of Monona adopted Resolution 19-2328 in March 2019 to establish targets for clean energy and climate resilience across both city operations and the broader community. The resolution sets specific energy reduction goals—such as cutting municipal energy use by 15 percent by 2030 and transitioning to 100 percent renewable electricity by 2030—while also requiring community-wide reductions in energy consumption. Key focus areas include developing green infrastructure like urban trees, green roofs, and electric vehicle charging stations, as well as promoting active transportation. The resolution directs all city departments to update their plans and budgets to support these changes, with particular attention to ensuring benefits reach low-income residents and supporting community-based renewable energy projects.
