Resolutions, Ordinances, or Other Climate Legislation
This assessment is based on four Pima County resolutions adopted between 2017 and 2022. The legislation consists of resolutions—formal policy statements—that address climate action through multiple strategies. The resolutions focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions from county operations, expanding renewable energy sources like solar and biogas, improving energy efficiency in buildings, and reducing wastewater treatment emissions. Key implementation approaches include establishing annual departmental emission targets, scaling solar installations, purchasing electric vehicles, and providing semi-annual progress reports to county leadership. Additionally, one resolution urges federal action on a carbon fee and dividend program as a national emissions reduction strategy.
