Resolutions, Ordinances, or Other Climate Legislation

This assessment is based on three pieces of legislation. Stevens Point, Wisconsin has established a comprehensive sustainability framework through an ordinance creating a Sustainability Commission (effective September 2024) and a resolution committing to 100 percent clean energy and carbon neutrality in city operations by 2040. The Commission will study and recommend strategies across landscape conservation, clean water, air quality, climate change, and resource efficiency, while the city will hire a sustainability coordinator by April 2025 to track emissions and develop policies. Additionally, the city adopted a 2018 resolution supporting a federal carbon fee on fossil fuels, which would charge producers or importers an increasing fee and return revenues to households as dividends to help reduce U.S. emissions. Together, these legislative actions focus on local emissions reduction, renewable energy transition, and advocacy for national climate policy.
