Project Overview

The City of Flagstaff is updating the Carbon Neutrality Plan (CNP) - our community's roadmap for preparing for climate risks, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and protecting residents' well-being for decades to come.

The CNP sets clear goals to guide the City's climate action and collaboration with the community, with the shared aim of creating a healthier, more affordable, and more sustainable community.

The CNP is a living document that is regularly updated to reflect progress, integrate community feedback and improve its usability. The City's Sustainability Team is working with City staff, community partners and residents to refresh the Plan. An updated CNP will be presented to City Council in early 2026.

The 2025-2026 update will make the Carbon Neutrality Plan (CNP) more current, accessible, and usable. We aim to emphasize how the CNP can impact community resilience and equity.

This update will change:

  • How we implement the CNP: we'll edit the implementation actions which are used to achieve the CNP's goals.
  • How the CNP is organized.
  • How the CNP is used by the community.

This update will not change:

  • The CNP's three overarching goals, to achieve carbon Neutrality, prepare for changing conditions, and improve community equity.
  • The strategies within each target area of the CNP.
