Building on the 2012 Strategic Energy Action Plan, the 2019 Carbon Reduction Recommendations, and the success of the "Count Me in, Cary" community engagement campaign, staff developed Cary's Sustainability and Climate Action Strategy. These stewardship strategies define visions, goals, strategies, and actions within six key focus areas of everyday life, which are Energy, Transportation & Mobility, Water Infrastructure, Natural Resources, Solid Waste, and Community. These strategies were approved by Town Council in spring 2025 and help track Cary's community and municipal operations toward emissions reduction targets.
