Climate Action

Climate change presents an unprecedented challenge to our environment and way of life.

Over the past decade, the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission has developed plans that address our changing climate via policies and actions. These plans promote principles of smart growth, economic savings, natural resource protection and sustainability that further reinforce climate change mitigation.

The Greater Lehigh Valley Regional Climate Action Plan

 The LVPC, along with Carbon and Warren Counties, are currently developing the Greater Lehigh Valley Regional Climate Action Plan, or RCAP, which incorporates both the PCAP and GHG inventory and will cover all emission sectors including industrial, commercial, residential, water/wastewater/solid waste and agricultural. 


Join us for a WorkshopLV: Environment at the LVPC offices, contact the team via our comment box, and participate in our brief survey. These outreach efforts will help us prioritize approaches and projects to help our region reduce pollution sources, while continue to grow and prosper.   


Meeting materials for each of the workshops can be found below.

The cover for the 2024 Greater Lehigh Valley Greenhouse Gas Inventory.

2024 Greater Lehigh Valley Greenhouse Gas Inventory

The Greater Lehigh Valley Greenhouse Gas Inventory is designed to measure the amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and where they originate, so that a plan can be designed to reduce them. Reducing the carbon footprint will be particularly important in a region that be 2050 is projected to have 37 days a year with temperatures exceeding 90 degrees.


This report shows communitywide emissions by sector for Lehigh and Northampton Counties, Carbon County, PA and Warren County, NJ. The data shows why it is important to begin mitigation measures immediately.
