The Climate Action & Adaptation Plan for the City of St. Louis emanates from the City of St. Louis Sustainability Plan and Mayor Slay’s Sustainability Action Agenda. The City of St. Louis Sustainability Plan was formally adopted by the City Planning Commission in January 2013. In February 2013, Mayor Francis G. Slay announced his Mayor’s Sustainability Action Agenda. It contains 29 priority sustainability initiatives for implementation by 2018. Included within the Action Agenda was a priority to support Citywide greenhouse gas emissions reductions of 25% by 2020 and 80% by 2050.
