Strategic Climate Action Plan
Departments, leaders, cities, community groups and residents across King County collaborated on an action plan to make King County more resilient, sustainable and equitable.
The plan is revised every year to reflect new data and chart progress. We are currently working on the next update, with publication expected in mid-2025.
Our changing climate
King County is already experiencing the impacts of climate change, and departments across the organization are working to prepare for and mitigate those impacts – from sea level rise and increases in storm intensity to hotter summers and a decrease in average snowpack.
