In 2008, the Westchester Global Warming Task Force presented its comprehensive Action Plan calling for an aggressive reduction goal for greenhouse gas emissions by all sectors of the community: a 20 percent reduction by 2015 and an 80 percent reduction by 2050. Read the plan to learn what you can do to contribute. Governments, businesses, K-12 and higher education institutions all have a part to play in this critical initiative. We encourage all Westchester residents to use the resources assembled here to take action on this critical issue.  | County Government The county is committed to working with all sectors of the community on achieving GHG reduction goals. Use the interactive Global Warming Action Plan to learn what you can do today to reduce your carbon footprint and promote sustainability.
