Climate planning resources available in multiple languages

Commerce has interpreted its most recent climate element webinar into eight languages: Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Pashto, Khmer, Nepali and Farsi. The webinar — part of the agency’s Periodic Update workshop series — was recorded for jurisdictions now updating their comprehensive plan.

Commerce’s intermediate climate element planning guidance is also translated into the same eight languages and available on the Climate Planning webpage. These materials aim to make Commerce’s climate planning materials more accessible and support efforts to engage overburdened communities and vulnerable populations in local planning.
