Green Cincinnati

Cincinnatians can help slow climate change by modifying the way they power their homes. A city initiative aims to provide residents with information they need to do so.

Projects funded by the grants support the Green Cincinnati Plan’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.

The 100 megawatt solar array in Highland County has been years in the making. It came fully online May 1.

The Seeds of Change program is for community-initiated projects that support sustainability, equity, and climate resilience.

More than $8 million in grants is headed to Cincinnati to support climate change response and sustainability initiatives.

The million dollar grant is part of the Inflation Reduction Act and there are several recipients, including the city of Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Green Umbrella, and the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments.

The updated plan is part of the city’s commitment to reduce carbon emissions by 50% and reach 100% carbon neutrality by 2050

Cincinnati officials promised to only buy electric vehicles for the city fleet, as long as that option was available. Nearly a year later, every purchase attempt has been backordered or canceled thanks to supply chain and workforce challenges.

Cincinnati officials want to hear from residents about the first draft of the 2023 Green Cincinnati Plan.

The 2018 Green Cincinnati Plan sets a goal to reduce carbon emissions 80% by 2050. The next version of the plan will likely be more ambitious: carbon neutrality by 2050, with a 50% reduction by 2030.
