Creation of a Climate Equity Council was one of the strategy action items in the city's Climate Action and Adaptation Plan that was released in April 2022.
The plan states, "Create a Climate Equity Council composed of and led by Medford residents from frontline communities, namely low-income communities and Black, Indigenous, and communities of color, with the acknowledgment that due to long-standing structural inequities, frontline communities are most likely to experience the first and worst effects of climate change. Medford has long had an Energy and Environment Committee that provides the City with technical expertise on specific energy and environmental topics. The Climate Equity Council will bring additional and critical lived expertise to advise the ongoing development and implementation of equitable climate mitigation and adaptation programs and policies in Medford."
