As cities expand and skylines rise, we must prioritize green spaces, renewable energy, and eco-friendly designs to create a harmonious balance between progress and preservation. Together, we can build a future where urban growth and environmental conservation go hand in hand. 🌿🏙️ #WorldEnvironmentDay #SustainableDevelopment #UrbanPlanning #EcoFriendly #GreenCities

Supporting the development of renewable energy projects, promoting a circular economy and reducing carbon emissions are amongst the key targets set out in the newly launched Galway County Council Climate Action Plan 2024-2029. Considered a significant milestone in Galway County Council’s commitment to climate action, the five-year strategy has been developed following extensive consultation across the County over the past 18 months. The Plan’s vision around climate action in the areas of energy, built environment, transport, circular economy and land use is driven by individual actions, including a commitment by Galway County Council to reduce its emissions by 51% by 2030 and a policy to ensure new public housing and buildings incorporate the principles of climate action in terms of design, services and amenities. Other actions include increasing investment in active travel facilities, encouraging local businesses to reduce waste and use sustainable packaging, supporting the retrofit of community buildings, introducing public water refill stations, and implementing and promoting sustainable land use practices to protect biodiversity and combat climate change.

Some of Ann Arbor's streetlights can be distractingly bright. #AnnArbor plans to replace its streetlights with 58-watt LED bulbs as part of its broader #A2Zero Climate Action Plan, which aims to reduce the city's carbon footprint and transition to renewable energy by 2030. Supported by a grant aimed at carbon reduction, the project is intended to improve energy efficiency by lowering operating costs and reducing the city's reliance on older, less sustainable lighting technology. Despite the environmental benefits, residents have raised concerns about the brightness of these new LEDs, particularly in residential areas. Many feel that the lights are too intense, leading to excessive light spillover into homes, disrupting sleep, and affecting local wildlife. These concerns highlight a growing tension between energy efficiency and the impact of artificial lighting on both human residents and nocturnal animals, such as insects. 89.1 WEMU-FM's David Fair talked with Ann Arbor City Council member Dharma Akmon about how the city can move forward while addressing sustainability and accommodating public concern. https://lnkd.in/ewA7E5NF
