The Portland City Council Monday approved a climate plan that sets out a series of strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, invest in renewable energy and help curb sea level rise and other impacts of climate change. The overall goal of the One Climate Future plan, which was approved by the South Portland City Council Oct. 13, is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent by 2050, if not sooner, and transition to 100 percent clean energy for municipal operations by 2040.
