Connecticut Climate Action Plan (CAP)
DEEP is developing a Climate Action Plan (CAP) to assess potential pathways for Connecticut to meet its economy-wide greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction goals through 2050. The CAP will serve as a roadmap, outlining specific measures and implementation actions that Connecticut can pursue to achieve its emission reduction goals, provide cost savings, and increase community resilience.
Climate Action Plan Survey
Take the Climate Action Plan Survey to provide DEEP with your climate priorities. We anticipate releasing additional information regarding the development of the CAP throughout the winter and spring. If you would like to provide additional survey response(s) and/or additional comment(s) once new information becomes available, the survey and public comment will remain open. Please send your written comments to deep.climatechange@ct.gov.
Please note that if you do not submit the survey after you have completed it, your response(s) will not be saved. If you would like to view the survey questions ahead of time to record your answers, please see the PDF version of the survey below.

CAP Sector Profiles
The CAP Sector Profiles provide an overview of each sector's historical and projected greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions under a business-as-usual scenario, the GHG reduction measures identified for each sector, and example implementation actions for each measure. The action presented are illustrative and remain under development. They do not constitute formal recommendations from DEEP.
- A GHG reduction measure is a specific, tangible initiative to reduce emissions.
- An implementation action is an activity to implement a measure and realize the associated emission reduction and benefits.

Regional Climate Action Plans
In addition to the State, three of Connecticut's Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) also received funding to develop Comprehensive Climate Action Plans (posted below). Additional plans from the Mohegan Tribe, the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, and the Worcester, Massachusetts MSA (which includes part of northeastern Connecticut) will also be posted here once they become available. All of their Priority Climate Action Plans can be found on EPA's website.
