MEDIA ADVISORY: DEEP to host meeting of Governor’s Council on Climate Change, share latest data on greenhouse gases in Connecticut
(HARTFORD) — Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) will host a virtual meeting of the Governor’s Council on Climate Change (GC3) on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at 2:00 p.m., where DEEP officials will share the latest Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory for Connecticut, among other highlights.
On September 3, 2019, Governor Ned Lamont issued Executive Order No. 3, establishing the GC3 to strengthen Connecticut’s commitment to transition to a decarbonized economy and enhanced resiliency to the impacts of climate change. The GC3 is charged with monitoring and reporting on the state’s progress on the implementation of climate mitigation and adaptation strategies annually.
At this meeting, DEEP will share the results of the GHG inventory through the year 2024, the most recent year for which data is available. The inventory serves as an annual public and transparent accounting of our progress towards the state’s statutory emissions reduction targets and informs programs to reduce emissions. The meeting will also provide highlights of the state’s progress on climate adaptation and resilience strategies. Following the presentation, there will be a discussion with GC3 members to share updates and feedback on the state’s progress on climate, and to hear public comments.
