~ Tacoma, Washington - The City of Tacoma has released its second annual Climate Action Plan Progress Report, showcasing the city's efforts in implementing the actions and targets outlined in the 2030 Climate Action Plan. The report, which is now available to the public, highlights success stories, progress ratings, and status updates for each action, target metrics, and other climate-focused plans.

According to Mayor Victoria Woodards, "Truly moving the needle on climate change requires leadership at all levels of government globally and, locally in Tacoma, we are doing our part as a city to ensure a better tomorrow for our residents." She also emphasized the importance of working with local, state, and federal partners in ongoing efforts to prioritize the health and well-being of community members through numerous sustainability initiatives.
