In-Person Public Meetings
In-person public meetings took place across the state in January and February 2024 to consider greenhouse gas emission reduction measures that could be included in Nebraska’s Priority Climate Action Plan. The meetings included a short presentation about the Climate Pollution Reduction Grant program, the measures suggested to NDEE and discussed in virtual workgroup sessions held earlier this winter, and the priority measures identified thus far.

NDEE solicited feedback from the public on the proposed measures for inclusion in the state’s Priority Climate Action Plan and Comprehensive Climate Action Plan.
The public meeting schedule was as follows:

Stakeholder Workgroup Meeting Sessions

Stakeholder working group sessions for the Priority Climate Action Plan were conducted online via Zoom to facilitate participation across the state. Two sessions were held for each working group. NDEE encouraged stakeholders in each working group to attend both sessions to assist the Department in developing effective and practical greenhouse gas reduction measures. The first session presented example measures and provided stakeholders the opportunity to discuss these and propose alternate measures. The second session aimed to refine the scope and scale of individual measures and finalize a list of potential measures for the sector.

Kickoff Webinar
NDEE presented a public webinar on Tuesday, Oct. 17, 2023, to provide an overview of the program, current Nebraska greenhouse gas emissions, the elements the plans are required to cover, and information about implementation grants. As starting points for public discussion in later stakeholder working group sessions, the presentation proposed some potential GHG reduction measures that could be implemented in each sector.
