Climate Action
Step up to address the urgent climate crisis with strategic, equitable, and actionable plans.
We are facing climate emergencies, and the time to act is now.
We are ready to support you in the process. Our dedicated team at RRS is committed to creating impactful Climate Action Plans (CAPs) that transcend local boundaries. Whether you represent a community or an organization, our approach is tailored to your unique context.
WE BRING DECADES OF EXPERIENCE IN CIRCULAR ECONOMY SYSTEMS THINKING TO CLIMATE ACTION pLANS.
We have extensive expertise supporting communities as you explore and implement sustainability goals. Climate change and community resilience is one area of sustainability where we have direct and growing expertise. Many of the RRS staff come with public sector work experience in recycling, public works, and sustainability departments where they were directly involved in climate planning and bring that expertise to client projects.

We work with you and community stakeholders to build actionable plans to address climate challenges.
We help you build goals that are ambitious and practical, paving the way for carbon neutrality within a reasonable and actionable timeframe. Our CAP process includes mitigation and adaptation strategies to address reducing emissions and preparing for climate impacts.
Equity guides every step of our process. Our planning efforts prioritize social justice and community well-being. Climate change is dynamic, so we design our plans to be adaptable, incorporating best practices from across the Midwest and North America. Yet, we know how important it is to combine these best practices with intimate local insights to understand the nuances of each community, including all relevant sectors, industries, and activities in our CAPs.
When communicating with the public, infographics, photos, and resident quotes can help the community understand and support final plans. Our plans speak to residents, community partners, and staff to inspire equitable action.
