2025
In 2025, the LCRPC Interprets! newsletter will be highlighting the 2024 update to the Maine State Climate Action Plan, Maine Won't Wait. The updated Maine Won’t Wait plan builds on Maine’s progress and recommends commonsense strategies to advance the state’s work in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, achieving carbon neutrality, strengthening Maine’s resilience to the impacts of climate change, and growing Maine’s economy through new good-paying, green jobs.
2024
This year's climate topic will be focused on hazard mitigation, including highlighting resources in the State and Lincoln County. Monthly topics will include looking at the types of hazards in Lincoln County (flooding, summer storms, winter storms, drought, wildfire, for example) and ways to mitigate the impacts from these events.
2022
New for 2022, the newsletter will feature a different climate change topic each month and the effect on human life and the environment. Topics range from building and construction, ocean and fresh water, and safety and preparedness. Readers will enjoy segments such as ‘Climate Change and YOU’ which showcases practices and behaviors individuals can undertake to address, mitigate, and adapt to climate change; native landscaping, healthy travel, and energy reduction for example.
2021
The Lincoln County Regional Planning Commission is preparing a monthly email series titled LCRPC Interprets: ‘Maine Won’t Wait’ Climate Action Plan. The goal of the series is to educate and distill information by providing short, easily digestible summaries of ‘Maine Won’t Wait: A Four-Year Plan for Climate Action.’ Each month will be focused on a specific strategy identified in the Action Plan. The intended audience will be town officials, interested residents, and non-profits + organizations in the area who are stakeholders in planning, land use, and climate change work.
