Dear Neighbors,
As we have come to a close in 2025, the Committee on Environmental Protection and Energy (EPE) wanted to take some time and reflect on all the great engagement that went on this year! Check out the Table of Contents below to hear directly from EPE staff and see anĀ overview of our work.
We are beyond inspired by the resilience and leadership that communities across the city have shown our neighbors. In this New Year, EPE hopes to continue to engage with our Environmental Justice (EJ) leaders and create connections between EJ groups across the city. Here's to 2026!
In Solidarity,Ā
Team EPE
