Bloomington residents are invited to share their experiences, concerns, and ideas related to climate change in an online community survey
The survey is an important early step in a new initiative being undertaken by the City of Bloomington to improve resilience to climate hazards, an action identified by the community within the Sustainability Action Plan as a priority focus for 2020 climate action
Bloomington already experiences climate effects, including more high heat days and more frequent precipitation and flooding events. Climate modeling by Indiana University’s Environmental Resilience Institute for Bloomington shows how low-income households already experience a greater incidence of heat-related illness and are more likely to live in areas in Bloomington more susceptible to flooding.
