The Windsor Park Neighborhood Association (WPNA) has formed a [climate crisis committee](http://www.windsorpark.info/climate-crisis-committee) to share information and take action on climate change at the neighborhood, city, and state level.

The committee recently drafted a [climate change and global warming resolution](http://www.windsorpark.info/climate-change-and-global-warming-resolution) and is asking neighbors, city, state, and national policy makers, and allied groups for feedback and potential support.

At the city and regional level, the resolution calls for:

- Reform the land use code to slow the rate of growth of urban sprawl, taking into consideration the concerns of neighborhoods;
- Reduce single-occupancy trips via radical improvement to public transit system ridership capacity and utilization;
- Fully fund the Austin Bicycle & Sidewalk Master Plans;
- Subsidize and incentivize electric-powered vehicle access;
- Promote generous telecommute policies and universal high speed internet access;
- Adopt a 2030 goal of 100% net-zero carbon emissions from city-controlled generation;
- Mitigate and manage the long-term adverse health, economic, and other effects of pollution and climate change.

Many of these bullet points align with FAN’s vision and adopted positions. Read the full resolution [here](http://www.windsorpark.info/climate-change-and-global-warming-resolution).

Please feel free to reply in this thread with any questions or comments. I think we should consider supporting this resolution, perhaps accompanied with our own statement emphasizing the need to adopt the [land use reforms that FAN members previously voted to support](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1a0k4sAN445M2pUQg0D6mGQakZ4G4tT6knELpAG9FAeQ/edit?usp=sharing).
