Ad Hoc Sustainability and Resilience Committee 06-10-2026

The City of Norwalk Connecticut's Ad Hoc Sustainability and Resilience Committee met on June 10, 2026, to discuss updates on sustainability initiatives and the city's climate action planning. Key procurement-related topics included the ongoing development and implementation of a greenhouse gas emissions tracking software supported by ICLEI, which will be used to monitor the city's progress toward net zero emissions by 2050. The committee also reviewed the HeatSmart weatherization program and Solarize Norwalk solar initiatives, highlighting participation numbers and funding availability, including rebates and new financing options for solar installations. Discussions addressed the need for continued administrative support and funding to maintain these programs and the emissions tracking system, as well as considerations for making the committee permanent to ensure ongoing oversight and community engagement. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were detailed, but the extension of the contract for the sustainability coordinator through December 2026 was noted, indicating continued investment in these efforts.
