Vision Green 2050 is a climate pollution reduction plan being developed by the Capital Region Planning Commission for the Baton Rouge MSA.  The plan will help support future projects and funding applications to improve transportation infrastructure, retrofit buildings to make them more energy efficient, and build a more self-sufficient and less wasteful energy system.

Many different types of actions can be taken to reduce climate pollution, such as:

● Providing low-interest loans for energy retrofits
● Developing microgrids that can maintain utility service when the main grid has an outage
● Expanding active transportation infrastructure
● Creating new training and employment programs for clean energy jobs
● Restoring wetlands and natural spaces
● Switching to clean energy sources
