Climate Action Planning
In 2022, the Town of Kennebunk began working together in a four town cohort including Kennebunkport, Kittery and Biddeford, along with Southern Maine Planning and Development Commission to create a local Climate Action Plan for our community. Kennebunk appointed a Climate Action Plan Task Force.
Resource and planning documents have been developed and are being used in combination with a public outreach and engagement effort to identify priority areas, develop goals, policies and strategies to address these priorities that are supported by the residents of Kennebunk.

- Kennebunk Vulnerability Assessment - Draft
- Green House Gas Emissions Summary for Kennebunk
- Municipal Green House Gas Inventory for Kennebunk
This draft vulnerability assessment summary presents an overview of climate hazards and associated impacts and vulnerabilities for the Kennebunk community.
The baseline GHG inventory identifies the major sources of emissions in Kennebunk, enabling the Town to identify areas to focus emissions reduction efforts, establish goals and track progress towards those goals, as well as facilitate decision making about future policies and strategies.
The municipal inventory encompasses the 2016, 2017, and 2018 calendar years and was created by mostly following guidelines set by the ICLEI Local Government Operations Protocol.
