By Doug Fraser Cape Cod Times BARNSTABLE Back in 2018, local environmental activists were dismayed at proposed Cape Cod Commission updates to the Regional Policy Plan addressing climate change, saying they lacked the specificity and sense of urgency needed to address the most pressing issue of our time. Responding to a citizens’ petition, the commission last summer created a subcommittee with an ambitious agenda: Meet for six months and return with a better suite of amendments to the regional plan. Amendments unanimously approved Last week, those changes were unveiled to the Barnstable County Assembly of Delegates. The amendments included objectives addressing coastal resiliency; addressing low-carbon emission strategies in the transportation and housing sectors; strengthening the role of climate change planning; and supporting infrastructure that reduces reliance on fossil fuels.
