The Missoula City Council convened on September 22, 2025, to address several key agenda items, beginning with a proclamation for Climate Solutions Week. The meeting commenced with a special presentation, highlighting the urgent need to combat climate change and promote sustainable practices within the community.

The proclamation emphasized the significant impacts of human-caused climate change, including extreme weather patterns and the necessity for immediate action to reduce fossil fuel pollution. It outlined the commitment of Missoula County and the city of Missoula to implement the Climate Ready Missoula plan, which aims to achieve 100% clean electricity in the urban area by 2030. The proclamation also introduced the joint Electrify Missoula campaign in collaboration with Climate Smart Missoula.

Council members acknowledged the importance of community involvement in addressing climate issues, urging residents and businesses to participate actively. The proclamation declared September 27 through October 5 as Climate Solutions Week, which will commence with Climate Fest at Karis Park. This event aims to educate and energize the community regarding climate solutions.

Amy Sullenberg from Climate Smart Missoula addressed the council, expressing gratitude for the proclamation and inviting the public to engage in the week’s activities, which will feature numerous free events. She highlighted the collaborative efforts of various groups to make this year’s Climate Solutions Week a success.

Following the proclamation, the meeting transitioned to the next agenda item, which included a public hearing. The council's discussions underscored a collective commitment to addressing climate change and fostering a sustainable future for Missoula.
