The plan highlights the need for action to reduce emissions while also explaining the scale of the challenges faced due to climate change.
Therefore, the consultation - which runs until 12pm on Tuesday 31 December - offers residents, businesses, community groups and other key partners the opportunity to express their views and provide information that will help tackle these challenges and identify where the Council and wider district needs to focus on.
The feedback received will be used to amend the plan, where necessary, before it is presented to councillors for final approval.

"This plan is designed to help us begin our journey, but it will continue to be developed to keep pace with shifts across society, technology and wider policy, including the changing needs of communities, groups and organisations within Mid Ulster," said Mid Ulster District Council Chair, Councillor Eugene McConnell.
"The plan sets out the ambitious and realistic actions that we can work towards achieving by 2028. We know that we cannot solve these enormous challenges on our own, which is why we are asking for views on our approach, providing an opportunity to review and comment on the plan."
He added: "I encourage residents to actively engage in the consultation."
The draft plan contains several priority action areas, including: Community leadership, resource efficiency, sustainable transport; natural environment, and green growth.
A number of ambitious goals have been set including reducing the Council's operational emissions to Net Zero by 2050 with an interim target of a 20% reduction by 2028.
