Climate Action Plan

In response to the climate emergency, the County is developing a Climate Action Plan (CAP) Update to implement bold climate actions that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The CAP outlines measures that include actions the County will take to reduce emissions to meet State targets and achieve a goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2045. The CAP and associated goals apply to the unincorporated areas of the county and County operations.

CAP measures will also provide important benefits to the environment and our residents. Benefits may include preserving the environment, reducing health disparities, increasing access to green careers, improving quality of life, and advancing environmental and social justice. Community input has been vital to the County's efforts to develop the CAP to date.
