Climate Action Plans show communities how to reduce their carbon footprint

A Climate Action Plan compiles existing and potential strategies that a local government and the community at large can take to address climate change. A Climate Action Plan typically contains these elements:

A community-wide greenhouse gas emissions inventory and a “business-as-usual” forecast.
A greenhouse gas reduction target consistent with AB 32 and SB 32.
Local and state policies and actions that may impact greenhouse gas emissions within the city or town.
Quantification of greenhouse gas reduction measures demonstrating that, if fully implemented, the greenhouse gas reduction target will be met.
