Referral History:
At the January 25, 2021, Sustainability Committee meeting, the Sustainabilty Coordinator informed the Committee that the update to the County's 2015 Climate Action Plan (CAP) is being extended to 2022 in conjunction with the update to the County's General Plan. Sustainability staff are working on a number of projects and initiatives that support the County's climate action goals, both as articulated in the CAP, in the draft goals and strategies developed in 2019, and in the September 2020 Climate Emergency Resolution. Staff proposed that while they develop the larger, longer term goals and strategies for the CAP update, they also focus CAP activity on an interim set of climate actions to be achieved over the next 18 months. The Committee agreed with this course of action.
Referral Update:
The attached Interim CAP Work Plan presents the climate actions staff will focus on until the updated CAP is adopted in 2022. These are the items on which staff will report in the annual CAP Progress Report. This Interim CAP Work Plan has been reviewed by lead departments.
