Event Date
The City of Davis is currently revising its Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP) and is holding their first meeting for community input this Thursday (Earth Day) April 22 at 6:30 pm. The Zoom meeting link is: https://zoom.us/j/94281640401.
Whether you live or work in Davis, if you want to be involved in or informed of the steps the city is taking to reduce emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change, this meeting is a great place to start.
“We need to hear from the community on this critical community issue,” said Mayor Gloria Partida. “Climate change, which disproportionately affects the most vulnerable people, touches so many aspects of our lives – public health, employment, agriculture, housing, regional planning and transportation just to name a few.”
The 2020 Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP) Update supports City Council actions to assess greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction progress made since the 2010 CAAP adoption, identify physical and social vulnerabilities, establish and prioritize climate action and carbon reduction policies toward carbon neutrality, and bring the City into compliance with current state legislation.
In March 2019, Council adopted the Resolution Declaring a Climate Emergency and Proposing Mobilization Efforts to Restore a Safe Climate that states that “the City of Davis commits to taking significant action to move toward net municipal and community carbon neutrality in the short term with maximum efforts to implement carbon reduction actions by 2030; and accelerate the existing 2050 Davis carbon neutrality goal to a 2040 target.”
