Press release from the City Of Davis:

April 15, 2021 2:36 pm

The City of Davis announced today that it will hold its first Climate Action and Adaptation Plan Virtual Workshop on Thursday, April 22, at 6:30 p.m. The Zoom meeting link is: https://zoom.us/j/94281640401

“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.”
