Sonoma County - Community Climate Action Plan
« Return to List of Projects
The Community Climate Action Plan is the third step in a five-step program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions throughout all of Sonoma County. The program is being followed by all nine Sonoma cities, the County, and the Water Agency.
- The first step, completed by the Climate Protection Campaign in 2005, was an inventory of Sonoma County's greenhouse gas emissions.
- Step two was to set a greenhouse gas emissions reduction target. In 2005, Sonoma County and the nine cities within it adopted the country's boldest target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions: 25% below 1990 levels by 2015.
- Step three is the Community Climate Action Plan, the blueprint to help Sonoma County achieve this emissions target.
- Step four will be the implementation of actions in the Community Climate Action Plan.
- Step five will be an on-going monitoring process to ensure we meet our reduction target.
