The Irvine Climate Action & Adaptation Plan (CAAP) should be reflective of the priorities and values of the Irvine community. Therefore, gaining input from stakeholders throughout the process is a key part of CAAP development. We encourage all Irvine residents and businesses to engage in this critical effort for the planet and conserve Irvine for future generations. Please see the opportunities below to get involved. Check back here for updates.
Upcoming Events
Irvine Business Complex CAAP Outreach Workshop
Monday, October 21, 6–7 p.m., Irvine City Hall — CTC
Residents who live in or near the Irvine Business Complex are invited to engage with City staff on the CAAP. Learn about the plan’s goals and provide feedback on how to prioritize the CAAP’s established measures. This community workshop is free and open to the public.
For more information on all City of Irvine Environmental Program events, visit the Workshops and Webinars page.
Mobile Workshops
City staff will be attending events throughout the community to provide information about the CAAP and allow additional opportunities for residents to share their input. If you would like staff to present to your organization or event, please reach out to environmentalprograms@cityofirvine.org with any questions or to learn more.
Equity
Procedural equity focuses on increasing opportunities for engagement and ownership in decision-making, in all aspects of climate action planning, by the communities that will be disproportionately impacted and most vulnerable to climate change. Equity is a key component of our outreach process, so we are taking steps to ensure we engage with hard-to-reach groups in Irvine. We are connecting with community groups to target communities that are under-represented and may not have been contacted through our general outreach. Additionally, we will offer materials in other languages as we coordinate with groups that may need that option.
Please reach out to environmentalprograms@cityofirvine.org with any questions about our CAAP outreach effort or to learn more.
Cool Irvine Program
The CAAP provides a pathway to reduce the City’s municipal and community emissions. In order to achieve our climate goals, taking steps to reduce emissions in our day-to-day lives remains a key component. To this end, we have launched the Cool Block Program to empower residents to take climate action through neighborhood education on environmental issues and Cool Block teams that pledge meaningful actions to reduce household emissions.
To learn about how you can take steps towards climate action today and be a Cool Block leader in your community, or simply to learn more about the program, please visit the Cool Irvine website.
