Irvine’s Draft Climate Action & Adaptation Plan is available to view!
The City of Irvine has developed a Final Draft Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP) to address the challenges posed by climate change and create a sustainable and resilient future for all community members.
In 2021, the City of Irvine embarked on developing its first CAAP. The CAAP will set ambitious but achievable emissions reduction targets for the City and lays out a pathway to achieving our climate goals across both municipal operations and our community. Through thoughtfully planned greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction and climate adaptation measures, the CAAP will build upon Irvine’s previous steps towards climate leadership in Orange County to create a truly climate-smart City for the future.
The Irvine CAAP seeks to:
- Guide the City on the implementation of measurable actions to meet or exceed the State’s GHG reduction targets and carbon neutrality goal, as well as the City’s ambitious zero-carbon goals.
- This plan sets ambitious but achievable goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, prepare for climate impacts, and create a sustainable, resilient future for all who live, work, and visit Irvine.
- Emphasize climate goals for the community, establishing an aspirational and achievable path that provides options to realize aggressive emissions reduction targets by 2030, 2035, and 2045.
