City Of Palo Alto: New Ad Hoc Committee Advances Council's Climate Action Planning

Press release from the City of Palo Alto:

August 20, 2021

In early 2020, the City of Palo Alto launched an update to the Sustainability and Climate Action Plan (S/CAP) to develop the strategies needed to meet our goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 80% by 2030 and other community-wide sustainability goals. On April 19, 2021, a Sustainability and Climate Action Plan Ad Hoc Committee was formed by the City Council to engage with community stakeholders, domain experts, and activists and complement existing efforts on this important priority. The new ad hoc committee, which meets monthly on the second Thursday at 9 a.m., will help guide the development, implementation, communication, and future community engagement of the S/CAP process. This work will support finalizing the development of the S/CAP update, which is slated for Council adoption in early 2022.
