City of Glendale Announces Community Workshop for the City’s First Climate Action & Adaptation Plan
Glendale, CA – The City of Glendale’s Office of Sustainability has recently launched a series of community workshops for the Climate Action & Adaptation Plan (CAAP). A CAAP is a comprehensive strategy developed to address the challenges posed by climate change, such as extreme weather events like heatwaves and wildfires. It consists of a set of actions, policies, and measures to mitigate the causes of climate change and adapting to its impacts. The City of Glendale is committed to addressing climate change and building resilience. On November 9, 2010, the City adopted a resolution to address sustainability and climate change by using sustainability to guide policy. The CAAP is a data-driven, community-informed plan to develop a road map to boost community resilience to extreme weather, improve air quality, and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the City.
Community workshops are launched as part of a series of outreach campaigns to gather community input on priorities and needs relating to resiliency and climate change effects. Workshops will be held virtually and in community spaces throughout the City.
The Glendale CAAP workshop schedule is:
