‘Climate and conversation’ with the Woodland League of Women Voters set for Sept. 21 - Daily Democrat

A review of Yolo County’s 2030 Climate Action and Adaptation Plan will be hosted by the League of Women Voters of Woodland as part of a “Climate and Conversation” event. The meeting is set for 7 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 21, at Norton Hall, 70 Cottonwood St.

Kristen Wraithwall, Yolo County’s sustainability manager since 2022, will present information on the 2030 Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP).

The CAAP serves as a comprehensive road map identifying opportunities to achieve reductions in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, as well as develop comprehensive strategies to respond to the growing effects of climate change on all people, industries and areas of Yolo County.

Wraithwall, who holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Harvard in Environmental Science and Public Policy and a Master of Science from Yale in Environmental Management, will discuss the CAAP process and timeline, its current survey, outreach efforts (especially to historically underserved communities), and regional collaborations and partnerships in California.

This event is free to the public and light refreshments will be available. Donations are appreciated, however, to make more programs like this possible.

Seating at Norton Hall is limited, so attendees are urged to send an email to woodlandleaguenews@gmail.com if they plan to attend and the size of their party.

More information about the CAAP is available at https://www.yolocaap.org/.
