Yolo County seeking public participation in updating Climate Action Plan - Daily Democrat

The Yolo County Sustainability Program is seeking public input on the Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP) update.

In 2020, the Yolo County Board of Supervisors set the goal of meeting a carbon-negative footprint—removing more carbon from the atmosphere than the county produces—by 2030 with a focus on equity and justice. The Climate Action and Adaptation Plan will be a comprehensive roadmap for what Yolo County will do to meet its greenhouse gas reduction goal and help the community be more resilient to the impacts of climate change. When completed, Yolo County’s CAAP will be the most ambitious in the country, positioning Yolo County as a national leader in community-driven climate action and adaptation planning.

Filling out the CAAP survey will help county officials design future programs, policies and other recommendations for how the county can lower emissions, protect our natural resources and make sure that Yolo County is a thriving, sustainable community for generations to come.

Community members are encouraged to provide input by Sept. 22, 2023. The survey is available in English, Spanish and Russian:

- For the survey in English, please visit: www.YoloCounty.org/CAAPEN
- For the survey in Spanish, please visit: www.YoloCounty.org/CAAPES
- For the survey in Russian, please visit: www.YoloCounty.org/CAAPRU

The results of this survey will inform a series of community roundtables to take place this fall. Meeting dates and times will be shared this September.
