Climate Action & Adaptation Plan (CAAP)
The Climate Action & Adaptation Plan (CAAP) is a key element of the City’s longstanding efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change effects. Building on a multi-year effort that broadly engaged the Sacramento community, the City is finalizing the CAAP, in tandem with the 2040 General Plan. The City is grateful for the broad input the community provided, which informed the final form of each document. City staff have prepared hearing drafts, which will be presented to City Council for recommendation for adoption on February 27, 2024. Visit the project website to learn more.
All-Electric Standards for New Buildings
On January 1, 2023, all-electric standards for new buildings 1 – 3 stories commence, pursuant to the City’s New Building Electrification Ordinance. Learn more.
Pilot coming soon
The Office of Climate Action & Sustainability is preparing to launch a pilot program, informed by community input and supported by a one-time funding allocation from the Sacramento City Council. Watch a presentation on the pilot proposal (passcode: UgTL*3Ln) or view the slides.
