Climate Action Plan Update

The City has begun the process of updating the 2017 Climate Action Plan, which is anticipated to take the remainder of this year to prepare and finalize. After completion of the public outreach process (described below), the Draft Update document is expected to be completed and available by the 1st Quarter 2025.

Climate Action Plan

What is the “Climate Action Plan”?

The 2017 Climate Action Plan is designed to reinforce the City’s commitment to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and demonstrate how the City will comply with State of California’s GHG emission reduction standards. As a Qualified GHG Reduction Strategy, the CAP will also enable streamlined environmental review of future development projects, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

The Climate Action Plan (CAP) includes the following elements:

  • An inventory of the City’s GHG emissions;
  • Forecasts of future GHG emissions within the City;
  • Monitoring and reporting processes to ensure State targets are met; and
  • Options for reducing GHG emissions beyond State requirements that could be adopted at a future date, if so needed or desired.

The 2017 CAP was prepared concurrently with the City of Redlands 2035 General Plan (adopted in December 2017), and the CAP provides analysis of GHG emissions to the year 2035, which is also the horizon year for the General Plan.

Since more than five years have passed since the adoption of the 2017 CAP, the document is due for a progress report and updating to reflect current implementation (as well as incorporate new more stringent State goals for further GHG reduction). The monitoring report will include information on the status of the federal and State level emissions reductions measures identified in Chapter 3 of the CAP, as well as any new efforts or updated policies that may emerge.
