Climate Action and Resiliency Plan (CARP)

2024-25 Plan Update

We are conducting a mid-cycle update of CARP. The update will include a greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory and serve as a mid-cycle update and blueprint for the next phase of the City's climate work from 2025-2030 with a focus on implementation steps needed to address the remaining tasks before 2030 and achieve net zero emissions. See more about the CARP update below.

About CARP

Through adoption of its award-winning Climate Action and Resiliency Plan in 2019, Alameda has set an ambitious goal of reducing emissions by 50% below 2005 levels by 2030 and becoming carbon neutral as soon as possible. The CARP charts a course to achieve this goal through equitable improvements to transportation, buildings, energy use, and waste management. As a low-lying island city threatened by rising seas and increasing extreme heat and smoke days, we need to act boldly to keep Alameda safe for current and future generations. If we are successful, we will reduce Alameda's greenhouse gas emissions, increase quality of life on the island, and build a resilient, thriving city.
