The City has released a working draft of the Climate and Adaptation Plan (CAAP). The draft was showcased to the public at the LB ClimateFest this past Saturday, June 1
st
and is now available online for public review and comment.
This draft includes the mitigation and adaptations included in the plan, along with some of the supporting information such as the CAAP overview, greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories, and GHG reduction target. The GHG inventory includes a supplemental research memo on oil and gas extraction in Long Beach.
Supplemental technical information will be included as technical appendices to the CAAP. These assessments and analyses include: a Long Beach specific summary of current and future GHG emissions, GHG reduction target options, local climate harzards and sectoral vulnerability assessments of those hazards.
All documents can be found under Resources & Documents on the CAAP project page:
The draft plan was presented to the community at LB ClimateFest, a public open house event on June 1, 2019. This kicked off a 45-day public comment period that will close on July 15, 2019. A final CAAP will be released in late summer 2019.
