SB County releases draft Climate Action Plan

Santa Barbara County has released a draft of its 2030 Climate Action Plan (CAP) with the goal of reducing carbon emissions in the community by 50% by 2030. 

The plan includes improving air quality, providing safer opportunities for bikers and walkers, enhancing energy resilience, preserving open spaces, and making buildings more efficient. The county will be hosting three public workshops to engage with the community and develop key strategies and actions for the CAP. 

Sustainability Division Chief Ashley Watkins emphasized the importance of community participation in achieving the ambitious goals set by the plan. The CAP draft and information about the workshops can be found at countyofsb.org/oneclimate. Source: Santa Barbara News-Press
