Climate Planning
Learn about the Air District’s climate planning efforts.
Bay Area Regional Climate Action Planning Initiative
The Air District has received funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Climate Pollution Reduction Grant program, or CPRG, to create a regional climate action plan for the northern and central Bay Area region. (The southern region is part of a separate planning effort.) Learn more about the multi-year planning effort, referred to as the Bay Area Regional Climate Action Planning Initiative, or BARCAP.
Local Government Climate Planning
Local governments play a critical role in enacting on-the-ground policies and programs that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Air District’s Climate Protection Planning Program provides planning and policy support to these key partners.
