Climate Action Program
In June 2006 the City of Albany committed to becoming members of ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability (ICLEI) and participating in the Alameda County Climate Protection Project (ACCPP).
The project was launched by ICLEI in partnership with the Alameda County Waste Management Authority & Recycling Board (StopWaste.Org) and the Alameda County Conference of Mayors. In committing to the project, the City embarked on an ongoing, coordinated effort to reduce the emissions that cause global warming, improve air quality, reduce waste, cut energy use and save money. Toward that end, ICLEI and StopWaste.Org assisted the City to conduct a baseline greenhouse gas emissions inventory. Based on baseline greenhouse gas emissions, the Albany City Council set a community-wide emissions reduction target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 25 elow 2004 levels by the year 2020.
To achieve this reduction target, the City will develop a climate action plan that consists of polices and measures.
