Climate Action Plan

Climate Action Plan
The Albany City Council adopted the Climate Action Plan (CAP) in April 2010.  The CAP is comprised of  polices and measures that, when implemented, will enable the City to meet its target for greenhouse gas emission reductions. Several climate protection measures and policies are either in place or in the planning stages. 

Implementation
The City Council has approved an Implementation Plan for the CAP, which outlines how the City will begin the process of taking action against climate change locally.

Get Involved
Achieving the goals outlined in the CAP will require a signficant amount of work by the City and the community as a whole. Many opportunities are available to "green". Contact us at greenalbany@albanyca.org for more information. Sign up for updates here.
