Status of Implementation
The County routinely coordinates and partners with SMAQMD and SMUD and has focused its efforts on energy efficiency, regional grant coordination, and establishment of the County's carbon farming program.
The County's adopted legislative priorities are published on the internet for 2023-2024. The County's federal legislative priorities contain a sustainability platform to: “Support funding to enhance local climate mitigation and adaptation efforts, including efforts in partnership with local agencies and jurisdictions, including the Sacramento Municipal Utility District, other regional agencies and associations, and the region's environmental and social justice member organizations."
The County is participating in the SMAQMD U.S. EPA CPRG grant application for the region and is leading a regional working group on carbon farming and sequestration in support of the process. Through the CPRG process, the County and region have prioritized natural and working lands as a pillar of the climate solution and will be working to identify projects aimed and reducing agricultural emissions while supporting farmers and ranchers.
