The October 2024 Final Sacramento County Climate Action Plan (CAP) is a comprehensive plan for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and adapting to the effects of climate change that identifies strategies and measures to meet the State of California’s 2030 and 2045 GHG emissions reduction targets. The 2024 CAP is a multi-objective plan that balances environmental, economic, and community interests; provides mechanisms to reduce GHG emissions associated with implementing the Sacramento County General Plan of 2005–2030; and aligns with multiple County initiatives.

The Board of Supervisors approved the 2024 Final CAP on Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024. 

Additional CAP information can be found on the Community Development webpage.

Climate Vulnerability Assessment

The Sacramento County Vulnerability Assessment provides a comprehensive analysis of community vulnerability to climate change across the unincorporated county. Sacramento County’s initial Vulnerability Assessment was completed in January 2017. Several elements of the original Vulnerability Assessment were then updated and summarized in Appendix B of the 2022 draft CAP. Collectively, the 2017 Assessment and 2022 CAP Appendix B serve as the basis for the county’s climate change vulnerability any reference to the County's “Vulnerability Assessment” is meant to encompass both documents.
