Title

Foster City Climate Action Plan 2024 Update (2024 CAP).

Description

The 2024 CAP delineates a comprehensive roadmap for greenhouse gas emissions reduction across two pivotal sectors: 1) energy and water and 2) transportation and land use. Additionally, it emphasizes two additional sectors focusing on (3) waste and consumption and (4) climate resiliency and leadership, recognizing the imperative of fortifying the city against impending climate hazards. Acknowledging that even complete elimination of emissions today won't preclude future climate impacts, Foster City underscores the necessity of fortifying resilience against rising sea levels, heightened temperatures, and exacerbated fire risks. The 2024 CAP articulates a strategic blueprint for proactively developing a climate change resiliency plan to address these challenges. By achieving the objectives in this 2024 CAP, the City will reach the first milestone target of at least a 50 percent reduction in GHG emissions below 2005 levels by 2030. Achieving this first milestone will help the City reach the next target of an 85% reduction by 2045.
