Community Climate Action Plan for Sonoma County
The Community Climate Action Plan is the third step in a five-step program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions throughout all of Sonoma County. The program is being followed by all nine Sonoma cities, the County and the Water Agency.
- The first step, completed by the Climate Protection Campaign in 2005, was an inventory of Sonoma County’s greenhouse gas emissions.
- Step two was to set a greenhouse gas emissions reduction target. In 2005, Sonoma County and the nine cities within it adopted the country’s boldest target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions: 25% below 1990 levels by 2015.
- Step three is the Community Climate Action Plan, the blueprint to help Sonoma County achieve this emissions target.
- Step four will be the implementation of actions in the Community Climate Action Plan.
- Step five will be an on-going monitoring process to ensure we meet our reduction target.

Recent milestones toward developing Sonoma’s Community Climate Action Plan:
The Climate Protection Campaign recently completed the third of four meetings with our Community Group. This group of volunteers is evaluating the solutions included in the Community Climate Action Plan. The Community Group includes representatives from all nine cities and the unincorporated areas of Sonoma County. Members represent four constituencies within the county: youth, civic groups, businesses, and governments.
