The City of Bell Gardens Climate Action Plan (CAP)

The City of Bell Gardens Climate Action Plan (CAP)

The Bell Gardens CAP serves as a strategic roadmap to guide the City's efforts to reduce GHG emissions, adapt to climate change, and promote sustainability throughout the community. The CAP outlines goals, actions, and strategies that support Bell Gardens' broader goals of environmental stewardship, economic vitality, and social equity. The CAP serves as the plan for reduction of GHG emissions for the City. The CAP is intentionally a living document that can be revised as needed withdear and transparent metrics by which progress can be both assessed and measured. As part of its commitment to Iong4erm climate action, Bell Gardens aims to align with California's statewide greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals, including reducing emissions 40% below 1990 levels by 2030, reaching 100% zero-carbon electricity by 2045, and achieving net-zero GHG emissions no later than 2045, consistent with Executive Order B-55 and Senate Bill 100. The CAP is meant to serve as a guiding document towards GHG reductions both in municipal operations and community wide. It is designed as a comprehensive strategy to reduce emissions in a manner consistent with state guidelines and regulations, and to identify cost-effective opportunities to existing and future residents, businesses, and development projects for a more sustainable community.
