Climate Action
Climate action and sustainability are a priority for the City of Napa. The City declared a Climate Emergency on April 5, 2022. The Climate Emergency Resolution guides the city's actions to address the climate crisis. The Climate Emergency Resolution states:
The scientific evidence indicates that an urgent global climate mobilization effort to reverse global warming is needed as quickly as possible towards net zero climate pollutants from public and private operations within the City by 2030.
What is climate action?
Climate Action is the effort to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-induced impacts.
By using energy more efficiently, harnessing renewable electricity to power our buildings, enhancing access to sustainable transportation, and increasing compost we can keep dollars in our local economy, create new green jobs, and reduce GHG emissions.
