The draft Climate Action and Resiliency Plan (CARP) 2023 Annual Report and 2024 Work Plan is now available online!

CARP annual reports are presented each year to update Alamedans on significant accomplishments for climate action and adaptation over the previous year and identify work plan priorities for the coming year. The annual report also serves as the annual report for the Climate Adaptation and Hazard Mitigation Plan, as required by FEMA.

In 2024, CARP will undergo a mid-cycle update with a new greenhouse gas inventory, updates to the plan goals, strategies,​ and detailed implementation plans for the next phase of the City's climate work from 2025 - 2030.
