Abstract/Summary
This project involves the research and comparison of seven cities’ climate action plans, each from its own region within California. The areas selected roughly represent major California regions, each with unique characteristics that will impact the characteristics of the climate action plan’s framework and contents. This analysis will identify similarities in framework and content among each plan, highlighting organizational differences, some generalized observations, and the consistency of topics covered and not covered within the plans. This project reviews the California Office of Planning & Research’s General Plan Guidelines Chapter 8, the California Office of Emergency Services’ California Adaptation Planning Guide, and California’s 2017 Climate Change Scoping Plan. Each climate action plan will be analyzed through the lens of state guidelines and its perceived level of effectiveness in terms of its policy, programs, implementation methods, and monitoring methods.
