The OurCounty Climate Action Plan (OurCounty CAP) will outline actions that Los Angeles County plans to take to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and adapt to a changing climate in unincorporated areas. The County’s existing Community Climate Action Plan (CCAP) document was adopted by the Board of Supervisors in 2015 as a component of the Los Angeles County General Plan 2035; it expires in 2020 and will be replaced by the OurCounty CAP. The OurCounty CAP will tie together existing climate change initiatives and provide a blueprint for deep carbon reductions.  Through this updated CAP, the County is targeting carbon neutrality by 2045 in unincorporated Los Angeles County.

The OurCounty CAP will include a GHG inventory and a roadmap for addressing emissions from stationary energy (used by buildings and other facilities), transportation, waste, industrial, agricultural, and land use sectors. Mitigation measures identified in the plan will also yield community co-benefits, including improvements in air quality, public health, mobility, and resilience. The OurCounty CAP will be aligned with the General Plan as well as OurCounty, the countywide sustainability plan, to support decision-makers in delivering climate compatible solutions in unincorporated Los Angeles County.
