In May 2021, the City of Paramount released a draft of its first Climate Action Plan (CAP), which outlined strategies to meet the State’s greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals and advance sustainability efforts. The City Council adopted the CAP in July 2021. This plan ensures that Paramount reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to 40% below 1990 levels by 2030.
The CAP is tailored to meet the City’s unique community needs. During the development of the plan, residents were encouraged to share their feedback at two virtual community outreach events and two City Council meetings that took place earlier in 2021.
What’s in the Climate Action Plan?
The document provides a comprehensive overview of the plan, including an evaluation of Paramount’s current GHG emissions, GHG target and reduction goals, measures for success, community adaptation, and implementation and monitoring.
