Climate Action Planning Process

What is a Climate Action Plan?

A Climate Action Plan

(CAP) outlines steps a city

can take to reduce its

contribution to climate

change.

What is in a Climate Action Plan?

Cost effective strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that

benefit the local economy and community well being.

Why Does Antioch Need a CAP?

• Economic and social benefits

• State legislation requires greenhouse gas reductions

• State & Federal grant money

• Climate change is a serious threat to people and ecosystems

Why Does Antioch Need a CAP?

The City of Antioch has set a target of reducing community-wide greenhouse gas emissions to 25% below its baseline by the year 2020 and 80% by 2050.

Total Reduction Needed by 2020 = 75,295 Metric Tons of CO2 e

Antioch GHG Reductions

We need a Climate Action Plan!

Greenhouse gas

reduction strategies are

developed based on the

emission footprint of a

city.

How do we create Antioch’s Climate Action Plan?

Antioch GHG Footprint

Transportation = 40% of

Antioch GHG

Footprint

• Commute to work

Proximity to goods

and services

Antioch Residential GHG Footprint

Residential = 23%

of Antioch GHG

Footprint

• Home heating

• Home cooling

• Electricity use

Antioch Commercial GHG Footprint

Commercial = 21% of

Antioch GHG Footprint

• Heating & Cooling

• Electricity & Water

• Refrigerants

Industrial = 5% of Antioch

• Refrigerants

• Chemical processes

Waste = 11% of

• Recycling

• Compost

GHG Footprint Projections

Unique characteristics of a city’s economy, resource base, and political structure provide different opportunities for dealing with climate change.


The best CAPs are designed with input from many different people who

live, work and play in the area.

Many great ideas.

But limited time and resources.

We need to prioritize the strategies that help us reach our GHG reduction goals and have the most value for the community.

Rate each strategy based on two factors:

Resources Available

Timeframe for Implementation


Resources Available

- We have the resources already

- We can get the resources nearby or from a partner

- We need to develop the resources

- We can do this right now

- We can do this in 1-3 years

- We can do this in 4 years or longer
