Berkeley’s Climate Action Plan, adopted by the City Council in 2009, is the overarching planning document guiding future development in Berkeley.
Livable Berkeley evaluates plans and projects in Berkeley in the context of achieving our greenhouse gas reduction goals.
In order to meet the Greenhouse Gas Reduction goals set by the voters, the city must reduce transportation-related emissions. That means making our city more walkable, having more people living on major corridors with transit and having more services available to them within walking distance.
In November 2006, Berkeley voters issued a bold call to action on global warming – to reduce our entire community’s greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent by 2050. To achieve this goal, the city developed a Climate Action Plan.
