Local Solution
(Type of Activity: Policy/Planning/Land Use )

Embedding Climate Work Across Departments. Jurisdictions can distribute climate planning and implementation responsibilities across departments by establishing cross-sector teams (e.g., planning, public works, transportation, housing), integrating CAP measures into routine operations and general plan elements rather than relying on a single sustainability role.

Further Progress Pathways: LCI's upcoming 2027 General Plan Guidelines Update: This update will embed climate mitigation, adaptation, and resilience across all elements, replacing standalone CAP sections. It includes new optional elements on urban design, water, and natural and working lands, each linked to climate policy outcomes.
