Challenge/Local/State

Description

State Solution
(Type of Activity: Program Implementation and Outreach )

Develop interactive, modular guidance as part of the General Plan Guidelines that scales by jurisdiction size and geography—e.g., allowing planners to input whether they are inland, coastal, or desert to receive customized climate strategies and sample policies

Existing Examples of Progress: The proposed online GPG platform—with customizable recommendations by jurisdiction type—is cited as a major step forward in addressing the capacity gap for smaller and rural communities. LCI noted the next GPG update (2025–2027) aims to ensure that “wherever you’re from, whether a big city like Los Angeles or a part-time planner in Bishop, you can take these guidelines easily, see what you have to do, and integrate climate into your plan”
Region: Inland Deserts
