We'd like to hear from YOU about Irvine's Climate Action & Adaptation Plan!
The Public Comment Period is now open!
The City of Irvine has developed a Draft Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP) to address the challenges posed by climate change and create a sustainable and resilient future for all community members.
The Draft CAAP is now available for public comment. Share your input on the Draft CAAP by clicking anywhere in the document below and leaving a comment. If you prefer to submit written comments or ask questions, please email EnvironmentalPrograms@cityofirvine.org.

In 2021, the City of Irvine embarked on developing its first CAAP. The CAAP will set ambitious but achievable emissions reduction targets for the City and lays out a pathway to achieving our climate goals across both municipal operations and our community. Through thoughtfully planned greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction and climate adaptation measures, the CAAP will build upon Irvine’s previous steps towards climate leadership in Orange County to create a truly climate-smart City for the future.
The Irvine CAAP seeks to:
- Guide the City on the implementation of measurable actions to meet or exceed the State’s GHG reduction targets and carbon neutrality goal, as well as the City’s ambitious zero-carbon goals;
- Recommend adaptation measures that build resilience to current and future climate threats; and
- Emphasize climate goals for the community, establishing an aspirational and achievable path that provides options to realize aggressive emissions reduction targets by 2030, 2035, and 2045.
