Council Discusses Irvine’s Climate Action & Adaptation Plan
Mayor Larry Agran called a special Council meeting on April 8th to discuss the City’s draft Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP), a package containing nearly 200 proposed actions and programs, both large and small, to make Irvine carbon-neutral by 2040.
Although the CAAP has been nearly four years in the making — with more than half of the action items already completed or currently underway — there has been no firm estimate of the plan’s cost or a cost-benefit analysis of its various pieces.
That analysis is now being done with a City consultant and should be completed in the coming weeks.
In addition to requiring a full financial analysis, Agran called for the CAAP to be reviewed by the City’s Finance Commission, Sustainability Commission, and Transportation Commission.
