In 2021, the Irvine City Council voted to develop its first Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP). A draft of the plan is now available for community review and feedback.

It is important to note that the CAAP promotes broad policy objectives, but does not approve, allocate funding, or authorize implementation of any specific project. Each proposed project in the CAAP will need to be reviewed and approved individually.

On August 3rd, the City of Irvine celebrated the official opening of its new City-run public library system, with more than 1,200 residents in attendance.

The first step in the planning process is understanding local needs, which will inform future collections, programs, services, and locations. Community input will be essential in ensuring that Irvine ends up with a library system that best serves its residents.

This summer, thousands of Irvine residents attended the free events hosted by the City — including CicloIrvine, a community swim lesson, the Pac-Man exhibit at the Great Park, the City’s first Fourth of July parade & fireworks show, five outdoor concerts at Hicks Canyon Community Park, four movies under the stars at Mike Ward Community Park, the Studio Arts Festival, a community bike ride, and the Thursday Night Market at Great Park Live.

Residents also showed up in force to support a variety of community projects — harvesting fruits & vegetables for our local food banks, participating in the City’s mobility summit, donating items for local military families, dropping off supplies at the Irvine Animal Care Center, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Irvine Police Department, and attending the grand opening of our new Irvine Public Library System.
