A locally adopted CAP is a comprehensive policy tool outlining specific actions that a community will undertake to reduce GHG emissions and/or adaptation strategies the community will implement to counter the negative effects of climate change.
The CCAP consists of over forty programs that are combining a variety of public- and private-sector approaches aimed at reducing emissions profitably while stimulating greater energy efficiency, commercializing renewable-energy technologies, and improving U.S. industrial, agricultural, and forest productivity.
COMMUNITY CLIMATE ROADMAP 2035 Building upon that foundation, this Roadmap provides Santa Clara County with strategies and actions that will accelerate climate action in unincorporated areas of the county, as well as regionally, to promote sustainable growth and transition away from fossil fuels.

Gunnison Valley Climate Action Plan: In July 2021 the County adopted the Gunnison Valley Climate Action Plan which provides a pathway to 50% emissions reduction by 2030 from the 2015 baseline.
Actions for a healthy planet Save energy at home. Much of our electricity and heat are powered by coal, oil and gas. Change your home's source of energy. Walk, bike or take public transport. Switch to an electric vehicle. Consider your travel. Reduce, reuse, repair and recycle. Eat more vegetables. Throw away less food.
The main ways to stop climate change are to pressure government and business to: Keep fossil fuels in the ground. Invest in renewable energy. Switch to sustainable transport. Help us keep our homes cosy. Improve farming and encourage vegan diets. Restore nature to absorb more carbon. Protect forests like the Amazon.
