BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
In 2021 and 2022, Napa County jurisdictions unanimously adopted resolutions or proclamations, declaring the existence of a Climate Emergency and calls for taking immediate action to mitigate climate impacts and prepare for the impacts of climate change.
While the CAC is a forum for regional coordination on climate action, the CAC is an advisory body to the individual member jurisdictions. CAC actions must then be considered and approved by the respective municipal hearing bodies for adoption, budgeting, and implementation. CAC staff would like to begin including a standing item on the CAC agenda item during which municipal staff from the CAC member agencies will be invited provide updates on recent climate action and sustainability activities in their specific jurisdiction. This presentation item is designed to allow each member jurisdiction to highlight the progress they have made on CAC priorities and other climate action and sustainability activities.
During this February 2026 meeting, County staff will provide an update on the activities they are working on for the unincorporated county, which are described below.
