The Climate Action Plan Report Card assesses the Orange County region’s climate planning and climate action to guide the public and local governments to:

​

• Take transformative climate action; 

• Share best practices; 

• Uncover patterns and trends across a vast and scattered set of information; and 

• Increase transparency and accountability.

​

Through this report, we hope to spur cities to take action and protect our region’s future with Climate Action Plans (CAPs) that include ambitious emissions reductions targets and best practices gleaned from models in the region.

We also arm residents in the community with a tool that increases transparency and enables them to hold their local governments accountable to reducing the pollution that causes climate change. Cities are a key component of climate action and this Report Card is an essential tool that will guide the direction and speed of local policies.
