Climate Solutions incorporate mitigation of and <br />adaptation to impacts. <br />3.1 Introduction and <br />Orientation <br />Climate Solutions Introduction <br />Pleasanton’s climate solutions since 2012 have <br />led to meaningful benefits for residents and <br />businesses. The policy focus for the CAP 2.0 <br />builds off the solutions since 2012 and focuses <br />on the gap between the forecasted emissions <br />and the CAP 2.0 targets. CAP 2.0’s climate <br />solutions outline new strategies and actions <br />combined with existing ongoing actions <br />that slow the process of climate change by <br />reducing GHG emissions from multiple sectors <br />and storing carbon in natural systems. CAP <br />2.0 climate solutions also build resilience to <br />extreme heat and weather, flooding, wildfire, <br />fluctuations in the power supply, and water <br />shortages. In addition to reducing emissions, <br />the CAP 2.0’s climate solutions have many <br />social, economic, and environmental co- <br />benefits for the community (see Orientation to <br />actions for details).
