Pleasanton Climate Action Plan 2.0 Pleasanton Climate Action Plan 2.0 | 19 <br />1.5 CAP 2.0 State Context <br />Pleasanton must take an evidence-based approach <br />to climate action planning that aligns with the <br />latest science, current and anticipated policies, and <br />neighboring communities. <br />Since adoption of the CAP 1.0, several strategies to monitor and address climate <br />change have emerged and California has continued to be a leader in developing <br />climate action goals. Key California legislation and executive orders (EO) that set <br />statewide emissions targets include: <br />EO S-3-05 (2005) established statewide targets for reducing GHG emissions to <br />2000 levels by 2010, 1990 levels by 2020, and 80% below 1990 levels by 2050. <br />CEQA Guidelines Sections 15183.5 (2010) required, as part of Senate Bill <br />(SB) 97, that public agencies review the environmental impacts of proposed <br />projects and planning documents, including CAPs and specific kinds of <br />development projects, to address GHG emissions and provide guidance about <br />the analysis, mitigation, and effects of GHG emissions. Completion of this <br />environmental review is one of six factors that support a GHG Reduction Plan <br />(i.e., CAP) to be considered qualified. <br />SB 32 (2016) established an update statewide goal of reducing GHG emissions <br />to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030. <br />California Climate Change Scoping Plan Update (2017) lays out California’s <br />strategy for meeting its GHG emissions reduction goals, including targets and <br />standards for clean energy, clean transportation, energy efficiency, land use <br />and agriculture, industry, and other sectors. The state adopted the Assembly <br />Bill (AB) 32 and SB 32 Scoping Plans in 2014 and 2017, respectively. <br />EO B-55-18 (2018) created a statewide goal of reaching carbon neutrality by <br />2045 (in addition to meeting SB 32 targets for 2030).
