Section 4. Implementation | 73Pleasanton Climate Action Plan 2.0 <br />4.7 Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting <br />A core requirement of a qualified GHG reduction plan under CEQA <br />is to monitor implementation of adopted GHG emissions reduction <br />strategies. Successful implementation requires a methodology, tools, <br />and metrics to measure progress and track performance over time. <br />The City will rely on CAPDash—a cloud-based tool—to continually <br />monitor CAP progress. The City will conduct regular GHG emissions <br />inventories (e.g., every 3 years), track and measure progress toward <br />meeting CAP 2.0 targets and goals, and support transparent data and <br />progress reporting with the community and stakeholders. City staff <br />will use CAPDash as well as reports from implementation leads to <br />develop an annual City Council update on CAP 2.0 implementation <br />that includes progress against specific strategies and actions, as well as <br />overall progress on reducing community climate vulnerability and GHG <br />emissions. <br />While monitoring, evaluation, and reporting of emissions reductions <br />are essential to stay on track to meet CAP 2.0 goals, they can be time- <br />consuming and detract from other critical monitoring such as assessing <br />community perspectives and feedback on implementation. Both <br />are needed to adaptively manage CAP 2.0 and ensure it meets both <br />emissions reduction and community investment goals. Therefore, <br />the City will establish through the work of the Committee on Energy <br />and the Environment, an opportunity for public feedback and <br />recommendations and share with City Council in the annual update. <br />Given the accelerating pace of climate change, the City will evaluate <br />and update the CAP 2.0 in 2030 to ensure that CAP 2.0 strategies and <br />actions reflect the latest knowledge and best practices around climate <br />change, Pleasanton’s progress on implementation, and the changing <br />landscape of local, state, and federal funding and environmental <br />policies. It is expected that methodologies for measuring some KPIs <br />may also evolve and improve over time. The City currently plans to <br />track and report on the following KPIs, which emphasize strategies with <br />significant GHG emissions reduction potential (see Table 11).
