Section 1. Introduction | 17Pleasanton Climate Action Plan 2.0 <br />1.4 CAP 2.0 Local and Regional <br />Context <br />The CAP 2.0 does not exist within a vacuum. To understand <br />the strategies, gaps, and opportunities that exist, the City and <br />professional services team reviewed relevant existing plans, <br />policies, and programs that inform or relate to current and <br />future climate activities in the City. Development of CAP 2.0 also <br />intentionally aligned with and built upon several sustainability- <br />related plans and efforts. <br />Table 4 (right) links to the various documents reviewed for the City <br />of Pleasanton Baseline Assessment. Figure 1 (next page) highlights <br />the City's key sustainability actions to date. <br />Beyond Pleasanton’s immediate context, regional efforts include <br />but are not limited to: <br />• Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) <br />programs such as Climate Protection Planning Program, <br />Healthy Homes Initiative, and Wildfire Air Quality Response <br />Program. <br />• Alameda County programs such as Green Business <br />Certification, Climate Protection Project, and Cool Counties <br />Climate Stabilization Declaration. <br />• StopWaste programs that help the community waste less and <br />use resources more efficiently. <br />• Plan Bay Area 2040 details how the nine-county Bay Area can <br />make progress toward the region’s long-range transportation <br />and land use goals. <br />• Climate action plans in neighboring jurisdictions; for <br />example, Dublin and Livermore recently established GHG <br />reduction targets for carbon neutrality by 2045. <br />Table 4.
