Background
The County of Humboldt is working with incorporated cities and community partners, including the Humboldt Waste Management Authority, Humboldt Transit Authority, Humboldt County Association of Governments and Redwood Coast Energy Authority, on the Humboldt Regional Climate Action Plan aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions countywide. The plan identifies strategies to lower emissions from vehicle travel, electricity use, natural gas consumption and other local sources of greenhouse gases. The plan’s emissions reduction goals align with California’s state targets of reducing emissions by 40% below 1990 levels by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2045.
The County of Humboldt’s Planning & Building Department has released the latest draft of the Humboldt Regional Climate Action Plan for its 30-day public review period, which ends on Friday, Sept. 13. Review the plan at humboldtgov.org/climateactionplan.
