MA-65 Hazard Mitigation - 91.210(a)(5), 91.310(a)(3) Describe the jurisdiction's increased natural hazard risks associated with climate change. Pleasanton recognized the State of California's efforts in combating climate change that have resulted in more frequent and higher intensity heat waves and wildfires, rising sea level, and declining snowpack. Describe the vulnerability to these risks of housing occupied by low-and moderate-income households based on an analysis of data,findings, and methods. The City adopted a Climate Action Plan in 2012 that provides a strategy to assist California in reducing greenhouse gas(GHG) emissions. The plan describes goals, supporting strategies, and specific ground actions to help the City achieve its goal of reducing GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. The plan identifies transportation and residential, commercial, and industrial energy use as the primary sources of the City's GHG emissions. California Assembly Bill 32 and Executive Order S-3-05, has established statewide GHG emission reduction targets of 40-percent below 1990 emission levels by 2030 and 80-percent below 1990 emission levels by 2050. Accounting for the new state laws, the Pleasanton City Council- approved its 2019-2020 Work Plan which includes preparation of an updated Climate Action Plan (CAP 2.0). As with Pleasanton's 2012 Climate Action Plan, CAP 2.0 will continue to respond to the impacts of climate change through local actions that significantly reduces the City's greenhouse gas emissions as well as closes the gap between GHG emission reduction targets and Pleasanton's projected emissions.
