Bay Area Regional Climate Action Plan Survey

The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (Air District) received funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG) program to develop a Bay Area Regional Climate Action Plan (BARCAP) to achieve the Region’s climate goals while centering thriving communities. The region is fortunate to have many local climate action plans, and the state has a statewide plan as well. The BARCAP will complement and build upon these plans.

The BARCAP will include near- and long-term actions to directly reduce greenhouse gas emissions in our region which contribute to climate change, while also resulting in cleaner air to breathe and healthier communities to live in. The intention is for the BARCAP to not only tackle climate change but also result in benefits to frontline communities—those who are hit hardest by the effects of fossil fuel reliance, and who often face the earliest and most severe impacts of climate change.

Please note that this plan will not cover Santa Clara County. Learn more about the plan for Santa Clara County and San Benito County here.

The Air District is conducting a survey to gather input from Bay Area communities on priorities and concerns regarding the BARCAP’s goals and potential strategies and actions. Public input is critical to guiding the priorities for BARCAP development.
