City of Elk Grove Climate Compass Project

The City of Elk Grove Climate Compass Project, identified by solicitation number PLNG25-009, is a strategic initiative to comprehensively update the city's existing 2019 Climate Action Plan. The project serves as a roadmap to help the city achieve specific greenhouse gas emission reduction targets and implement actionable strategies to adapt to anticipated climate-related impacts. A primary objective of the updated plan is to ensure local efforts are fully aligned with California state mandates, specifically Assembly Bill 1279, which requires the state to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions and an 85 percent reduction in anthropogenic emissions by 2045. The project was approved on June 10, 2026, following environmental impact assessments conducted in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act. This approval included the preparation of a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report to ensure compliance with environmental standards. Managed by the City of Elk Grove's Strategic Planning and Innovation department, the project falls under NAICS code 541620 and is part of a broader suite of municipal planning efforts aimed at long-term sustainable development and environmental stewardship within the region.
