Menlo Park’s Recent CAP Adoption: Carbon Zero by 2030: Learnings & Best Practices on the Path to Bold Action

Uniquely threatened by climate change but well positioned to think big, the City of Menlo Park began work in July 2019 to craft a new Climate Action Plan (CAP). Through a cooperative effort, Menlo Park City Council, staff, commissioners, and community studied and boldly adopted aggressive new measures in July 2020. Hear from Menlo Park’s 2030 CAP architects, analysts and authors about their road to establishing lofty goals – Carbon Zero by 2030 – and their process for outlining impactful solutions. The session includes the story of this journey as well as lessons learned and models for other cities to follow.
