City Council Passes Climate Action Plan

On July 1, 2025, Redlands City Council voted to adopt the 2050 Climate Action Plan (CAP). This document is an update to the City’s first Climate Action Plan, which was adopted in 2017 in conjunction with the 2035 General Plan.

The updated CAP includes 58 unique measures that the City will initiate between now and 2050 to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, thus helping to improve air quality as well as slow the progression of warming temperatures in the climate. In addition, the CAP is intended to expand community sustainability programs, support climate resilience and environmental equity, promote environmental education and outreach, set monitoring requirements to track project progress, and more.

Climate change affects everyone in the City of Redlands differently. The proposed solutions were written to address the need for versatility, while aiming to meet firm reduction targets. City staff are excited to share our comprehensive plan to address the growing need for climate action in our region.
