These same programs also support statewide greenhouse gas emission <br />reduction targets for 2020, 2030, and 2050. Some of the climate-related actions are taken <br />directly from the Climate Action Plan, while others are more broadly related to land use and <br />transportation strategies which reduce dependence on gasoline-powered vehicles, or to air <br />quality and energy conservation measures. (Implementation Chapter, page 11-17) <br />Additionally, the following specific General Plan Goals and Policies support an update to the <br />Climate Action Plan and creation of an Adaptation Plan.
