Climate Adaptation
The fourth section in Oakland's 2030 Equitable Climate Action Plan (ECAP) focuses on climate adaptation. Even if Oakland's contribution to the climate crisis ended tomorrow, our city would still be impacted by climate change. Carbon in the atmosphere will continue to influence sea level rise, wildfires, and other threats. While Oakland continues its efforts to slow and reverse climate change, resilient infrastructure and risk reduction measures must be in place to address the immediate and foreseeable climate risks to health and safety, particularly in frontline communities.
