The Town of Yountville understands that climate change has the potential to significantly affect Yountville’s residents and businesses, as well as other communities around the world. The Town also recognizes that local governments play a strong role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating the potential impacts of climate change.
The purpose of this Climate Action Plan (CAP) is to compile existing and potential strategies (i.e., actions, projects, and programs) that the Town’s government and the community can use to address climate change. It provides a brief background on what climate change is and its potential impacts, but focuses on the efforts Yountville can take to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate, to the extent feasible at the local level, the potential impacts of climate change.
