This assessment is based on 1 legislation. The Town of Corte Madera adopted Resolution No. 43/2020 in December 2020, formally declaring a climate emergency and committing to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045, aligned with California’s state targets. The resolution directs town staff to integrate climate considerations into all relevant decisions, allocate dedicated funding for climate mitigation and adaptation efforts, and conduct community outreach on climate action.
