Resolutions, Ordinances, or Other Climate Legislation

This assessment is based on 2 pieces of legislation. The City of Thousand Oaks adopted its 2024 Climate and Environmental Action Plan through City Council resolution, establishing greenhouse gas reduction targets of 40 percent below 2010 levels by 2030 and 80 percent below 2050 levels, aligned with California state requirements. The plan prioritizes reducing emissions from transportation and natural gas use through strategies like promoting electric vehicles and converting gas heating systems to electric alternatives. The city has already made progress by transitioning to 100 percent renewable electricity in 2019, which significantly reduced emissions from power use. Development of the plan involved extensive community input from over 800 residents and a stakeholder group, with strong public support for the climate action measures. The City Council also approved an environmental review finding that the plan would not cause significant adverse environmental impacts.
