It is also a call to action to residents, community organizations, and <br />businesses to take an active part in transitioning to a low -carbon future and clean economy. This process <br />will foster a vibrant economy, increase community resiliency, and support Redwood City's vision for a <br />livable and sustainable community for all generations to come. <br />The CAP: <br />• Incorporates new global, state, and local policies and climate targets, including carbon <br />neutrality. <br />• Documents climate change impacts here in San Mateo County and previews action needed. <br />• Documents our community partners and how we plan to work together to achieve our goals. <br />• Addresses emissions from what we buy and consume in addition to emissions we generate here. <br />• Provides more ways individuals, community groups, and businesses can get involved. <br />• Focuses on equity, or how to make sure everyone benefits, especially the most vulnerable <br />members of our community. <br />Page 1 of 8 <br />City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcity.ore <br />306 <br />
