The public is invited to review the Draft Foster City Climate Action Plan (CAP) 2024 Update and the California Environmental Quality (CEQA) Negative Declaration. The community can comment on the two documents, found at https://sustainable.fostercity.org/climate-action-plan-update/, until October 18. All comments should be sent to sustainable@fostercity.org.

A Climate Action Plan outlines how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while building community resiliency. A Negative Declaration is a document that can be adopted by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Commission when a project is not expected to have a significant negative impact on the environment. Foster City’s first CAP was adopted in 2016. This update was created with extensive community input and participation in its development process. The City’s Citizens Sustainability Advisory Committee (CSAC) was instrumental in the development of the CAP 2024 Update. The CAP is Foster City’s plan to reduce its contribution to climate change while addressing its current and future impacts. The Draft Climate Action Plan Update is posted at https://sustainable.fostercity.org/climate-action-plan-update/.
