Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br />Mayor Amezcua and City Councilmembers, <br /> <br />My name is David Martinez, advocate and organizer with Climate Action Campaign (CAC). I write in support <br />of Item #19, regarding the Climate Action Plan Update. <br /> <br />CAC is a nonprofit organization based in San Diego and Orange Counties with a simple mission: to create a <br />zero carbon future through effective and equitable policy action. We need effective and equitable local climate <br />solutions and regional collaboration in order to create the healthy, safe, and connected future that we all <br />deserve. <br /> <br />The currently adopted Climate Action Plan (CAP) was created in 2015. In the nine years since, it has become <br />outdated and doesn’t follow current climate law. This update should align the new CEQA-qualified CAP with <br />current requirements, while also providing robust community engagement and ongoing monitoring and <br />reporting. Centering equity in this process is also critical, so we are encouraged by the fact that this project will <br />include a Community Engagement Plan that will allow different stakeholders to get involved in this process. <br /> <br />We ask for your support on Item #19 and on future CAP implementation work. <br /> <br />Thank you, <br />David Martinez <br />OC Climate Equity Advocate and Organizer <br />Climate Action Campaign <br />(619) 419-1222 ext. 708 <br /> <br /> <br />Like what we do?
