What’s a Climate Action & Adaptation Plan?

Originally adopted in 2019, the City’s CAAP sets short- and long-term climate goals and outlines strategies across energy, transportation, housing, natural resources, waste, and community health.

This update will build on that foundation by refining and focusing the plan to prioritize the most practical, high-impact actions for the next five years.

What’s Changing in the Update?

The CAAP Update will focus on:

  • Using the latest climate data to better understand local risks and vulnerabilities.

  • Reviewing progress on the first CAAP, including what worked well and what challenges remain.

  • Refining strategies to focus on fewer, higher-impact actions with clear timelines, budgets, partners, and equity considerations.

  • Embedding equity and community benefits to ensure actions reduce disparities and improve public health, economic opportunity, and quality of life for all Columbia residents.
