The Anaheim Climate Action Plan sets greenhouse gas reduction targets, electrification goals, and adaptation measures for city operations, the resort district, and residential customers, aligning with California SB 32 and AB 1279 statewide climate law.
Anaheim adopted a Climate Action Plan (CAP) that translates statewide targets into local actions including building energy efficiency, vehicle electrification, expanded transit through ART, urban tree canopy growth, and APU clean-power procurement. The CAP is structured as a strategy document rather than a citation-based ordinance, but several measures hook into permitting and rebate rules: reach codes for new construction, EV-ready wiring, cool roofs in new builds, and tree replacement during development review. Progress is tracked through periodic GHG inventories presented to City Council.
The CAP itself is not directly cited against residents, but linked rules in zoning, building, and APU programs carry their own enforcement and fines.
