The 2024 Thousand Oaks Climate Action Plan builds on the 2018 Sustainability Action Plan with 2030 and 2045 emission reduction targets aligned with California carbon neutrality goals.
The Climate Action Plan adopted in 2024 sets a 40 percent greenhouse gas reduction below 2005 levels by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2045, mirroring AB 1279 statewide targets. Strategies include municipal fleet electrification, building electrification incentives, expanded EV charging, urban tree canopy growth, and resilience planning for wildfire and drought. The plan layers atop the 2018 Sustainability Action Plan, which addressed water conservation, waste diversion, and renewable energy. Public reporting occurs annually to City Council with metrics tracked by the Public Works Department.
Not directly enforceable on residents. Implementation flows through subsequent ordinances on building codes, fleet rules, and procurement decisions.
