On November 2, 2023, the Orange County Board of County Commissioners adopted the County's first Climate Action Plan. See the full Climate Action Plan here!
This plan is the result of numerous engagement efforts through surveys, focus group sessions and direct outreach with individuals and community organizations, nonprofits, businesses, and our farm community. Their valuable input helped develop the 70 strategies of the plan in the areas of Transportation, Built Environment and Energy, Resource Conservation, Green Community, and Resilient Community.
With this guiding document, the County aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 50% by 2030 and 100% by 2050.
