In 2024, Las Positas College updaed our Climate Action Plan which will help guide our college through the next 5 years. Our Climate Action Plan is part of a 116-community college wide effort to act in unison and make systemic changes to how we operate, how we prioritize, and how we communicate the challenges before us. Las Positas college is uniquely positioned with strong ties to local industry leaders and local governments to prepare those at greater risk than others from these challenges.
