Climate Action Plan (CAP)

Purpose and Goals

The Las Positas College Climate Action Plan (CAP) is a guidance document that provides a clear series of steps that our institution can immediately implement as it grapples with climate change. This document helps add perspective to our role and responsibility to mitigate the impacts. It tracks our progress, highlights areas to celebrate, and provides recommendations for change. It is a document that will be reflected upon periodically to ensure its effectiveness. Currently, the review cycle is every 10 years. However, a 5-year period aligns more with Board of Governors policy and stated goals.

This report is a relatively new addition to the periodic reports that our college produces and will be utilized alongside other substantive guidance documents, such as the Facilities Master Plan and the Educational Master Plan. Its content and intent reflect Chabot-Las Positas Community College Districts Board Policy and Administrative Policies: BP3580 and AP3580, each passed in late 2022.
