On June 4th, 2025, City Council adopted the West Sacramento Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP). This plan establishes a roadmap for carbon neutrality by 2045. When this goal is achieved, the City of West Sacramento will demonstrate true environmental stewardship; and will increase the quality of life for its residents and businesses.

The City's greenhouse gas emissions come from three sources. Transportation is the largest contributor, with 64% of total output. Energy is responsible for 30% and methane from waste is 6%. These categories are expected to produce over 400,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions per year. In order to reach carbon neutrality, output needs to dip down to less than 150,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions per year.  

The CAAP was designed with solutions tailored to our emissions portfolio. Below are the seven overarching goals of the CAAP. Goals 1 and 2 address transportation, Goals 3 and 4 address energy and Goal 5 addresses waste. In addition, Goal 6 covers carbon removal and Goal 7 addresses resiliency.

Please take a look at the links below to see what the City plans to achieve in each area, and also take a look at what you can do to help!
