Raleigh's Climate Plan in Action

CCAP has three objectives: to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, to build community resilience to climate change impacts and to support climate equity.

The strategies in CCAP support these objectives. Raleigh's primary sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions come from how we use energy in our buildings and how that energy is produced, how we get around, and how our landfill waste breaks down.  CCAP strategies are divided into three main categories to address GHG emissions, build resilience and support equity.
