Climate Action Advisory Committee
The Climate Action Advisory Committee (CAAC) provides information and advice to the RCPA Board, staff, and project consultants during the development and implementation of climate action programs.
CAAC members work with RCPA staff to develop and implement GHG reduction programs and measures in Sonoma County communities.
This includes reviewing and considering materials, proposals, ideas and concepts introduced to them by RCPA and jurisdiction staff. CAAC members also foster communication outside of the CAAC regarding progress and outcomes of RCPA initiatives – particularly as they relate to a member’s jurisdiction or sector.
