Local Climate Action Plan (LCAP)

Develop a data-informed Local Climate Action Plan (LCAP) to mitigate climate risks, reduce emissions, and meet local climate targets efficiently with ClimateView.

Key facts

Main Purpose:	To reduce local greenhouse gas emissions and improve climate resilience through targeted climate actions.
Mandated by:	Many local governments, states, and provinces worldwide as part of national or regional climate strategies. For instance, the U.S. encourages local climate action through initiatives like Climate Mayors and the Local Governments for Sustainability (ICLEI) network.
Key Focus Areas:	Energy transition, waste management, water conservation, emissions reduction, urban resilience, and sustainable transport.
Framework:	Aligns with local, state/provincial, and national climate strategies, like the U.S. Climate Mayors initiative and European Union climate targets.
Timeframe:	With ClimateView, most cities can develop an LCAP in 4-6 months, compared to the standard 9-12 months, ensuring faster alignment with local and national climate goals.
Update Frequency:	Typically updated every 5 years, though timing may vary based on local regulations but should be, according to for instance EU NetZero Cities, done continuously in an iterative and agile manner.
