(Photo:* [**Credit:doidam10*](https://www.istockphoto.com/portfolio/doidam10?mediatype=photography&ref=communityforwardredlands.com)**)* ## Survey launched as Redlands aims to overhaul Climate Action Plan ### Residents invited to shape strategies to lower emissions REDLANDS, Calif. – The city of Redlands is inviting residents to participate in a survey to help shape its updated Climate Action Plan (CAP) as the city adapts to evolving climate regulations and technologies. **Why it matters:** A [recent report](https://www.communityforwardredlands.com/report-shows-local-greenhouse-gas-emissions-rise-after-years-of-ineffective-policy/) on local greenhouse gas emissions reveals that Redlands' 2017 Climate Action Plan (CAP) has been ineffective in meeting local emission targets. Meanwhile, the state of California has implemented new stricter guidelines for emission reduction by 2050. **Details:** Redlands first adopted its CAP in 2017 alongside the 2035 General Plan, aiming to align city policies with California’s goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, according to a recent study, the city has “not monitored progress since the 2017 CAP was prepared,” and emissions have risen 11% between 2015 and 2022\. The brief survey is available online until Oct. 20. [The survey is available in English here.](https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/5RBLCW2?ref=communityforwardredlands.com) [The survey is available in Spanish here.](https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/652W6G8?ref=communityforwardredlands.com) Read more about where emissions are coming from in Redlands and what the survey is asking residents: [Survey launched as Redlands aims to overhaul Climate Action PlanResidents invited to shape new strategies for meeting stricter state emission guidelines by 2050![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f5/51/f5517707-3f50-4c01-a20b-337e3a8ce042/content/images/icon/community-forward-Redlands--1--64.png)Community Forward RedlandsStephanie Hastings Miranda![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f5/51/f5517707-3f50-4c01-a20b-337e3a8ce042/content/images/thumbnail/iStock-1431928056.jpg)](https://www.communityforwardredlands.com/survey-launched-as-redlands-aims-to-overhaul-climate-action-plan/) #### NEWS BRIEF 🚔 **Man arrested in violent road rage:** A Colton man faces charges following a road rage incident that began on California Street in Redlands and escalated onto eastbound Interstate 10, resulting in gunfire.
