Environmental Sustainability
Creating an environmentally sustainable community has always been a top priority in Solana Beach. Since becoming the first City in the State of California to ban smoking on its public beaches in 2003, Solana Beach has been a trail blazer for municipal environmental action--the first to ban plastic bags, the first to establish a Community Choice Energy program, and more. To emphasize the urgency of climate change and environmental degradation, City Council declared a Climate Emergency in 2020.
The City of Solana Beach continues to make strides towards sustainability through implementing the Climate Action Plan, adopting and enforcing environmental policies, and by holding monthly Climate & Resiliency Commission meetings.

- Climate Action Plan
-
In 2024, City Council adopted a Climate Action Plan (CAP) Update, updating the City's greenhouse gas emission reduction targets to align with State legislation and updating the measures and actions to account for changes in technology and research since 2017.
The City's original CAP was adopted in 2017 setting an ambitious target to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from City activities by 50% below 2010 levels by 2035.
In 2020, City Council updated the Climate Adaptation Chapter (Chapter 4) to incorporate the latest adaptation research and recommendations as well as to introduce environmental justice considerations.

The latest SANDAG GHG inventory completed in 2018 shows that the City has already reduced emissions by 40%.

The Climate & Resiliency Commission, formerly referred to as the Climate Action Commission, was established in November of 2015.
