The City Council of Chula Vista recently approved plans to implement strategies to reduce the community's vulnerability to climate change.

The decision made Chula Vista the first local government in Southern California to adopt a stand-alone, comprehensive climate adaptation plan. Adaptation strategies in the plan include measures to expand the city's urban forests, incorporate "cool" or reflective roofs, promote gray water and other water reuse, and design future development and municipal projects to be resilient to sea level rise.
