Land Use & Climate Change

Policy Contact: Policy Focus:

Stakeholders have the opportunity to advance health promoting policies by participating in climate change planning. The Sustainable Community Strategy process outlined by SB 375 is designed to curb urban sprawl and incentivize alternative modes of transportation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These changes also have the potential to decrease obesity and chronic disease rates by creating compact communities with bikeable and walkable streets.

This campaign will inform and mobilize stakeholders to effectively participate in planning decisions that create policies to help reduce reliance on cars, improve air quality, and increase opportunities for physical activity.
