Community Engagement Overview
Community members are encouraged to review and share input on the Draft Regional Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (RCAAP) to support resilience and sustainability for Napa’s future. Community engagement has ensured the RCAAP truly represents the diverse communities across the Napa region. Input is welcome as the plan enters the public review phase!
The Napa County Resource Conservation District (Napa RCD) has supported countywide community engagement efforts for the RCAAP. They continue to draw upon their local expertise, trusted partnerships, and technical skills in environmental conservation and sustainability to elevate RCAAP outreach. Learn more about Napa RCD by visiting Napa RCD (naparcd.org).

Community Meetings and Workshops
Community meetings and workshops provide an opportunity for residents and interested individuals to inform, consult, get involved, and collaborate with the County, Cities and Town on the RCAAP. Community meetings may feature a project team presentation, Q&A sessions, and group activities, with community input helping shape greenhouse gas reduction strategies, climate adaptation efforts, sustainability initiatives, and implementation programs.

Survey and Vision Boards
The survey helped identify community strengths, vulnerabilities, and priorities, with input from 310 respondents shaping the RCAAP to reflect voices from residents, businesses, nonprofits, advocacy groups, and frontline communities. It closed on August 21, and we appreciate everyone who participated.
Vision boards provided an interactive way for participants to share ideas, view others’ input, and respond to feedback. Designed to capture a wide range of perspectives to inform the RCAAP, the boards are now closed.
Pop-Up Events
Pop-up events were held across the region to engage residents, share information about the RCAAP, and promote opportunities for input. These events allowed community members to learn about the planning process, provide feedback, and stay involved, contributing valuable input that helped shape a sustainable future for Napa County.
Public Hearings
Public hearings are an opportunity for the community to voice support or concerns about the RCAAP with Napa County’s decisionmakers. Public hearings will include presentations to the Climate Action Committee (CAC) and public hearings to be held by the County and each individual City/Town. Once public hearings are scheduled, information will be provided here.
