New Jersey's Comprehensive Climate Action Plan

New Jersey’s Comprehensive Climate Action Plan

April 14, 2026, 2PM – 3:30PM
This informational webinar is open to the public and will feature simultaneous Spanish translation.

Join the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) for an overview of the 2025 New Jersey Comprehensive Climate Action Plan (CCAP). The CCAP is an all-encompassing plan for how the State will reduce greenhouse gas emissions across all sectors to achieve its “80×50” goal. This goal calls for an 80 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from 2006 levels by 2050, consistent with New Jersey’s Global Warming Response Act.

The CCAP serves as an update to the State’s 2020 Global Warming Response Act 80×50 Report and builds on the State’s 2024 Priority Climate Action Plan to document progress, identify gaps, and introduce new actions that will bring New Jersey closer to achieving the 80×50 goal. The CCAP includes 31 emissions reduction measures related to transportation, buildings, electricity generation, industry, waste management and agriculture, highly warming climate pollutants, and carbon sequestration within natural and working lands. The webinar will provide an inventory of greenhouse gas emissions, summarize greenhouse gas reduction accomplishments to date, and outline strategies for reducing greenhouse gases even further through a broad suite of emissions reductions measures.
