Core values

- **Addressing Climate Change and Equity**: The 2030 Equitable Climate Action Plan (ECAP) aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 56% relative to 2005 levels and achieve carbon neutrality by 2045, with a strong focus on equity and community engagement to benefit frontline communities[1][2].
- **Improving Quality of Life**: The ECAP and other plans, such as the Urban Forest Plan, address various quality of life issues, including cleaner air, improved public safety, enhanced mental and physical health, and beautification of the city[1][3].
- **Promoting Positive Change**: Initiatives like the Downtown Oakland Specific Plan (DOSP) aim to create more housing, jobs, and economic opportunities, especially in communities of color, while also enhancing public services, local businesses, and cultural heritage[4].
- **Community Well-being**: These plans emphasize community engagement, racial equity, and the distribution of benefits to previously neglected populations, which are crucial for improving community well-being and reducing disparities[1][2][4].
