RVAgreen 2050: Climate Equity Action Plan 2030 is an equity-centered, community based, integrated climate action and climate resilience plan. It is a roadmap that lays out how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 45% by 2030, achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and help the community adapt to Richmond’s climate impacts of extreme heat, precipitation, and flooding. 

The Plan’s Vision is that all Richmonders, regardless of their identity or neighborhood, thrive in a climate-resilient and climate-neutral community.

RVAgreen 2050 consists of five Pathways. Each Pathway provides detailed Strategies and Actions that help us reach the stated Goals of the Plan.

• Buildings & Energy - Accelerate the equitable transition to healthy, resilient, climate neutral buildings and energy sources.

• Community - Create an equitable and resilient Richmond while honoring and ensuring focus on community priorities.

• Environment: Invest in resilient, healthy, and equitably distributed natural resources throughout the community to support biodiversity and human well-being.

• Transportation & Mobility: Accelerate the transition for all to clean and equitable mobility.

• Waste Reduction & Recovery: Foster sustainable methods of waste reduction - wasting less, reusing more.
