Client: City of Bell Gardens, CA
Project: Climate Action Plan

Blue Strike spearheaded the development of the Bell Gardens Climate Action Plan (BGCAP) to mitigate the impacts of climate change for the City of Bell Gardens. This project focuses on reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across critical sectors such as energy, transportation, and waste, while actively engaging the community to ensure the plan reflects local priorities and challenges.

The BGCAP incorporates equitable and actionable climate strategies, offering clear implementation pathways and monitoring measures to guide Bell Gardens’ transition toward sustainability and resilience. Designed as a collaborative effort, this plan aligns with regional and state climate goals, and will serve as a guide for City staff, elected officials, and residents to achieve long-term environmental objectives. As part of this initiative, Blue Strike:

• Conducted a baseline GHG inventory for municipal and community emissions

• Assessed the City’s vulnerability to climate change impacts, including heatwaves, flooding, and air quality degradation

• Engaged with the community, City Council, and regional stakeholders to shape actionable strategies

• Developed GHG reduction targets aligned with state goals for 2030, 2045, and 2050

• Created an implementation plan with prioritized actions, equity considerations, and funding strategies

• Designed a monitoring framework for progress tracking and reporting

• Finalized the BGCAP and assisted in its adoption by the City Council and Planning Commission
