Recent Climate Progress
The first Cupertino Climate Action Plan (CAP) was adopted by City Council in 2014.
The City has initiated or completed 79% of the Near-Term measures from the 2014 CAP.
Annual emissions in Cupertino have reduced by 24% in 2018 compared to 2010.
The biggest reductions have been the result of purchasing clean electricity from Silicon Valley Clean Energy, and also the increasing adoption of fuel-efficient and electric vehicles.
In November 2020, the Sustainability Commission recommended a vision statements and draft goals for guiding the CAP update process.
In December 2020, the City Council held a study session to consider this vision statements and a draft goals for the next Climate Action Plan (CAP). The Council gave direction that the CAP should work towards the following set of targets.
