What is a climate action plan?

At its basic level, climate action planning seeks to identify emissions reduction strategies that are informed by the goals, values, and priorities of our community. Cupertino has 5 Climate Action Plan objectives:

  • Demonstrate environmental leadership
  • Save money and promote green jobs
  • Comply with the letter and spirit of state environmental initiatives
  • Promote sustainable development
  • Support regional climate change efforts

Why is it important?

Climate Action Plan helps us to prioritize and monitor the progress we make as a City to a better, healthier, world. Climate action helps to:

  • Create a healthier environment
  • Improve human health
  • Create economic opportunities
  • Help families thrive



This work is not possible without the help from people like you.
