Climate Action Plan Update - CAP 2.0

Cupertino's Climate Action Plan 2.0 was adopted by City Council on August 16, 2022. Thank you to all the contributing community members who helped shape this important document.
Please visit cupertino.org/climateaction to stay up to date with the implementation progress.

The City of Cupertino’s Climate Action Plan 2.0 is designed to be a blueprint of our community’s response to the challenges posed by climate change, recognizing our responsibility as an emissions generator and as a guardian of our locality and all of its members. We need you, the citizens of Cupertino, to help us form the blueprint!

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.
