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.

Over the past year and half, you have provided us with your ideas, concerns, priorities, and suggestions on climate change and solutions to help mitigate and adapt to that changing climate.
The Climate Action Plan 2.0 (CAP 2.0) draft has taken those thoughts and created a roadmap to help Cupertino achieve carbon neutrality by 2040. CAP 2.0 contains actions to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, incentives to take alternative methods of transportation, educate and encourage a zero-waste lifestyle, methods to conserve water, and preparations to adapt to changing climate risks.
