The City of San José developed a community-wide climate action plan called Climate Smart San José in 2018 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Climate Smart San José was one of the first plans aligned with the Paris Climate Agreement, promoting bold goals around energy efficiency, the electrification of buildings, transportation and water conservation.
In June 2022, San José City Council revised the City’s sustainability action plan and introduced a new detailed plan Pathway to Carbon Neutrality by 2030. With ambitious goals and strong plans to achieve them, San José is helping accelerate climate action around the world by leading the way with our community.
