CLIMATE Action & SUSTAINABILITY

Located in the City Manager’s Office, the purpose of the Climate Action & Sustainability Program is to advance, coordinate, and accelerate City efforts to address climate change. Working closely with City departments, the program provides critical leadership and ongoing accountability to operationalize urgent climate initiatives.
