climate action plan for internal operations

On June 14, 2016, the Sacramento City Council adopted the 2016 update to the Climate Action Plan for Internal Operations. The plan documents the City’s attainment of a 24% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from municipal operations from 2005 to 2013, exceeding adopted General Plan targets of a 22% reduction by 2020. The plan analyzes progress from early City initiatives, such as building retrofits, solar photovoltaic installations, streetlight conversions, and water management. Strategies in the plan chart a path to attain a full 33% reduction in municipal GHG emissions by 2020.
