About the Division:

In February 2018, the City of San José was one of the first U.S. cities to adopt a Paris Agreement-aligned climate action plan: Climate Smart San José. The plan puts forth bold climate actions to drastically increase the community’s energy efficiency and investment in renewable energy and dramatically reduce car emissions, all while promoting culturally vibrant neighborhoods. The plan brings together City departments, related agencies, the private sector, and, ultimately, our residents, and community groups to significantly change how cities work – pivoting from one that is City-centric into one that is people-focused. Climate Smart San José leverages San José’s strength in innovation. As the capital of Silicon Valley, the Plan integrates the important role San José plays supporting emerging technology, and models innovative approaches to advance future climate solutions. In 2022, the City adopted a carbon neutrality by 2030 goal, thereby accelerating Climate Smart San José’s greenhouse gas reduction efforts.
