Climate Action Plan

In November 2006, Berkeley voters issued a bold call to action on global warming - to reduce our entire community's greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent by 2050. In March, 2008, the City released its Draft Climate Action Plan for public comment. View the revised draft Climate Action Plan:
