Oakland Energy and Climate Action Plan

The City of Oakland is committed to becoming a model sustainable city. Optimizing our use of energy and minimizing associated energy costs and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are important components of this vision. The City is currently developing an Energy and Climate Action Plan to identify, evaluate and prioritize opportunities to reduce energy consumption and GHG emissions in its own government operations and throughout the Oakland community.

Oakland Sustainable Community Development Initiative
