The Climate Program leads City efforts to implement strategies that address the challenges of climate change for Austin.
Three goals guide this work:
1. Carbon neutrality for City of Austin operations by 2020.
2. Net-zero community-wide greenhouse gases by 2050.
3. Effective strategies for resilience in the face of climate-related threats.
But it’s going to take more than City action to protect and preserve what’s best about Austin. Everyone has to do their part to cut carbon.
