Energy & Climate Division
The Energy & Climate Division is committed to reducing the City’s greenhouse gas emissions through innovative strategies in energy, materials management, transportation, land use, and water treatment. Along with reducing its carbon footprint, the City is working to build a resilient community that can survive and thrive in the face of a changing climate.
We are acting locally to minimize impacts of climate change, while building a resilient and safe community for all.
Together to Zero can only be achieved if the whole community takes part. Here you can find actionable recommendations, strategies, and resources to help decarbonize your lifestyle.
The City is not starting from scratch on its quest for carbon neutrality. Many programs and projects are being implemented right now that set the Santa Barbara community up for success. Learn more here!
The City has a plan in moving Together to Zero and securing a sustainable future. In this section you'll find our Climate Action Plan update, and other plans and policies that provide the roadmap for a healthy and sustainable community.
