- In October 2019, the City of San Antonio released the SA Climate Ready plan to meet the present and future challenges of a changing climate and to build on action toward a low-carbon future.
- SA Climate Ready includes strategies for adaptation and preparation for a changing climate, along with mitigation strategies, to reduce San Antonio’s GHG emissions.
- The City of San Antonio set a goal to make San Antonio carbon neutral by 2050, with interim goals of 41% reduction in total GHG emissions by 2030 and 71% by 2040.
- SA Climate Ready set interim goals to reduce transportation emissions by 47% by 2030 and 75% by 2040.
