SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – The City of San Luis Obispo plans to be carbon neutral by 2030.
On Tuesday, the City Council adopted a plan for city operations to meet the goal.
The plan sets out to establish a path to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across city operations.
“We want to serve as a model for the community and demonstrate local leadership and action to address the climate crisis,” says San Luis Obispo City Manager Derek Johnson. “Climate leadership takes shape in many forms, from purchasing electric fleet vehicles, retrofitting buildings, generating energy at facilities makes a huge difference.”
City officials say their highest priority goals for the next two year fiscal years are related to climate action, open space and sustainable transportation.
