City of Sunnyvale recently issued the following announcement.
The Sunnyvale Climate Action Playbook sets a vision for the City of Sunnyvale to reduce carbon emissions by 2050. It builds upon our past success and integrates new, bold, breakthrough ideas generated by our community. Above all, it paves the path towards becoming a resilient and sustainable Sunnyvale through collective action.
This website is organized into three main components linked from the top right corner: this Scoreboard page highlights key achievements under each Strategy, progress on our Next Moves, and key metrics that highlight our journey so far; the Playbook page where you can learn more about the Climate Action Playbook and its Strategies, Plays, and targets; and the Blog where you can keep abreast of the newest developments.
Current Score
The Climate Action Playbook is a plan for how our community can reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and address climate change. Just as a sports playbook identifies a team’s winning strategies for achieving success on the field, the Climate Action Playbook contains winning strategies to meet California’s new targets for deeper emissions reductions. We are aiming to reduce emissions by:
- 56% below 1990 levels by 2030 (exceeding the State’s 40% by 2030 target), and
- 80% below 1990 levels by 2050.
- Six key Strategies that outline the overarching approach for bold climate action
- Eighteen Plays within the Strategies that identify areas for action and measurable targets to define progress
- Game Plan 2022, which contains 46 “Next Moves” (specific actions) that the City and community can collectively take to address climate change.
