Welcome to the Berkeley Climate Action community forum
In November 2006, Berkeley voters issued a bold call to action on global warming - reduce our community's greenhouse gas emissions by 80% below 2000 levels by 2050 (at least 2% per year). On this site you will find the plan Berkeley City Council adopted to achieve that goal as well as a wealth of other Berkeley-specific resources to help each one of us become part of our city's growing climate protection movement.
