Departments across the City are incorporating efforts to lower their emissions and limit the impacts of climate change.

In 2012, the City adopted its first Climate Action Plan (CAP), providing a roadmap for achieving our stringent community-wide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction goal of 25% by 2020 from a 2005 baseline.

In February 2019, the Fremont City Council adopted a Carbon Neutrality Resolution, setting a 55% GHG emissions reduction target from 2005 levels by 2030 and a goal to achieve long term carbon neutrality by 2045.

On October 10, 2023, Fremont adopted an updated Climate Action Plan, Climate Ready Fremont, to align with the 2045 carbon neutrality goal. More information is available on the City's webpage.
