Oakland Climate Action Coalition

2020 Vision: Oakland is the most just and sustainable city in the country, led by low-income communities of color. Residents have improved access to healthy, locally grown food, safe affordable housing, clean air, safe water, local renewable energy, and affordable, reliable, frequent and accessible transit. Low-income communities are more resilient and prepared for disaster in the face of climate change. Oakland residents have gained a sense of community empowerment and self-determination such that they can provide for their own vital needs. Oakland has a localized green economy that provides green job and ownership opportunities to local residents that restore the environment. Oakland invests in building the health, wealth and resilience of communities most impacted by climate change. These actions have reduced Oakland's greenhouse gas emissions to 36% below 2005 levels, and put the City on track to 85% reductions by 2050. Mission: The Oakland Climate Action Coalition is a cross-sector coalition building a thriving green economy through equitable development and implementation of Oakland’s Energy and Climate Action goals.
