The Climate Action & Adaptation Plan (CAAP) for the City of San Antonio is a comprehensive roadmap for addressing the challenges of climate change and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. The plan outlines both mitigation and adaptation strategies. Key mitigation efforts focus on increasing carbon-free energy, reducing energy consumption in buildings and transportation, advancing a circular economy, promoting biodiversity, and educating the community. Adaptation strategies include enhancing infrastructure resilience, strengthening public health systems, improving emergency management, protecting green infrastructure, ensuring local food security, and raising awareness. A central principle of the CAAP is climate equity, aiming to ensure an equitable, safe, affordable, and prosperous future for all San Antonians.
