2027 Climate Action Plan Update and 2035 Carbon-Neutrality Goal

Summary

The city's climate report shows emissions down but short of the 2035 carbon-neutral pace, mostly because of regional driving and hard-to-retrofit buildings. The council kept the ambitious goal and green-lit nine ideas for the 2027 update, including bike share, bulk solar purchases, and renter-focused programs.
