Cool Cities
Local Government Climate Action Survey 2008:
A Report on Climate Protection Policies and Practices in
San Mateo and Santa Clara County Jurisdictions
The Cool Cities Campaign of the Loma Prieta Chapter of the Sierra Club conducted in March 2008 a survey of climate protection policies and practices of city and county governments in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties. Twenty-eight of the 37 jurisdictions in the two-county area (76% by number, 90% by population) responded to the 30-question survey. This report presents results from the survey and provides a snapshot of local government planning and actions on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions. The purpose of this report is to increase awareness of the state of climate action by local governments in our area, to facilitate the exchange of best practices, and to advocate for decisive action worthy of the magnitude of the climate change challenge.
