The Austin Climate Equity Plan was initially proposed in 2015 but was updated and adopted by Austin's City Council on September 2021. The plan highlights the impacts of climate change felt by the different communities and suggests the goal of equitably reaching net-zero community-wide greenhouse gas emissions by 2040.
The plan is composed of 17 goals and 74 strategies, among those, are the creation of Green Jobs through Entrepreneurship, Sustainable infrastructure building, Transportation Electrification, Land use, Food, and Product Consumption. All of these had the input of nearly 200 community members with the intentional focus of engaging racially and economically diverse residents.
