The Challenge

Led by the City of San Antonio's Department of Resilience and Sustainability (DRS) and Alamo Area Council of Governments (AACOG), the Alamo Area Climate Plan is the first-of-its-kind regional roadmap to reduce air pollution across their 13-county region.

The plan outlines a comprehensive strategy to cut greenhouse gas emissions, strengthen community resilience, and support sustainable economic growth. Overall, the Plan's goal is to reduce 2021 level emissions by 50% by 2050, with an 80% reduction as an aspirational goal.
