Cupertino’s path toward creating a healthy, livable and vibrant place for its current and future residents to learn, work and play is outlined in its Climate Action Plan. Cupertino’s Climate Action Plan ( CAP) is a strategy to put Cupertino on the path to achieve a 15% reduction in carbon emissions by the year 2020, 49% reduction by 2035 and 83% by 2050. The plan builds on the City’s broad past and ongoing environmental efforts and identified opportunities of additional action to achieve emissions reduction and support sustainable programs and practices in the City.
