San Luis Obispo adopted an ambitious climate action goal in 2020: to become carbon-neutral by 2035. Since then, there's been progress in green electricity, active transportation, organic waste reduction, and more. Now the city has drafted a Climate Action Work Program that will guide its actions in the next several years.

Chris Read, San Luis Obispo's sustainability manager, talks about the six pillars of the Climate Action Plan, the role of environmental justice, and how community members can help shape future climate initiatives.
