About

We advance a resilient and sustainable San Antonio through practical and data-driven programs in:

  • community resilience
  • energy management
  • sustainable infrastructure

Our work strengthens neighborhoods, improves public health and supports economic opportunity across the city.

By collaborating with City departments, businesses, community groups and regional partners, we address real challenges like:

  • rising energy costs
  • climate stressors
  • aging infrastructure

Our solutions are measurable, equitable and effective. Through planning, education and implementation, we help ensure San Antonio remains a great place to live, work and play today and for generations to come.

Sustainability means protecting and improving the environment, quality of life and economic vitality for all residents and future generations. We do this through programs and policies that are efficient, equitable and environmentally sound.

Resilience for our City focused on San Antonians' capacity, in connection with our social, economic, physical and environmental systems, to prepare for, respond to, recover, adapt and thrive during:

  • shocks: sudden disastrous events
  • stresses: daily, long-term challenges

The impact of a shock is not felt equally and can be worsened by stresses. Shocks and stresses can affect many aspects of life, including:

  • our physical and natural environment
  • economy
  • health
  • safety
  • social welfare
