In 2017, City Council set a goal to become carbon neutral by 2050 and adapt to current and future climate impact. On June 22, 2017, City Council passed Resolution No. 2017-06-22-0031R (PDF) in support of the Paris Climate Agreement; directing city staff to develop a plan to help San Antonio meet the objectives of this agreement.
