Oakland Releases First Draft of Energy and Climate Action Plan

 The first draft of Oakand's Energy & Climate Action Plan was released on Earth Day 2010. It is one of the best municipal climate action plans to date, but still needs some work, especially with respect to including equity, energy security, and integrated economic development strategies throughout the plan.

The Local Clean Energy Alliance and Oakland Climate Action Coalition are refining our feedback and will submit our recommended changes to Oakland's Department of Public Works by the June 11 public comment deadline. For more information on the plan, or to submit your own feedback, please visit SustainableOakland.com.
