"That should be a wake up call for all of us that our 2030 carbon neutrality goals are not just going to happen - that we're going to have to keep working for them and find ways to push even further,"
"I'm not surprised that we aren't on track,"
San Jose's municipal greenhouse gas inventory shows emissions rose slightly from 2021 to 2023, leaving the city off track for its 2030 carbon neutrality target. The City Council formally acknowledged the shortfall in an administrative update to the Climate Smart San Jose plan approved Dec. 2. Emissions fell about 16% between 2017 and 2021, but 2023 levels reached roughly 5 million metric tons CO2e, 0.2% higher than 2021. City leaders say the city still meets earlier, less ambitious Climate Smart targets but must accelerate actions to achieve the adopted 2030 goal.
