Supporting the Milpitas Climate Action Plan Update

Action Plan Feedback: We're now collecting feedback to help shape our Climate Action Plan with your priorities. Visit the Action Plan Feedback page to take 6 short surveys on where we should focus in each of the sectors of the plan.


Protecting the environment and reducing our community's climate impact continue to be a City Council and community priority.  The City of Milpitas is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life and ensuring the community is healthy, safe, and resilient.  The City adopted its first Climate Action Plan in 2013 and is now working on a CAP Update to meet long term State and world carbon reduction and sustainability goals.  Here you will find information on the CAP Update and how to get involved.

We need your input and ideas on best ways to reduce community carbon emissions; your feedback is critical to our success!

We've reduced greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) by 19% from our 2005 baseline. Let's keep the momentum going!

Between 2005 and 2015, the City of Milpitas increased electric energy usage by 16%.  But since 2018, much of this electricity is carbon free. 

Our new BART station is transforming mobility for Milpitas.

12% of California's energy use is related to water use, making conservation of water extra important.

Did you know that Milpitas is leading the way with its unique food scraps program? Reducing what you use and what is landfilled reduces carbon emissions. 

By the end of the century, we could experience between 50 and 100 days of extreme heat per year. How will that affect you?
