Pittsburg Sustainability Overview

The State's Climate Adaptation Strategy outlines many of the changes the State expect in our region based on recent and projected changes in temperature, precipitation, and sea levels. Locally in Pittsburg the effects may include:

• Drought and water shortages
• Flooding of shorelines
• Extreme heat events and related illness
• Worsening local air quality and related respiratory illnesses
• Loss of natural habitat
• Increase in disease carrying insects

With these potential impacts in mind, and in concert with the City's General Plan Update (Envision Pittsburg), the City is developing its Sustainability Plan.  The Sustainability Plan (known in other Cities as a Climate Action Plan) began with an updated Greenhouse Gas Inventory and is currently in development. To be successful, comprehensive, and inclusive, community engagement and participation is paramount!  Please follow the Envision Pittsburg webpage for project contacts, public meeting, and upcoming community workshops to share your point of view and shape the future of Pittsburg.

Greenhouse Gas Inventory 

In 2019, the City completed an inventory of Pittsburg’s greenhouse gas emissions (the gases that contribute to climate change). This inventory will help develop strategies for reducing our emissions by targeting the largest sources.
