A sustainable San Antonio has a thriving economy, a healthy environment, and an inclusive and fair community.
The SA Climate Ready Plan, or CAAP plan was adopted on October 17, 2019, is a roadmap for enhancing our community’s quality of life and overall resilience while balancing the impact of our expected growth of 1.1 million people by 2040 against the protection of our economic, environmental, and social resources.
The Office of Sustainability is researching new and innovative solutions to add to our updated plan scheduled to be released in late 2025. The department has partnered with the Alamo Area Council of Governments to develop a plan that will incorporate strategies that will positively affect our region. Look for our teams out this fall to find out more about these efforts.
