Phoenix Climate Action: Partnering for a Resilient Future and Making Phoenix the Most Sustainable Desert City.
The City of Phoenix Office of Sustainability leads the implementation of the Climate Action Plan, advancing the City’s 2050 goals for carbon neutrality, clean air, zero waste, and resilient communities.

Electric Vehicles
The goal is to advance transportation electrification and charging infrastructure citywide by including EV readiness in the 2024 Building Code, expanding charging stations, and electrifying city fleets to support the Transportation Electrification Action Plan.
