County Climate Collaborative (SC4)
Climate Change in Santa Clara County
Climate change is resulting in higher temperatures, more frequent and intense extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and more severe droughts. These impacts pose intensifying risks to our residents, our environment, and the critical infrastructure in Santa Clara County. Immediate, collective action must be taken to adapt and reduce greenhouse gas emissions – keeping our communities safe and resilient, while promoting equity and quality of life for all.
No single entity or organization can solve the climate crisis alone. By organizing at the countywide scale, the Santa Clara County Climate Collaborative will amplify solutions and enable transformative change across individuals, communities, institutions, and the region as a whole.
This website serves as a central hub for information, resources, and updates from the Santa Clara County Climate Collaborative.
