    City of San Antonio, TX: A Path for Climate Action & Adaptation

    San Antonio is one of the fastest-growing cities in the nation. We are working to plan for and accommodate an estimated one million additional residents that will be living in our community by 2040. It is our collective responsibility to prepare for a future that is projected to have hotter temperatures, longer droughts and more intense rain events. SA Climate Ready is San Antonio’s plan to meet the present and future challenges of a changing climate, building on actions already enacted for a low-carbon future. Mitigation and adaptation strategies in this plan address the needs of all residents while supporting the systems that advance our city’s resiliency.
