SINCE OUR LAUNCH IN 2015, WE'VE BUILT A PLAYBOOK FOR HOW TO WIN BOLD CLIMATE POLICIES IN SAN DIEGO AND ORANGE COUNTIES.
The latest climate science shows that we must double down to stop the worst impacts of the climate crisis. We’re all in.
EXECUTIVE LETTER
“I’m proud of what we’ve built over the past five years, but I know that we must go further, faster to avoid the worst impacts of the climate crisis.
We’re building a roadmap to Zero Carbon in Southern California and we’ll need your help to enact the policies that show what’s possible when our communities rise up for climate, jobs, and justice.”
- Nicole Capretz, CAC Founder and Executive Director
We’re advancing Zero Carbon solutions to protect the people and places we love.
Through our fight for 100% clean energy, we are shifting power from the ground up.

With the launch of the San Diego Green New Deal Alliance earlier this year, we’re joining hands with 50+ organizations to build a grassroots movement for climate, jobs, and justice in San Diego.
Together, we've built four San Diego Green New Deal Working Groups with 80 active community members.
We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to remake our economy and environment to benefit the safety, wellbeing, and prosperity of everyone.
That’s why we’re rising to win the climate solutions that science demands and fighting for a just transition.
Our Alliance is gaining momentum in the fight for a sustainable and just recovery from the COVID-19 crisis.
Our Co-Director of Policy, Maleeka Marsden, was appointed to the Regional COVID-19 Taskforce for Equitable Recovery.
San Diego Mayor-Elect, Todd Gloria, listed the San Diego Green New Deal as a key strategy to ensure a just and sustainable recovery.
BACK TO WORK SD: A BLUEPRINT FOR OUR RECOVERY
This year, climate justice prevailed at the County.
After a decade of fighting the County of San Diego over their fatally-flawed Climate Action Plans, we finally beat them in court and they've been ordered to go back to the drawing board. With new, climate-champions set to take office in 2021, we're excited to work toward a zero carbon Climate Action Plan for the County of San Diego.

ENCINITAS IS GOING ALL-ELECTRIC
We worked with Encinitas to update their Climate Action Plan with a commitment to power new homes and buildings with clean electricity - a key climate strategy!
In 2021, we're ready to #ElectrifyEverything!
