Climate Change Action
Climate change impacts everyone in San Mateo County, from rising sea levels to increased wildfire risk and extreme weather. Together, we can take meaningful steps to build a resilient future for all.
How to Take Action
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions with our resources.

Electrification & Energy Efficiency
Switching from conventional gas appliances to electric appliances can help save money and cut greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. Learn more about rebates and incentives provided by the Bay Area Regional Energy Network (BayREN).
We offer resources like the Check-It-Out! Home Energy & Water Saving Toolkit, available in libraries across San Mateo County. This toolkit provides free tools to help you assess and improve your home’s energy and water efficiency. Reserve a toolkit from your local library and start saving today.

Youth Climate Action
The San Mateo County Youth Climate Ambassadors (YCA) provides high school students with opportunities to learn about climate issues and implement solutions in their communities.

Preventing Food Waste
When excess food ends up in landfills, it releases methane, a greenhouse gas more potent than carbon dioxide. By reducing food waste and composting kitchen scraps, you can help combat climate change.
