Online Resources

The City of Sunnyvale creates and shares resources like guides for electrification and tools to track carbon emissions. We also connect the community through social media and other communication channels. Find the Environmental Services team at community events throughout the year.

Keeping this Scoreboard site up to date is just one way we provide online resources. Check out the “Be Part of the Solution” page for more. Silicon Valley Clean Energy's (SVCE) eHub is another great online resource. It provides a one-stop resource for electrifying your home, business, and transportation. The eHub offers trainings, DIY resources and connections to trusted vendors.

Engagement Across Sectors

The City of Sunnyvale has implemented the Sustainability Speaker Series since 2017. This series hosts experts who cover topics from air quality to food access. Over the last seven years, this program has engaged 70-125 people per event.   

Additional efforts will include piloting a youth climate classroom program and developing relationships with our largest employers to collaborate on climate action.

Play 5.2: Track and Share Data and Tools

Track and Share Data and Tools

Increasing the accessibility of the City's climate action data is a key Move in the Playbook. The City now publishes greenhouse gas emission inventory annually to support our data tracking and transparency goals. This Scoreboard is also a key tool used to evaluate and share progress on climate action. Now, our community can interact with our Playbook and discover key actions to help the City achieve our goals.
