In 2018, the City of Cleveland became the first city in Ohio to commit to powering itself with 100% clean energy. Building off our Cleveland Climate Action Plan, Mayor Frank G. Jackson announced his commitment to combat climate change by transitioning Cleveland to 100% clean and renewable energy sources by 2050.

At the heart of this goal is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 80% over a 2010 baseline by 2050. To help us achieve this critical goal, our core team developed the Cleveland’s Clean and Equitable Energy Future report, an action-oriented roadmap the City can follow for a successful implementation of the 100% clean energy transition by 2050.

In this meeting, the City of Cleveland’s Chief of Sustainability, Jason Wood, will provide an overview of the report and the various pathways the City could pursue to achieve its goal of 100% clean energy, while also generating millions of dollars of public benefits, including utility bill savings and reducing energy burden for residents, the creation of green jobs, and public health benefits for Clevelanders.

Sustainable Cleveland Manager, Cathi Lehn, will also provide updates on Circular Cleveland and upcoming events.
