Fremont is actively implementing initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainability. The city’s updated Climate Action Plan, adopted in October 2023, aims to reduce community-wide emissions by 55% from 2005 levels by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2045. Key measures include promoting clean power, investing in electric vehicle infrastructure, and enhancing waste reduction efforts.
In line with these goals, Fremont transitioned to 100% renewable energy for residents in August 2025 through Ava Community Energy’s Renewable 100 service plan. Businesses are set to follow in 2026. This shift underscores the city’s dedication to clean energy and environmental stewardship.
Fremont is also focusing on urban forestry to enhance green spaces and combat climate change. In 2025, the city coordinated the planting of 1,540 trees in collaboration with community groups and residents, contributing to a healthier and more sustainable environment.
Residents are encouraged to participate in these efforts by adopting sustainable practices, utilizing renewable energy options, and engaging in community programs. Together, these actions contribute to a cleaner, healthier, and more resilient Fremont.
