Pittsburg Sustainability Overview

The State's Climate Adaptation Strategy outlines many of the changes the State expect in our region based on recent and projected changes in temperature, precipitation, and sea levels. Locally in Pittsburg the effects may include:

  • Drought and water shortages
  • Flooding of shorelines
  • Extreme heat events and related illness
  • Worsening local air quality and related respiratory illnesses
  • Loss of natural habitat
  • Increase in disease carrying insects

Greenhouse Gas Inventory 

In 2019, the City completed an inventory of Pittsburg’s greenhouse gas emissions (the gases that contribute to climate change). This inventory will help develop strategies for reducing our emissions by targeting the largest sources.
