Welcome to the California Sustainability Alliance

California has weathered some tough times. And now, with memories of critical shortages of energy and water resources still fresh in our minds, we are preparing for the unknown impacts of climate change.

Against this backdrop, our state’s policy makers have adopted the most aggressive energy and environmental goals in the nation. The good news is that many different types of resources and support are now available to help us achieve these ambitious goals.

The California Sustainability Alliance is bringing together all of the key stakeholders needed to overcome barriers to sustainability. Together, we are developing strategies to harvest the next generation of energy efficiency, building on the momentum created through complementary sustainability initiatives such as climate action, smart growth, renewable energy, water-use efficiency, waste management, and transportation management.

Together, we will discover new paths, while bridging gaps to find the most efficient and economic ways to achieve the "best of the best" in energy efficiency and sustainability.
