Boise's 2021 Climate Action Roadmap commits the city to 100% clean electricity by 2035 and net-zero carbon emissions across municipal operations and the broader community by 2050.
Adopted by Boise City Council in 2021, the Climate Action Roadmap sets binding municipal targets and aspirational community-wide goals across energy, transportation, buildings, waste, and natural systems. Key actions include partnering with Idaho Power on a clean-energy tariff, electrifying the city fleet, expanding building energy benchmarking, and protecting the Boise Foothills as a carbon sink. Implementation is tracked annually through public dashboards. The roadmap shapes capital budgets and zoning incentives but does not directly regulate private property without a separate code amendment.
Roadmap is policy, not direct regulation. Enforcement happens via downstream code changes such as building energy standards, idling rules, and tree protections.
