Cleveland’s tenth Sustainability Summit opened Thursday with the release of the city’s latest plan to deal with climate change.

As part of the city’s goal to reduce greenhouse gases, Cleveland’s Chief of Sustainability Matt Gray announced the city’s goal to reach 100 percent clean renewable energy by 2050.

“When we say that, that’s everything,” said Gray. “That’s what residents are using, that’s what businesses are using – industry, government, the whole city.”

Gray said to reach the goal, the city would turn to solar and wind energy plus encourage energy efficiency in businesses and homes.

According to the Sierra Club, Cleveland is the first city in Ohio to commit to this goal. 82 other cities nationwide have already made a similar pledge.

Actions included in the plan’s 28 objectives include:
