These resources are just to help you get started and provide some background on Climate Smart and clean energy in San José. We encourage you to do more research on your chosen theme as you prepare your video. Think about what the City government as well as residents currently are doing and also should do to be more sustainable. You can look at climate plans beyond San José to get inspired.
