This platform makes it easy and fun for community members to reduce their environmental impact. Users can select from a variety of green actions and track their progress while engaging in friendly competition with neighbors. Actions are simple everyday things that you can do to reduce your impact, and many also save you money. As actions are completed, the Climate Challenge will calculate household carbon reductions, cost savings, and other metrics using data specific to Sammamish and our region.

The Sammamish Climate Challenge was initiated in tandem with the adoption of the Sammamish Climate Action Plan (CAP). The overarching CAP goals were set by City Council direction in March 2023 and include:

• Achieving greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets that reduce sources of GHG emission by at least 50% by 2030, 75% by 2040, and 96% by 2050, compared to a 2019 baseline.
• Achieving a per capita Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) reduction by 30% by 2030, and 50% by 2050, compared to a 2016 baseline.
