The prospect of staging the America’s Cup races for the first time in close proximity to an urban waterfront provides a tremendous opportunity to continue the City of San Francisco’s leadership role in resource conservation.
Both the City and the America’s Cup Event Authority are committed to minimizing the environmental impact of hosting the America’s Cup, with the goal of offering residents and visitors a truly sustainable event. The Event will be a carbon neutral and zero waste operation and will emphasize resource sustainability and environmental stewardship.
The recycling and waste reduction methods and services that have been developed in the City from the 1990’s through the present day will be on display for all to see and to set a new standard in sustainable events.
