Greenwise Joint Venture

Greenwise Joint Venture is a high-impact nonprofit organization dedicated to making the Sacramento area the greenest region in the country and a hub for clean technology. Launched in 2010 by Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, the Greenwise initiative brought together over 275 experts and community leaders to identify challenges and opportunities in areas such as energy, green technology, urban design, waste management, and water conservation. In 2012, Greenwise Joint Venture became an independent nonprofit organization with a focus on creating jobs and promoting environmental stewardship in the Sacramento region, which includes the counties of El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba.
