The Sheffield Carbon Reduction Framework looks at how residents and businesses can work together to reduce the city’s carbon emissions.
The city council report focuses on housing, business and transport and advises residents how to contribute.
One initiative in the home is the opportunity to hire a smart meter to check energy use.
The blueprint will be debated by the council’s cabinet at a meeting on Wednesday.
One of the aims is to generate more of the city’s energy locally and and provide a new public transport infrastructure.
The council has already invested in a project where council services and staff are using electric and gas powered vehicles.
Councillor Shaffaq Mohammed, cabinet member for climate change and local environment, said: “We recognise that we cannot reduce the amount of carbon used in the city overnight, but by working together with residents and businesses we can make a big difference.”
