Document Description
City Council Approval for the adoption of the Climate Action Plan (CAP), implementing regulations or policies, which may require amendments to the Municipal Code and/or Land Development Code. Former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's Executive Order S-3-05 established the 2050 statewide GHG reduction target of 80 percent below 1990 levels. The City of San Diego has prepared a draft CAP that identifies measures to effectively meet greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets for 2020 and 2035, as "interim" targets for achieving the 2050 target. The CAP estimates the GHG emissions for the City of San Diego in the baseline year 2010 to be around 12.8 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MMT CO2e). By 2020 the CAP estimates the City's emissions would increase to 13.9 MMT CO2e, and to around 16.2 MMT CO2e by 2035. With implementation of the CAP, the City aims to reduce emissions 15 percent below the 2010 baseline by 2020 to around 10.9 MMT CO2e, and by a total of 49 percent by 2035 to 6.4 MMT CO2e. With implementation of the CAP, it is anticipated that the City would exceed its reduction target by 0.9 MMT CO2e in 2020 and 155,600 MT CO2e in 2035. The CAP relies on significantly City and regional actions, continued implementation of federal and state mandates, and five local strategies with associated action steps for target attainment. The five strategy areas are:
Water & Energy Efficient Buildings;
Clean & Renewable Energy;
Bicycling, Walking, Transit & Land Use;
Zero Waste; and
Climate Resilency.
Implementation of the CAP is divided into:
Early Actions (Adoption of the CAP-December 31, 2017),
Mid-term Actions (Jan 1, 2018-Dec. 31, 2020), and
Longer-Term Actions (2021-2035).
