Mayor Todd Gloria signed into law an update to the city's Climate Action Plan Wednesday, which includes setting a goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2035.
"There is no time to wait to take climate action. Thankfully, by including the voices and concerns of the people who have suffered the most under climate inequity, our Climate Action Plan will ensure our city does our part for the global community while working toward our goal of providing every San Diegan the clean and healthy community they deserve," City Council President Sean Elo-Rivera said when the update was approved last week.
"Now more than ever, the city is positioned to bring forth a sustainable future for all by strengthening its commitment to greater tree canopy, safer streets, cleaner air and healthier neighborhoods," Elo-Rivera added. San Diego has more than 400 municipal facilities burning natural gas to heat water and indoor spaces, and more than 4,000 fleet vehicles on the road each day. The plan outlines emission-reduction opportunities and describes specific projects, programs and policies to enable the city to meet its goals.
A complete implementation plan will be drafted before next year's budget proposal, and each department responsible for CAP actions will be required to provide annual work plans to show how they will carry out the plan's identified strategies."The 2022 Climate Action Plan remains a model for the country; achieving the CAP's ambitious goals will produce a sustainable future for San Diegans," said Councilman Joe LaCava, who chairs the council's Environment Committee.
Additional plans outlined in the update include reducing and diverting at least 90% of waste away from the landfill by 2035, restoring 700 acres of wetlands and related habitats as carbon sink, and achieving 35% tree canopy coverage by"planting and maintaining tens of thousands of trees, focused first in underserved communities that are vulnerable to extreme heat."
