The mayor's office said the study is intended to help the city and its partners plan for the potential workforce needs and job impacts of building decarbonization policies.
City Mayor Todd Gloria's office Friday released a study of building decarbonization policies, as a way to gauge impacts on the San Diego workforce via an ongoing clean-energy transition.
"We understand that a highly skilled and well-compensated workforce is necessary to decarbonize our built environment and electrify our transportation sector," Gloria said."That's why we're proactively analyzing the impacts of our emissions-reduction efforts on working San Diegans. City officials worked with The Building Electrification Institute and Inclusive Economics to assess near-term and direct impacts of those specific policies on jobs related to gas infrastructure, utilities and other construction trades in San Diego.
"We have seen this first-hand in San Diego, where forward-thinking labor leaders and city staff have demonstrated a solutions-oriented approach that will chart the path toward building decarbonization while also lifting up local workers," Tatum said. As part of its climate action plan, the city has proposed to upgrade all municipal facilities to achieve zero-carbon emissions by 2035, and have a building code that matches state requirements to shift new construction away from fossil fuel use, and increase electric vehicle charging at new residential and commercial buildings.
