  1. San Francisco’s Climate Protection Strategy Johanna Partin Director of Climate Protection Initiatives Office of Mayor Gavin Newsom

  2. San Francisco’s Climate Goals in Context • San Francisco Climate Action Plan (2004): 20% reduction in carbon emissions below 1990 levels by 2012 • Kyoto Protocol (1997): 7% reduction in carbon emissions below 1990 levels by 2012 • AB 32 (2007): 20% reduction in emissions below 1990 levels by 2020 • Governor’s Executive Order S-3-05: 80% reduction below 1990 levels by 2050

  3. San Francisco’s Progress on our Communitywide Carbon Inventory

  4. San Francisco’s Carbon Footprint

  5. Projected Sea Level Rise in San Francisco Bay

  6. Climate ActionGoal: Reduce CO2 to 20% below 1990 levels by 2012 • First in nation to certify CO2 emissions through 3rd party (CA Climate Registry) • Citywide Climate Action Plan • Departmental Climate Action Plans • SF Carbon Fund • Exploring Carbon Tax Currently 7% below 1990 levels

  7. Climate Strategy Basics: What our climate footprint tells us • Encourage people out of their cars and into other forms of transportation (public transit, biking, walking) • Orient new growth near transit and jobs • Incentivize use of less polluting cars • Use less energy • Replace fossil-fueled energy consumption with renewables • Send less to landfill • Build greener buildings • Plant more trees

  8. Clean TransportationGoal: Carbon neutral transportation system by 2030 • 58% Auto, 18% Transit, 6% Bike, 18% Walk • Public transit = only 1% of total communitywide emissions • Improving MUNI through the Transit Effectiveness Project and new transit developments (i.e. Central Subway) • Promoting commuting alternatives through incentives and mandates • Expanding the City’s bicycle network and programs • Completing and implementing City’s Pedestrian Master Plan • Congestion Pricing parking meters • “Greening” cars (taxis, rental cars, city fleet) • Using biodiesel and alternative fuels • Bay Area EV Corridor

  9. 100% of public transit is electric or B20 biodiesel Largest municipal electric fleet in country Largest municipal biodiesel (B20) fleet in country 43% increase in biking since 2007

  10. Existing Bike Path Network Planned Bike Path Network

  11. Energy Efficiency & Renewable EnergyGoal: Reduce 400,000 tons CO2/year through EE &50 MW in-city renewables by 2012 Energy Efficiency: • Municipal energy efficiency • Energy Watch program (commercial, multi-tenant buildings) • Resilient Homes (single family homes & 2-4 unit buildings) • Zero Energy Homes Renewable Energy: • Municipal hydro, solar, methane • GoSolar SF • Emerging technologies (ocean power, urban wind, co-gen) • San Francisco Sustainable Financing (SF2) program

  12. Municipal electricity is carbon neutral 8.5 MW solar PV (+ 5 MW Sunset project) 3 MW methane Launching SWH & urban wind programs

  13. Zero WasteGoal: 75% diversion by 2010 • Curbside recycling/ composting • Banned plastic bags in supermarkets & drugstores • Banned styrofoam • Banned bottled water in City departments • Mandatory recycling & composting (effective 10/21/09) 72% diversion rate

  14. Green Building • Toughest green building standards in the country • LEED Silver required for municipal buildings and commercial new construction and large retrofits • Mandatory recycling of construction debris

  15. Urban ForestGoal: Plant & maintain 25,000 new trees by 2012 Met goal in 2009 668,000 trees (12% canopy) offsetting 2,500,000 pounds CO2 annually
