Climate Action Planning - Climate Change Working Group

The Climate Change Working Group (CCWG), which is comprised of residents, businesses, and community organization representatives, helps the City in developing climate-related programs and policies.  The goal of the City's climate protection program is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 20% below 1990 levels as outlined in the original Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Reduction Plan.  As of 2008, municipal emissions have decreased 43%, while community emissions have increased by 29% compared to 1990 levels.  

Climate Mitigation

In 2008, the CCWG reviewed over 90 carbon reduction measures and ultimately chose seven measures to recommend to City Council.  The measures were designed to reduce or "mitigate" climate change impacts by reducing greenhouse gas emissions within Chula Vista.

Climate Adaptation

In October 2009, the City Council directed the CCWG to evaluate how the City could "adapt" to potential climate change impacts.  The group will be meeting through 2010 to develop recommendations based on Chula Vista's vulnerabilities and risks to climate change.
