BACKGROUND

On April 1, 2008 City Council adopted all seven measures recommended by the Climate Change Working Group (CCWG) to help lower the City's greenhouse gas emissions or "Carbon Footprint."  Although per capita emissions decreased by 17% between 1990 and 2005, Chula Vista's community-wide total emissions increased by 35% between the two years.  In the 1990s, the City had pledged to reduce its carbon emissions 20% below 1990 levels by 2010.  After adopting the measures, Council directed staff to develop more detailed implementation plans within 90 days.

The CCWG - made up of residents, businesses and community organization representatives - reviewed over 90 carbon reduction measures already implemented by other cities with the goal of determining which would be most applicable and effective in Chula Vista.  The CCWG met 12 times from June 2007 through March 2008, and ultimately chose seven measures to include in its final report.
