1. CONSIDERATION OF ACCEPTING THE 2009 GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
INVENTORY REPORT, CLIMATE PROTECTION MEASURES REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATIONS ON CLIMATE ADAPTATION STRATEGIES
As part of Chula Vista's climate protection program, staff has completed a greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions inventory for 2009 which indicates that annual citywide GHG
levels have increased since 1990, but have slightly decreased since the previous year. To
meet the City's commitment to reduce emissions 20% below 1990 levels, staff has
continued to implement the seven climate protection (or "mitigation") measures adopted
by City Council in 2008 which focus on lowering energy and water consumption,
installing renewable energy systems, promoting alternative fuel vehicle use, and
designing pedestrian and transit-friendly communities. Staff has also facilitated the
Climate Change Working Group`s development of a list of recommended strategies to
reduce Chula Vista's vulnerability to expected local climate change impacts (known as
climate "adaptation"). (Director of Conservation & Environmental Services)
