Greenhouse san diego

Speaker 1: There is a need for more housing, infrastructure and transportation, but how can San Diego county accommodate growth while cutting greenhouse gas emissions? That's what supervisors weighed as they updated progress on the climate action plan KPBS environment reporter Eric Anderson has been covering this and joins us to talk about how the county is reaching its goals.

Eric welcome. Thank you, Jay. So what did county staff have to say about the progress on the county's climate action planning? Yesterday's update? Speaker 2: Well, county staff came to the board of supervisors to let them know where they are in the process.

And, uh, that was really kind of a point of contention of the meeting, uh, because they still seem to be in the, kind of like the first third of the effort and they don't expect to be done uh, this year, uh, or not even until actually the end of next year. Uh, one of the, uh, folks who came to the meeting, um, to talk about the plan and encourage the supervisors also had this, uh, this is Noah Harris or the climate action camp. And he had this to say, uh, about the process.

Speaker 3: We are deeply alarmed at the delay presented today, um, which will push the caps adoption into late 20, As you've heard we're in a climate emergency, we have to slash emissions as soon as possible to stop the worst impacts of the climate crisis. So he is basically saying that he wants to see this thing done faster. Um, county officials say they want to make sure they do it right. Uh, so that it will stand up to legal screws.

It seems like environmentalist though are saying that not having that climate action plan means the county is not addressing climate change or at least not fast enough. Is that the case? Well, supervisor's countered that assertion. Uh, Nathan Fletcher said yesterday that look, this doesn't mean that we're going to stop everything else we're doing. We're still going to try and reduce emissions with other policies and actions. We're still going to try to be a little bit smarter about the growth that we approve so that we can address the housing crisis without increasing greenhouse gas emissions.

Uh, I think the key though, to having this plan in place is it would set that clear, uh, roadmap, roadmap, uh, with benchmarks, uh, for the county to shoot for. They say they will want to try and decarbonize San Diego county and get to a zero carbon space where if they are emitting carbon, um, they made up for it by, uh, having mitigation projects that reduce or sequester carbon on the other.

And so that they have a zero baseline and they'd like that to happen sometime between and So they have some ambitious goals and they are squarely, uh, looking at this idea that, uh, San Diego county's future is closely tied to the county's ability, uh, to reduce its carbon footprint. One of the primary topics in the climate action plan is where to build homes.

Talk to us about that. Uh, many of these things, as you might think, do not exist in a vacuum. It's not just cars, it's not just houses, but where to build homes can affect many other things. For example, if you build homes in clusters, around transportation hubs, this idea of smart growth, what you're doing is you're putting people into more walkable communities, which will reduce their Alliance on cars and trucks and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. If they are living close to where they work or where they go to school or where they need to shop, then that reduces the number of miles that they have to travel.

If they have to travel miles at all in a car to get to those places, it's changing the way the county develops. Notify me when this product is available:.
