Mayor Newsom,
Can San Francisco lead the state and country in Climate Action Policy?
At the Clinton Initiative C40 (Largest Cities) Conference held recently in Seoul, participant Mayors stated that cities need to take a leadership role in global climate negotiations happening in Copenhagen this December. The US Conference of Mayors Conference is next week. Can San Francisco respond to the call by the international NGO community today for 40% GHG emissions reductions by 2020, modeling expectations for national policy?
Today the city is at 8%, with the goal of 20% reductions by 2012 based on 1990 levels. Toronto has set a 30% by 2020 goal, London a 60% goal by 2025, Copenhagen has set a goal of carbon neutrality by 2025.
