<br />November 18, 2019, Work Session – Item 1 <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL <br />AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY <br /> <br /> Work Session: Climate Action Plan 2.0 Document Review and Consideration of Additional Strategies Meeting Date: November 18, 2019 Agenda Item Number: 1 Department: Central Services Staff Contact: Chelsea Clinton <br />www.eugene-or.gov Contact Telephone Number: 541-682-5649 <br /> <br />ISSUE STATEMENT The purpose of this work session is to share the first draft of the Climate Action Plan 2.0 document and to continue to consider additional actions City Council may want to include in the final CAP2.0 document. This work session is meant to be a continuation of the conversation from the October 16, 2019, CAP2.0 Transportation Fuels discussion as well as the October 28, 2019, CAP2.0 Energy Used in Buildings discussion. <br />BACKGROUND The City’s Climate Recovery Ordinance (Ordinance No: 20567) includes goals to 1) reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 7.6 percent annually through 2100, and 2) reduce fossil fuel use by 50 percent by 2030 compared to 2010 levels. The City is updating its Community CAP2.0 to create a roadmap to achieve the CRO goals. <br />Climate Action Plan 2.0 Equation In 2018, the City began the CAP2.0 process. As was provided in previous work sessions, the CAP2.0 Equation is a framework the City is using to summarize the community’s climate efforts. It shows that the path to reach our reduction target in 2030 is the sum of greenhouse gas reductions. As City Council moves toward finishing the CAP2.0, any additional strategies City Council chooses to pursue will be added to the Eugene Climate Collaborative Actions. The CRO calls for a 7.6 percent annual reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, or roughly a 790,000 MT CO2e annual reduction by 2030. 1. City’s Internal Climate Action Plan. This Plan includes the actions the City will take to reach the organization’s CRO goals. 2. Eugene Climate Collaborative Actions. The ECC actions include actions from 12 system-level organizations. The expected community impact of the combined actions by the ECC is a ghg reduction of around 40 percent of the 2030 target. The City of Eugene is included as a partner in the ECC and the City’s high-impact actions, such as the Transportation System Plan, are incorporated in these plans. 3. State legislation. The primary piece of climate legislation, House Bill 2020/Cap and Invest, did not pass during the 2019 legislative session.
