TARGET SETTING

• Why Set a Target?
• Provides political and community commitment to
  program goals
• Creates framework for emissions reduction
  strategies
• Assures local efforts are in accord with state
  policies
• Provides a benchmark for measuring success

TARGET SETTING

• Timeframe
• Baseline year
• ? 1990 in Kyoto Accord AB 32
• ? 2005 in Citys Greenhouse Gas Emissions
  Analysis
• Target year(s)
• ? 2020 and 2050 in AB 32
• ? Can be short term long term goals

5
TARGET SETTING

• Reduction Amount
• Scientific Recommendations
• ? Global concentration of greenhouse gases needs
  to stabilize at 450 parts-per-million by volume
  CO2e by 2050
• ? To achieve this, emissions from industrialized
  countries would need to be reduced 25-40
  below 1990 levels by 2020, and 80-95 below
  1990 levels by 2050
