Reducing Wasted Food
We are committed to reducing wasted food 50 by
2030 across the region. Between 25 to 40 percent
of all food grown or imported into the U.S. and
Canada for human consumption is never eaten,
costing consumers and businesses 218 billion
annually in the U.S., and 31 billion in Canada.
The impact of food waste is felt not only in our
landfills and our wallets, but also in its carbon
footprint, amounting to 2.6 percent of U.S.
greenhouse gas emissions. Preventing wasted food
altogether, and promoting rescue and recovery
efforts downstream holds significant potential to
reduce greenhouse emissions on the West Coast.

Transforming Transportation
Together, our governments, utilities, businesses,
and residents are creating the transportation
system of the future from working at the local
level with urban transit agencies to procure only
zero-emission transit buses by 2025 to leveraging
state and provincial policies for zero emission
vehicle market transformation. Find out more
about how we seek to move people and goods in the
low-carbon economy of the future in our Vision
and Roadmap for a Low-Carbon Pacific Coast
Transportation System.

Transitioning to Clean Energy
We have experienced an increase in
non-hydroelectric renewable energy by over 250
from 2005 to 2015 in Pacific Coast jurisdictions
through investments in wind and solar and
policies like Renewable Portfolio Standards.

Decarbonizing Buildings
Weve committed to implementing commercial
building energy efficiency benchmarking and
disclosure programs in 75 percent of all
building square footage on the Pacific Coast.
