San Diego is no longer the top municipality when it comes to a Climate Action Plan, which is aimed at reducing the region’s carbon footprint.
Climate advocates are giving the region mixed reviews when it comes to developing climate action plans. KPBS Environment Reporter Erik Anderson says that may cost the region access to state and federal funding.
More than half of the region’s municipalities have climate action plans , and the latest report card singles out three examples of good ones. La Mesa’s 79.5 mark noted the city’s efforts to work with partners on regional transportation issues and to promote clean energy. Coronado’s plan was criticized for not creating change quickly enough and the County of San Diego is still in a long process to develop a plan after previous efforts were repeatedly challenged and rejected by the courts.
