The Port of San Diego Board of Port Commissioners set an important environmental goal at its monthly meeting on Tuesday, June 12.

The Board voted in support of setting a target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions along the tidelands, managed by the Port District, by 10 percent by the year 2020. The reduction will be based on emissions from a 2006 baseline year.

The Board also set a target to further reduce emissions 25 percent by the year 2035. This is a milestone in the Port's work on its Climate Mitigation and Adaptation Plan, known as the Climate Plan.

The Board of Port Commissioners will receive an update on a plan to prepare the Port of San Diego for sea level rise and other predicted impacts from climate change at a Tuesday, March 6 meeting.

The briefing on the Climate Mitigation and Adaptation Plan (CMAP) will be provided at the regular meeting of the Board of Port Commissioners in the Port's Administration Building, 3165 Pacific Highway. The public meeting starts at 1 p.m.

An environmental work group will hold a public meeting this Thursday at the Port of San Diego as part of an effort to develop a plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and identify areas around San Diego Bay that may be threatened by the predicted impacts of climate change.

The Port of San Diego's Climate and Energy Work Group will be holding their next meeting Thursday, February 16, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., in the Board Room of the Port's Administration Building, 3165 Pacific Highway, San Diego.

The Port of San Diego is seeking the public's participation in an interactive workshop on climate change and its potential impacts on San Diego Bay.

As an environmental steward of San Diego Bay, the Port of San Diego is developing a Climate Mitigation and Adaptation Plan (Climate MAP) to identify strategies that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help identify areas around the bay that may be threatened by impacts of climate change.

The workshop, set for Thursday, December 1, is another opportunity for the public to voice their thoughts on the plan.
