2005 Daly City Government Operations Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory 34
Conclusion By committing itself to the Silicon Valley Climate Protection Partnership and through its previous actions on sustainability, Daly City has taken bold steps toward reducing its impacts on the environment. Staff and policymakers have chosen to take a leadership role in addressing climate change, and this leadership will allow the City to make tough decisions to create and implement innovative approaches to reduce its emissions. With increasing guidance and support from the state and the federal governments, Daly City should be increasingly empowered to make the necessary changes to promote its vision for a more sustainable future. This inventory provides an important foundation for the City’s comprehensive approach to reducing the greenhouse gas emissions from its operations. Specifically, this inventory serves to: Establish a baseline for setting emissions reductions targets. Identify the largest sources of emissions from local government operations. This conclusion discusses the inventory as a baseline for emissions targets and suggests steps for the City to move forward to reduce emissions from its internal operations. 4.1 Toward Setting Emissions Reduction Targets This inventory provides an emissions baseline against which the City can move forward to Milestone Two of ICLEI’s Five-Milestone process—setting emissions reduction targets for its municipal operations. The greenhouse gas emissions reduction target represents the percentage by which Daly City plans to reduce total greenhouse gas emissions in its government operations below base year levels by a chosen future target year. An example target might be a 30 percent reduction in emissions below 2005 levels by 2020. A target provides an objective toward which to strive and against which to measure progress. It allows a local government to quantify its commitment to 2005 Daly City Government Operations Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory 35
