2010: Marin Clean Energy plugs in first low carbon electricity of its kind
in California, now widely emulated
2015: County begins serious efforts to address sea level rise
2009: San Rafael adopts Climate Change Action Plan, spurring similar
plans in every town in Marin

in Australia
Between 2002-2012
Increase in renewable
energy generation
2006: California Global Warming Solutions Act sets goals for GHG reduction.
2008: Sustainable Communities Act targets GHG reduction in future
transportation and land use.
2015: Clean Energy & Pollution Reduction Act calls for a 50%
Renewable Portfolio Standard, doubling energy savings in
buildings, and increased electric car charging infrastructure.

Facts about California’s
Green Economy
created
clean energy jobs since 2002
billion increase in Silicon Valley green
energy investments since 2006
cut GHG emissions by
from 1990 levels
Saved consumers upwards of billion since
2002
$74
200,000
 We can grow the economy and protect the environment at the same time
 Climate leadership policies are good for consumers
 Cap andTrade is working to cut GHG and drive innovation
 Clean transportation saves money
 Lower energy bills for Californians
“America is now a global

-President Obama
After rejecting the Keystone XL
Pipeline,11/6/15
Future power plants must carbon pollution
from current levels
Existing power plants cut carbon pollution by 32% from
2005 levels by 2030
closing a few hundred coal-fired power plants
EPA assigns individual states a target for reducing emissions
with drafts due by 2016
The first-ever national standards addressing carbon pollution for power plants
finalized by President Obama in August 2015
effectively ensuring no new coal plants are built in the United States
prevents generates saves
3,600 premature deaths
1,700 non-fatal heart attacks
90,000 asthma attacks in children
300,000 missed work and school days
30% more renewable
energy investment
10,000+ jobs
Lowers costs for renewable
energy
30 million homes could be powered
by the energy saved
$115 billion saved by consumers from
2020-2030
$85/year savings on energy bills
Nov 30 – Dec 11th convention of 190 countries to make a new international agreement on climate,
aiming to keep global warming below 2°C
countries committed to reduce their GHG emissions by 2030
of global emissions are covered—but pledges to date will lower
projected warming to 2.7°C, still short of the 2.0°C goal

 Renewable energy, energy efficiency and sustainable forestry are important to both
developed and developing nations
 Emissions control and climate mitigation are increasingly universal issues
 Early warning systems for climate disasters are a priority for all nations
Expectations are high since the US-China agreement last year
Funds will likely remain insufficient for poor countries
A framework for continuing negotiations is expected
