Section 3. Pleasanton’s Climate Solutions | 31Pleasanton Climate Action Plan 2.0 <br />The strategies and actions included in the CAP 2.0 aim to meet the needs and <br />reflect the values and concerns of the Pleasanton community. The primary <br />pathway to reduce transportation emissions is to take advantage of zero- <br />emissions electricity to electrify vehicles and buildings. The City will also <br />build out and connect its bicycle, pedestrian, and transit network to further <br />reduce emissions from remaining gas-powered vehicles, provide viable travel <br />alternatives, and support healthy lifestyles. Natural gas emissions is also a key <br />component on the primary pathway to reduce emissions. In July 2021, the <br />Pleasanton City Council made the decision to opt into EBCE’s 100% renewable <br />energy portfolio which will help to make significant progress in this area. Since <br />electrified buildings still use energy, electrification will be complemented by <br />expanding green building and energy conservation and efficiency efforts, <br />which also build resilience to extreme heat and fluctuations in the power <br />supply. Together, the transportation and buildings/energy approaches will <br />account for ~40% of Pleasanton’s needed emission reductions. The remaining <br />reductions will come largely from implementing existing state law on food <br />waste reduction and recovery and storing carbon on the landscape through <br />an Urban Forest Master Plan. <br />To further address the impacts of climate change and support a healthy <br />environment for Pleasanton residents to live, work, and play, the City will <br />continue a number of ongoing efforts. They will continue to implement <br />water conservation, water quality, stormwater, and pollutant reduction <br />programs to preserve and protect the water supply. The City will also support <br />urban agriculture, and provide cooling centers during extreme heat. Finally, <br />the City will support and in some cases expand community outreach and <br />education programs. <br />BUILDINGS & ENERGY <br />TRANSPORTATION & LAND USE <br />MATERIALS & CONSUMPTION <br />NATURAL SYSTEMS <br />WATER & WASTEWATER <br />COMMUNITY RESILIENCE <br />Meeting Pleasanton’s <br />targets will require <br />actions across sectors.
