The Regional Decarbonization Framework is intended to anchor the San Diego region in emerging best practices from across the nation and globally. It seeks to chart science–based pathways towards deep decarbonization that can be implemented in a feasible and expeditious timeline. It proposes a paradigm shift in our local economy. The scale and pace of this effort will require partnerships between public and private sectors, particularly, business, labor and environmental communities. We will therefore continue to seek input and involvement from all stakeholders as we begin the process of implementing the goals outlined in this framework.
