EXECUTIVE SUMMARYRecognizing the urgent need to act on climate change, Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg and WestSacramento Mayor Christopher Cabaldon launched the Mayors’ Commission on Climate Change inNovember 2018 to develop recommendations to achieve carbon zero by 2045 in the cities of Sacramentoand West Sacramento.The need for immediate climate action isexemplified in the risks already impacting ourpublic health and safety, life-sustainingecosystems and the region’s economy- includingrising temperatures and more extreme heatwaves, drier landscapes and more intensedroughts, increased risk of floods, and morefrequent and larger wildfires.The work of the Commission, which consists of19 local and regional leaders representing keypublic agencies, nonprofit organizations,businesses and academic institutions, wassupported by a set of Technical Advisory Committees (TACs) and input from community members, youthand local businesses. Three sector-based TACs (focused on the Built Environment, Mobility, andCommunity Health and Resiliency) were convened to address the cities’ largest sources of emissions –transportation, buildings and waste – and identify strategies that promote public health and climateresilience.Two additional TACs on Equity and on Funding and Finance were convened to provide additionalguidance on social-equity objectives and advancing implementation of the carbon-reduction strategiesidentified.Equity was a key priority for the Commission and was considered across every aspect of the initiative.Given the disproportionate climate impacts upon marginalized communities, the Commissionrecommended a set of equity measures to address historical and current disparities, which will underpinand guide the implementation of all sector-based strategies. These strategies include operationalizingequity throughout agency decision-making and investment processes, authentically and inclusivelyinvolving marginalized communities, and building capacity through cultural brokers and community-basedorganizations.Additionally, the Commission identified a set of foundational principles that cut across individual businessand community sectors to guide the implementation of carbon-zero strategies including: urgency,advocacy, accountability, education, and financial and economic sustainability.Through the lens of equity and these foundational principles, the Commission recommends the followingsector-based strategies to achieve carbon zero by 2045 while simultaneously advancing social equity andeconomic prosperity. By addressing the largest contributors of greenhouse gas emissions we areconfident that our strategies will set us on a pathway to achieve the cities’ ambitious goal. Ourcommunities will be stronger and more prosperous if we take bold action now to dramatically reduce ourcarbon emissions and increase community resilience to climate-change impacts.4

Built EnvironmentElectrificationof New ConstructionMandate all-electricconstruction to eliminatefossil-fuel use in new buildingsby 2023.Sustainable Land UseSupport infill growth consistent with the regionalSustainable Communities Strategy to ensure:ooElectrificationof Existing Buildings90% of the cities' growth is in theestablished and center/corridorcommunities and is 90% small-lot andattached homes by 2040.Transition 25% of existingresidential and smallcommercial buildings to allelectric by 2030Project level VMT is 15% below(or 85% of) the regional average.MobilityInvestments to reduce emissions stemming from theMobility sector, the largest source of emissions forboth Sacramento and West Sacramento, shouldfollow a hierarchy that first prioritizes activetransportation, followed by transit and sharedmobility, and finally ZEVs. Following this hierarchywill enable the cities to achieve equitable outcomesand deliver multiple benefits to communities.ACTIVE TRANSPORTATIONTRANSIT & SHAREDMOBILITYZEVsActive TransportationTransit & Shared MobilityZero-Emission VehiclesExpand and enhance accessibilityto low-stress, connectedinfrastructure for walking androlling, prioritizing improvementsthat address specific communityand neighborhood needs so that:Expand and improve transit andshared mobility services to bemore accessible, affordable,timely and attractive than singleoccupancy-vehicle use so that:Develop a comprehensivepackage of incentives,disincentives and policies toencourage the adoption of zeroemission vehicles (ZEVs) so that:oo30% of all trips are by activetransportation by 2030.40% of all trips are by activetransportation by 2045.oo30% of all trips are by transitoand pooled shared mobility by2030.50% of all trips are by transitoand pooled shared mobility by2045.570% of new vehicleregistrations will be for ZEVsby 2030.All public, private and sharedfleets are fully electrified by2045.

Community Health and ResiliencyUrban Greening and ForestryExpand green infrastructure to ensure that all neighborhoods, starting with historicallymarginalized communities and tree-deficient neighborhoods, have:ooAccess to green space within a quarter-mile by 2030.A baseline canopy of 25% by 2030, and 35% by 2045.Sustainable Food SystemsIncrease food security and access to healthy, affordable food for all communities, whilesupporting a regenerative food system by:ooSourcing 25% of food locally within a 200-mile radius by 2030, and 40% by 2045.Reducing 50% of aggregate food waste by 2025, and 75% by 2030.Community Climate ResilienceIdentify climate vulnerabilities and adaptation strategies as part of the climate actionplan or general plan updates by 2022. Develop and implement preparedness measures,with a priority focus initially on increasing the resilience of communities most vulnerableto climate-change impacts by investing in existing community assets and networks toincrease community adaptive capacity.The Built Environment, Mobility, and Community Health and Resiliency strategies are interconnected andmutually reinforcing and should be implemented holistically — for example, sustainable land use patternswill be critical to decreasing car travel and increasing transit and active transportation.To build momentum and community engagement around these strategies, it is critical for the cities topursue pilots and initiatives that demonstrate tangible results. As such, the Commission’srecommendations include a set of near-term projects that can be started in the first year ofimplementation.Transformative action is needed to decarbonize the economy and safeguard communities from theworsening impacts of climate change. By embarking on a path toward carbon zero by 2045, the cities ofSacramento and West Sacramento are positioning the region as a national and international model for aclimate-smart future.Turning this plan into action rests will require residents, businesses, City government, and otherinstitutions to urgently rise to the challenge of advancing significant changes – changes in ourinfrastructure, technological advances, ramped up green workforce development, and change in thedecisions we make every day as members of the community. Everyone must play a role to ensure a moreequitable, prosperous and resilient future for all residents.6

ADDRESSING CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE ERA OF COVID-19The cities of Sacramento and West Sacramento, and local leaders across the world, are struggling toadapt to the economic and social constraints of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the immediate focus isfirst and foremost on protecting public health, safety and well-being there will be lessons learned andopportunities for growth and reinvention that emerge.Difficult situations and disruptions can provide a rare opportunity to gain insights anddevelop new approaches that can improve our lives long after the pandemic.In the aftermath of the 2008 recession, fossil fuel-heavy and otherwise polluting industries received amajor share of the bailout money. Today, however, practical options for green investments are plentiful.Renewable energy is cheaper than coal in most of the world, and increasingly competitive with naturalgas. Now is the time to invest stimulus dollars into projects that address public health, climate and socialequity needs, including infill affordable housing, critical transit projects, bicycle and pedestrianinfrastructure, broadband deployment and su

Sustainable Food Systems Increase food security and access to healthy, affordable food for all communities, while supporting a regenerative food system by: o Sourcing 25% of food locally within a 200-mile radius by 2030, and 40% by 2045. o Reducing 50% of aggregate food waste by 2025, and 75% by 2030.
