If this 15% over ten years reduction were to continue, we <br />would achieve the 2030 goal but would have to substantially decrease emissions <br />by 33% every 10 years until 2050 to reach state targets. If, instead of ramping <br />up after 2030, efforts started sooner, we would only need to reduce by about <br />24% every ten years to reach 2050 targets. The fact that per capita emissions <br />have remained relatively stable between 2010 and 2015 indicates a need to <br />increase efforts to reduce emissions across the community. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Consumption Based Inventory <br />A consumption based inventory (CBI) takes a different approach to calculating <br />per capita and community emissions. The CBI takes into account greenhouse gas <br />emissions from a full life-cycle analysis of goods and services consumed by local <br />residents regardless of the location of the emissions. This method of <br />inventorying recognizes the impacts of consumption of services in an integrated, <br />global economy and encourages reduced emissions through green-buying <br />practices. <br />The Cool Climate Network at UC Berkeley, in conjunction with Bay Area Air <br />Quality Management District (BAAQMD), created a CBI for all of the cities in the <br />Bay Area. The model relies heavily on consumption levels being correlated with <br />income. The City of San Leandro has a footprint of 1.4 million tons of CO2e, well <br />below the Bay Area average of 115 million tons of CO2e. Nearly a third of these <br />emissions are a result of transportation emissions. Gasoline-related emissions <br />alone represent about a quarter of the entire CBI for San Leandro. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Services <br />16% <br />Goods <br />16% <br />Food <br />22% <br />Housing <br />14% <br />Transpor <br />tation <br />32% <br />Average San Leandro Household, <br />Consumption Based Emissions <br />39.3 MT CO2e / year <br />38
