Public °ewe,,, Hearing Draft GHG REDUCTION TARGETS The CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.5(b) requires that a Qualified GHG Reduction Strategy contains a goal for substantive GHG reductions, although the Guidelines do not set a specific level for this goal. In CARB's Climate Change Scoping Plan, the State provides its statewide GHG reductions targets (the targets for statewide emissions) and guidance for local communities. California's statewide targets are absolute levels (a set amount below a specific level), and the guidance for local communities is a mix of absolute and per - capita targets. These statewide targets are: 2020: Reduce emissions to 1990 levels, codified into law by AB 32 (2006)1 2030: Reduce emissions 40 percent below 1990 levels, codified into law by SB 32 (2016)_ 2050: Reduce emissions 80 percent below 1990 levels, established by Executive Order S- 03-05 (not yet codified into law). Scoping Plan recommendations for local plan level GHG reduction goals are: 2020: Reduce emissions 15 percent below baseline levels (2005 to 2008 per the AB 32 Scoping Plan). 2030: Reduce emissions to 6.0 MTCO2e per capita, 2050: Reduce emissions to 2.0 MTCO2e per capita, San Leandro has adopted locally specific GHG reduction terge#3g2als, which are broadly consistent with the ones recommended by the State. San Lea ndro's4Grge#s- goals are: 2020: Reduce emissions 25 percent below 2005 levels. 2030: Reduce emissions 40 percent below 2005 levels. 2050: Reduce emissions 80 percent below 2005 levels. The GHG inventory and forecast provided in this chapter provide an understanding of how San Leandro's emissions are expected to change in the absence of any reduction efforts. Chapter 3 highlights the impacts that GHG emissions are anticipated to have on the various communities and key infrastructures and community services in San Leandro. Chapter 4 of this CAP describes how the City intends to reduce future emissions to meet or exceed its GHG reduction targets with a focus on achievement of the City's 2030 reduction goal consistent with the State's adopted 2030 reduction target and commitment to continued and accelerated emissions reductions beyond 2030.
