Joining Reyes will be Dean Kubani, a sustainability expert and Chair of Santa Monica’s Sustainability Task Force. The speaker presentations will be followed by a moderated public question and answer discussion.
Cities throughout California have adopted Climate Action Plans (CAPs). Pasadena’s CAP was adopted in 2019. CAPs use modeling techniques to attempt to measure local greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and identify “strategies” and “actions” to reduce these GHG emissions. Specific actions are identified to target emissions from fossil fuel energy use in commercial, residential and municipal buildings and in transportation, because these account for most GHG emissions. CAPs also address waste treatment, water management and urban greening.
Martha Zavala, president of the League of Women Voters- Pasadena Area,stated:
The climate change crisis is a top priority of the League of Women Voters at the national, state and local levels. Climate change, with its fires, winds, heat, water scarcity and toxicity endanger our quality of life and property values here in the Pasadena area. The voters want to know more on this critical subject, and we are committed to providing objective, up to date and useful information.
The virtual event will take place on Thursday, March 18 from 7:00 pm -8:30pm. Open to all but need to register (scroll down to LEAGUE@NITE and click on registration box).
