Vehicles. We know that we can expand this Public Charging Network particularly in the gaps you see in the map known as charging deserts. [please stand by] specific actions in six strategic areas that well meade to implement well need to implement that goal. And electricity is the fuel of the future and we need to implement it in existing modes. Last slide oops. It was your last slide. [laughter]. So ill make it up. So renewable electricity, will get us to a netzero system which is crucial to become a net carbon city. And our 2030 goals are 35 of certification and sustainable modes will help to get us there. In closing with the necessary capital, political and public support, we can meet these goals and along with our complementary goal of zero traffic fatalities to not only achieve our 2030 goal but to improve the lives of all. Thank you. Thank you, mr. Chu. That gets us through electricity and transportation and we still have buildings. Barry cooper . From the department of the environment. Thank you. Good afternoon, supervisor mandelman and the members of the committee. Ill quickly take you through buildings. So the challenge with buildings is in many ways similar to transport. How do we get to zero emissions . And thats a pretty straightforward formula. We need to make sure that our building stock is energy efficient, that we have 100 renewable electricity and we have tools to do that, that we have heard about today. And were ensuring that were using it in our built environment. So how will we make progress on that simple formula . A key policy opportunity is a policy signal from the city directly communicated to the city favoring all electric buildings in support of meeting its zero emission goals. So the introduction of todays proposal to ensure that the city installs no new natural gas using infrastructure in either the major alteration or the new construction of its own facilities is a key first step. And then the broader question of how do we get there citywide in our new construction and our built environment is the subject of a task force that mayor breed has called for that were working and preparing for and the outcome of that well talk about on this today. Pardon me. Its important now to not just talk about where we need to go but what we need to get through to get there. So theres some significant challenges to making this transition and theres reason yes our built environment isnt all electric today. One of the key elements is the California Energy code. That is the instrument of a great deal of the Energy Efficiency benefits that we have as San Franciscoians and a key resource for us but its been designed and improved over a 40year period to discourage the development of new electric power plants because that was our greatest concern in the 197 is. So were working with the Energy Commission and theyve very much recognized the need to support the decarbonization of buildings as the primary goal. But it does take time to make the changes that are necessary at the state level. And every building that goes through the planning and permitting process in San Francisco has to comply with the energy code. So we cant push things that would involve the that dont have a straightforward way for compliance for all buildings. Next, because sorry commonly used gas to supply most thermal loads to wate heat our r and to support that transition and to improve their comfort and embrace this path to a clean, efficient future. And the key example would be looking at two sectors Affordable Housing, and a lot of the best examples of building stock leading the way is actually coming from our local developers. And because theyre able to find allelectric paths that were efficient and didnt increase their first costs, theyve committed to new construction such as the macy veteran department currently built in treasure island, committing to all electric already. Similarly, the city has a total of 18 Major Projects that are currently going towards being all electric, and the Southeast Community center is one key example. And the task force, the task before the private sector the Public Private task force to decarbonize and have a plan to decarbonize our built environment is a roadmap, a specific stepbystep process, with the zeroemissions road map that has the actions that are necessary to meet those ends. So were looking forward to that to work together. Thank you for your time. Thank you, mr. Cooper. Still on buildings we have lisa fisher from planning. Hello, supervisors. Thank you for declaring this Climate Emergency. Our own Commission President has urged us strongly in fact, she was recently quoted as telling us to stop the bureaucratic bullshit and actually to address this crisis. We want to partner with you to find meaningful solutions. The Planning Department i forgot to tell you that im lisa fisher sorry, sorry. The Planning Department has identified four unique avenues to supporting this Climate Action, connecting land use and design with the spaces between the buildings, the buildings themselves, and transportation. To reduce our emissions and to increase renewables. First, we have early interface with projects and working with them from inception that offers Key Opportunities to enhancing the outcomes and integrates these goals, sometimes before their requirements. For example, through the planning designer review process of major developments we can enhance resource efficiency and get those allelectric buildings. Through integrated planning, partnerships and funding, we develop comprehensive area plans. And this is our way of helping to direct growth to help amplify the environmental and climate benefits. The central plans have pushed beyond the current regulations in timely areas, all New Buildings will be 100 Greenhouse Gasfree electricity and have solar p. V. And living roofs. We, of course, have a multifaceted toolbox, including regulatory construct like the planning code where we support positive aims through better roofs, better streets and urban Design Guidelines and the Transportation DemandManagement Program and more. We were recently the first city to get rid of minimum parking requirements. And then we have nonregulatory tools where we can push and support climate through things like the plant finder tool, where we get a greener and more biodiverse city that also supports climate sequestration. Of course, we intervene and inconvene several interagency efforts on Design Review and streets and buildings. How we guide and implement our growth is critical to meeting our climate goals and ensuring a diverse and equitiable and more inclusive and affordable community. Through these avenues for positive influence, we are directly influencing all of the pipeline of residential and commercial development with our partners at oewd and ocii. We believe that our city has an opportunity to enhance and to strengthen our buildings, but we need to do so quicker. We look forward to working with the board and our fellow agencies and the Development Community and the public at large to turn our opportunities into challenges, to better coordinate our growth and development, to balance our needs, to maximize the benefits through all of the pavement that we turn, and engage the community, and increase funding for important projects. Thank you. Supervisor mandelman thank you. Our next next up we have from the department of Public Health, the talk about health and equity. Good afternoon, i am dr. Argagon, with the city and county of San Francisco and with the Health Division at the department of Public Health. I am a native San Franciscoian and born and raised in the Mission District and i live in district 8 where we raise three children, currently 18 through 23 years old. So this issue affects the future of my children and their children. Im going to borrow some text from the American PublicHealth Association and adapted to San Francisco. The health of San Francisco residents and visitors faces two great challenges Climate Change and Racial Health and equities. And Climate Change affects the health of every community in San Francisco. Beyond its direct health impacts, Climate Change increases Food Insecurity and worsens air pollution and reduces our access to clean air and water, and displaces people from their homes and causes widespread social and economic disruption. According to the world bank, Climate Change threatens our fragile existence on this planet. Racial Health Inequities and Climate Change are deeply interconnected. Climate change acts as a threat multiplier, exacerbating poverty, racism, environmental degredation and political instability. And Climate Change is a problem rooted in our in Structural Racism and systems of economic exclusion and individualistic values of our society and economy. Eliminating Racial Health inequities and resolving Climate Change requires a radical approach with policy and systems change and taking on the powerful interests that put profits before people and impede the transformational change needed to achieve racial and Economic Equity and a healthy climate for all. Fortunately, many Climate Solutions offer huge health benefits. In fact, many strategies to reduce climate pollution are the same strategie strategies that t implement to reduce Racial Health inequity. Yes, its a Climate Health emergency, and the health and wellbeing of the communities that we serve are in danger. As witnessed by the increased occurrence of disasters and wildfires and extreme weather. Our actions now will affect the magnitude of climate impacts to our most vulnerable communities and how well they recover in the aftermath of climate related disasters. The department of Public Health has a Critical Role in addressing this as an urgent threat. The key message that i want to emphasize to us is that as a city, as human beings fiz physiologically and our infrastructure is not acclimated to changes in temperature. While our overall temperature will increase, well see more cool days and hot days, with the extreme temperatures that are going to be our biggest problem. I want to end with three key messages Climate Change disproportionately impacts the lowincome communities and communities of color. And Health Inequities share the same root causes, and addressing Climate Change and Health Inequities requires transformational changes in our systems and communities. Thank you. [applause] supervisor mandelman thank you, dr. Argon. And i think that our last departmental presentation is from heather green of the city administrators office. Hello. Good afternoon, supervisors. Heather green with capital planning. I have no slides. But im here to just say thank you to all of the departments working on this and especially to the director rafael for all of the information that shes provided us in the partnership between our two departments. So we look forward to all of the Climate Action strategy work ahead. One thing that we know that we have heard in lots of different ways today from lots of different departments is about the fact that well need to invest and work differently. And we need to make sure that we have our priorities straight and we spend money where we need to spend it so we can achieve all of these goals. That is our offices area of expertise for the city. And we did something very similar years back for the seawall, we gathered experts together around a table and introduce Aid Working Group strategy for the financing of that multigenerational need. And thats something that we look forward to doing on this front as well. So well look forward to that work and to showcasing what we plan to do in the 10year capital plan. Just another place that people can look to see how the city is thinking and that we really are finding the korea sources and dedicating what we need to make progress. Thank you. Supervisor mandelman thank you, miss green. Director rafael. So thank you. And to wrap up a couple thoughts you i think that anyone who listened to this presentation would be left with understanding that city staff, city departments, elected officials, are all fully committed and understand the importance of our work. So i want to thank you for giving us the opportunity for sharing our thoughts with you, whether its the department of Public Health, the airport, the m. T. A. , the Planning Department, the p. U. C. , we are all here because we believe that this is the most important work. When we look at what we need to do as a city, and the city staff going forward, we start with the acceleration and the focus that this hearing has offered us. And we understand that our first task is to update the underpinning policies that focus our attention and set our goals. Those are in statute and theyre chapter 9 of the environment code. So we will be working in the next few months through next year to update chapter 9. And we will come back too with those proposals. At the end after working on chapter 9, what we ultimately need to end up with is what we are calling a paris Climate Action strategy. And the reason that paris compliant is important is because its pointing us in the direction of equity, inclusiveness, and making sure that the most vulnerable among us are the first on our thought process and the first on our resource allocation. So im so grateful that the city administrator has put her office forward and saying that she will help us with the hard work of figuring out how we will fund the recommendations that are going to arise through these two processes. So at the end of the day as we look forward and as we envision the city we want, and as we understand that San Francisco is indeed a city who rehearses the future, and we know that cities around the world are looking to us for leadership, we are also looking to them for inspiration and to learning and we know that its the leadership of our community, the leadership of our elected officials and the commitment of city staff that is going to be our best hope for the future. So thank you for this opportunity. Supervisor mandelman thank you, director rafael. So and thank you to all of the city staff who have presented and presented briefly, concisely and effectively this afternoon. Im going to read some names and i ask that when you hear your name that you stand up, you go stand in line with your right of the room. And you will have two minutes. You should feel no need to repeat other speakers. And im going to just start calling. Joanie i are eisen, and zach zubin and josh cliff and denise louis, and milo weatherall. And christopher peterson. Victoria gu. Bob hall. Sharea greenwa well everyonld. And ellen coivisto. And i have more cards that i will read once these folks have once we have gotten through these folks. And it would be great if folks if you have these blue cards that you can get in the front of the room, if you could bring them up and i can call your name. So, okay, lets start. Joanie eisen. Okay, yes. Im an artist and a longtime s. F. Resident and a board member of s. F. Tomorrow and the citizens climate lobby, and with the democratic club. Thank you, supervisors, for recognizing the crisis by declaring an emergency. And thanks s. F. Environment for the formidable action starting point of focus 2030, and all of your other emission reducing programs. And thanks to the other departments for their own efforts to reduce the emissions. And i do appreciate the cooperation that i heard about today among agencies. But it is time for all agencies all agencies to coordinate these climate efforts instead of operating in isolation to avoid needless competition and diewpgdz. Duplication. I ask the mayor to enforce this. And its up to the board to find the enormous money that will takes to decarbonize all buildings and transportation to provide 100 Clean Electricity to protect nonaffluent people from being forced out for noncompliance with any burdensome law and to create Clean Energy Jobs that pay a living wage. These funds must be in place before enacting any law that would harm individuals who cant afford to comply. The cost of inaction will
