The goal of Piedmont’s new draft Climate Action Plan 2.0 is to reduce emissions within the City to 30,000 metric tons of CO2 by 2030, and to 10,000 metric tons of CO2 by 2050.  This requires a reduction of 40% below the 2005 baseline by 2030 and 80%, 40% below the 2005 baseline by 2050.  This updates the Climate Action Plan beyond the previous commitment to reduce emissions within the City by 15% below the 2005 baseline by 2020.  At public meetings several citizens have raised the question of how Piedmont emissions in 2005 were measured and how they will be measured going forward.
