Goals of the Port’s Climate Mitigation and Adaptation Plan

Greenhouse Gas Mitigation– Provide a tool for streamlining GHG evaluation for

future CEQA processes– Achieve GHG reductions on Port tidelands

Climate Change Adaptation– Identify strategies to adapt to the impacts of

climate change (i.e., sea level rise)

Climate Adaptation for a Port: Considerations

Climate adaptation planning is a new concept– New paradigm that manages risks related to climate

change

Different approach than typical planning process– Departure from relying solely on historical info– Emphasis on future planning and risk management

Long planning horizon – 50yr and 100yr

No “low-hanging fruit” for adaptation (unlike GHG)

Requires multi-jurisdictional coordination

Key Vulnerabilities

Quantitative sea-level rise (SLR) impacts– Land Use (Port and tenant activities)– Stormwater infrastructure– Natural Resources– Other (e.g. goods movement, safety, etc.)

Qualitative Summary of Vulnerabilities– Temperature Increases– Other Impacts

oPeak energy demand reductionoWater conservationoIncreased erosion

Next Steps

Adaptation Options– Identification of adaptation types– Ranking adaptation options based on applicability

(e.g. soft, hard, retreat, etc.)

Finalize prioritization of actions using risk metric– Risk defined as a product of likelihood and

consequence– Evaluated under Working Port, Safe Port, Green

Port, and Public Port functions

Describe implementation strategies
