Port of San Diego Background
3
Port Tidelands
4
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)
5
GHG Emission Mitigation Component
1. Baseline & Future Emission Inventories
2. Review & Categorize Mitigation Measures
3. Set Goals
4. Specify Mitigation Measures to Achieve Goals
5. Tracking Methods
6
Port vs. County Comparison

GHG Mitigation: Goal Setting
8
Climate Adaptation Component
1. Conduct Vulnerability Assessment
2. Prioritize Actions
3. Identify Implementation Strategies
4. Implement Strategies
5. Monitor Progress and Evaluate Plan

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
10
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
