City of Novato2014 GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS INVENTORY
Marin Climate & Energy Partnership
Partnership of all Marin jurisdictions, MCE, TAM and
MMWD
Working together since 2007
Develop greenhouse gas inventories, climate action
plans, model ordinances and policies
Implement mutual climate
action programs like
Resilient Neighborhoods

Consequences of Climate Change
Changing and migrating flora and fauna
Consequences of Climate Change
More wildfires
Heat waves, droughts, desertification and climate refugees
More intense storms
Consequences of Climate Change
On a path to increase temperatures 4o C
by 2100
Need to limit warming to 2o C to avoid
catastrophic impacts of climate change
We’re already halfway there!
Where We’re Headed
Good News
The Paris Agreement was ratified and went into force on November 4.
International Civil Aviation Organization plan to offset airplane emissions.
Cost of wind and solar keep falling -- and utility scale plants can be cheaper to build than new coal and natural gas power plants even without government subsidies.
Governor Brown: “California will launch its own damn satellite.”

Electricity Emissions
Electricity emissions declined 5% between 2013 and 2014
and 25% since 2005.
Mostly due to lower carbon intensity.
PG&E electricity 11% less carbon intensive over 2005.
MCE electricity 23% less carbon intensive than PG&E in 2014.
MCE carries 61% of the load.
About 0.4% of MCE customers
are Deep Green.
