  1. Climate Mitigation and Adaptation Plan (CMAP)Port of San Diego Maritime Business and Technology Summit November 29, 2011 Michelle White Port of San Diego

  2. 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 • Baseline & Future Emission Inventories • Review & Categorize Mitigation Measures • Set Goals • Specify Mitigation Measures to Achieve Goals • Tracking Methods

  6. Port vs. County Comparison County of San Diego Port of San Diego

  7. GHG Mitigation: Goal Setting

  8. Climate Adaptation Component Conduct Vulnerability Assessment Prioritize Actions Identify Implementation Strategies Implement Strategies Monitor Progress and Evaluate Plan

  9. 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 • Peak energy demand reduction • Water conservation • Increased erosion

  14. 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
