Next Steps 1. conduct a GHG emissions inventory to determine the source and quantity of GHG emissions and to forecast GHG emissions in Sausalito - COMPLETED; 2. establish a GHG emissions reduction target for the year 2020; 3. develop a climate action plan with both existing and future actions that will meet the local GHG reduction targets; 4. implement the action plan; and 5. monitor and report progress. 7

Next Steps Milestone 2: Establish a GHG emissions reduction target for 2020 AB 32 – Set 2020 Goal for the State of California Match State’s GHG emissions level in 1990 Local jurisdictions are encouraged but not required to track GHG or to meet State of California’s reduction target. 8

Next Steps Milestone 2: Other Communities in Marin that have adopted a 15% or more reduction target for 2020 include: Belvedere San Anselmo LarkspurSan Rafael Mill ValleyTiburon NovatoCounty Ross The Sausalito Sustainability Commission endorses a GHG reduction target of 15%. 9
