Five years ago, the La Mesa CAP received high marks: it was legally binding and included significant GHG emission targets, the largest of which was clean energy. Scroll forward 5 years and we find ourselves falling short. According to the County’s analysis of regional CAPS (conducted by EPIC), “Current CAP commitments are insufficient to reach decarbonization goals… Even if the most aggressive CAP measures are applied to all jurisdictions in the region, regardless of whether they have a CAP in place, significant emissions would remain (approximately 7 MMT CO2e in 2035), mostly from natural gas combustion and on-road transportation)." The County report also emphasized that “Opportunities exist for more jurisdictions to adopt and strengthen existing CAP measures.” So let’s go for the stretch goal! The La Mesa Cap Amendment 2.0 must be ambitious enough to meet the scope and scale of the climate crisis: 1. Commit to Zero Carbon by 2035 – focus on the drivers: natural gas and transportation; 2. Provide adequate funding and implementation for CAP actions; 3. Electrify Everything, including new and existing buildings; 4. Build Affordable, all electric, homes near transit; 5. Apply an equity lens to all CAP actions. Finally, we should have robust stakeholder outreach to ensure all La Mesans have a voice and an understanding of how the CAP will improve their lives. This CAP Amendment is an opportunity to better meet today’s biggest challenge and I urge this Council to support bold action.
