Climate and Energy Action Plan (CEAP)

9 Table 6 Targets set by other Oregon jurisdictions City of Eug ene  Targets in Climate Action Plan:10 o Reduce community -wide greenhouse gas emissions 10% below 1990 levels by 2020 o Reduce community -wide fossil fuel use by 50% by 2030  A 2014 Climate Recovery Ordinance11 sets a goal to reduce community emissions by 7.6% annually City of Corvallis12  Reduce overall community fossil fuel use 30% below 2012 levels by 2020  Reduce overall community fossil fuel use 55% below 2012 levels by 2030  Reduce overall community fossil fuel use 85% below 2012 levels by 2050 City of Portland/Multnomah County13  Reduce local carbon emissions 40% from 1990 levels by 2030  Reduce local carbon emissions 80% from 1990 levels by 2050 State of Oregon (House Bill 3543) 14  Reduce greenhouse gas emissions 10% below 1990 levels by 2020  Reduce greenhouse gas emissions 75% below 1990 levels by 2050  Targets derived from IPCC recommendations at the time The Ashland Climate and Energy Action plan sets a communitywide goal consistent with that of the ci ty of Eugene (OR), which is to achieve a 7.6% annual reduction in communitywide greenhouse gas emissions. This target was developed by Eugene using a carbon budget approach that calculated reductions needed to achieve a global atmospheric carbon dioxide co ncentration of 350 ppm by 2100.15 The emissions reduction associated with this carbon budget approach is based on an analysis by Hansen et al. that requires global emission reductions of approximately 7.6% per year beginning in 2016.16 In Ashland, this repre sents an average reduction of approximately 9,000 metric tons per year. 10 Community Climate and Energy Action Plan 2013 Progress Report; http://www.e ugene - or.gov/ArchiveCenter/ViewFile/Item/2385 . 11 http://thrivingearthexchange.org/wp -content/uploads/2016/03/Rice -McRae -AGU -2016.pdf 12 City of Corvallis, “C limate Action Plan for Corvallis, Oregon,” 2015, http://corvalliscap.org/wp - content/uploads/2016/04/CORVALLIS -CAP-041416.pdf 13 City of Portland/Multnomah County, “ Climate Action Plan for City of Portland and Multnomah County,” https://www.portlandoregon.gov/bps/article/531984 . 14 State of Oregon (House Bill 3543): Oregon Global Warming Commission Bien nial Report to the Legislature,” 2015, http://www.keeporegoncool.org/sites/default/files/ogwc -standard - documents/OGWC_Rpt_Leg_2015_final.p df. 15 Council Ordinance No. 20567, An ordinance concerning climate recovery, City of Eugene, Oregon, August, 2106. 16 Hansen et al., Assessing “Dangerous Climate Change”: Required Reductions of Carbon Emissions to Protect Young People and Future Generat ions and Nature, PLoS ONE 8(12), 2013. http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0081648
