Plenary Panel: California 2050: Tomorrow's Future Starts Today Dian Grueneich, Stanford University By 2050, California’s population will have reached 50 million. Accommodating this growth while achieving the state’s ambitious environmental and economic goals will require dramatic shifts in the way we plan communities over the next 35 years. At the same time our state is becoming increasingly diverse and our two largest generations— millennials and baby boomers— are turning the way we think about housing and transportation on it’s head. Technology has provided an opening for major disruptions. From shared mobility and autonomous vehicles to smart grids— the future starts with our plans today. Panelists will discuss innovative strategies for a sustainable 2050 and solutions for getting there.

CAP 2.0: Learning from the First Round of CAP Updates Cory Downs, City of Chula Vista, CA California saw a burst of climate action planning in the late 2000s. The young field struggled with how to do GHG emissions inventories and how to develop meaningful, effective policy. Many communities are now well into implementation of their climate action plans and some have begun their first round of plan updates. This session will look at lessons learned from these pioneer communities in the field: what works, what doesn’t, and what needs to be done next. Moderator: Tammy Seale, Michael Baker International PAC Pavilion 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM |

Panelists during this session, will provide an overview of Californian’s attitudes toward climate change issues, highlight tools and resources available to engage the public, and share best practices/lessons learned from communities that have engaged stakeholders in innovative ways.

Linking Public Health & Climate Change Kathleen Karle, San Luis Obispo County Public Health Services Linking Public Health & Climate Change For good and bad, climate change and public health are inextricably linked. The public health impacts of climate change, which are already becoming apparent, will be enormous. However, the topic of public health also presents a valuable opportunity for climate action planning, providing a relevant, understandable, and rallying topic for discussing the abstract and polarizing topic of climate change. In this session, practitioners will discuss their efforts to address the public health impacts of climate change as well as how the topic of public health helps inform climate action planning.
