 Palo Alto Climate Protection Plan
Global warming is nearly universally recognized by scientists, and much of the public, as one of
the most important threats facing human civilization and political stability. This rise in
temperatures has major implications for transboundary migration, economic prosperity and the
future of human development. Locally, the effects of climate change are likely to reduce the
availability of hydro generated electricity, increase the incidence of forest fires, and lead to a rise
in the level of the San Francisco Bay that would impact Palo Alto’s shoreline.
The Climate Protection Plan (CPP) continues a process, of which the Green Ribbon Task Force
(GRTF) recommendations were an earlier step, through which the City government and the
community are working together to reduce significantly greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
