Achieving Truckee’s Climate Goals
Truckee GHG Reduction Strategies
Truckee’s GHG Reduction Measure Process• Public and GPAC Climate Subcommittee provide input on reduction ideas
• Ideas ranked for reduction potential and co-benefits
• Set of GHG reduction measures developed and reviewed by public
• Comments considered and final set of measures included in General Plan to
meet state and local targets
• Opportunities for combined mitigation/adaptation strategies!
Climate Change in the Town of TruckeeMARNI KOOPMAN, CLIMATE CHANGE SCIENTIST

Climate change is simple, serious, solvable• Basic chemistry• Models created to help predict future
trends, not to explain climate change• OK to have doubts about the science

NATURAL
Health and Emergency Services
Fewer outdoor recreational opportunities Mental health impacts and trauma from repeated
exposure to extreme events Increasing pests, disease, water-borne and food-
borne illnesses
Overburdened roads, wastewater, stormwater, electric, trails, buildings, etc.
Traffic congestion Wildfire risk to property, homes, and lives Electrical blackouts and damage to electrical
infrastructure
Infrastructure
Natural Systems
Degradation of nature and loss of native species Increasing wildfire risk to forests and other habitats Damage to trails, habitats, and delicate ecosystems
like wetlands
Loss of employment in service and recreation Cost of wildfire (Paradise fire cost $16.5B) Reduced tax revenue could lead to fewer services
(Paradise fire lead to $3-6B/yr. lost) Increase in homelessness and food insecurity
Business and the Economy
Culture and Well-being
Non-profit organizations overburdened from increasing need and declining funding
Loss of nature-based culture Small-town culture affected by people moving to the
area
Creating Climate Change Solutions
“We can adapt to this problem up to a point, but that point is determined by how much we reduce greenhouse gas emissions”
-- Dr. Michael Oppenheimer, PrincetonCo-author of the IPCC 5th Assessment Report
Public Support for Climate Action
• Global warming is happening – 67%• It is caused by humans – 54%• People are worried about it – 60%• We should regulate CO2 – 72%• Schools should teach about climate
change – 77%
We’ve done it before…
Millions of horse and buggies in 1900. Car mass produced in 1916. Buggies gone by 1939.
Indoor plumbing arrived in cities in the 1900s. Rural areas by 1930s.
High speed cable installed across the entire U.S.
