  1. Mining Our Collective Experience: By Clint Basham Clean Air – Cool Planet 2012 Climate Fellow A New Tool for Illuminating and Prioritizing High-Impact, Cost-Effective Carbon Reduction Strategies

  2. Carbon Reduction Strategies Why reduce carbon? And Why have a strategy to do so?

  3. Humans + Fossil Fuels Greenhouse Gases Rising Global Temperatures Climate Impacts

  4. Climate Impacts • Declining late-season snowpack • Northward-shifted winter storm tracks • Increasing precipitation intensity • Worst drought since measurements began • Steep declines in Colorado River reservoir storage • Widespread vegetation mortality • Sharp increases in the frequency of large wildfires • Globally • sea level rise, ocean acidification, loss of biodiversity and cultural diversity, climate refugees

  5. Where do we start? • Greenhouse Gas Inventories • Can’t Manage what you don’t Measure • Direct and Indirect Carbon Emissions • What is your largest sources emissions? • What low hanging fruit can be picked? • Essential Step in developing your CAP

  6. Climate Action Plans • How do we achieve Carbon Neutrality? • What Carbon Reduction Strategies should take priority? • What size and how many projects should be part of the portfolio? • How are the projects financed? • What is the return on investment?
