BAAQMD & ILG Launch Climate Action Portal
The Bay Area Air Quality Management District has partnered with ILG to develop this portal for local governments to easily access tools and resources for implementing climate actions.
About BAAQMD
The Air District is responsible for regulating air quality in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our jurisdiction covers nine counties and 101 cities.
We have made tremendous progress improving air quality over the last five decades. However, the predicted increase of extreme hot days due to climate change could substantially increase air pollution and reverse our accomplishments to date.
The Air District is committed to addressing climate change and is implementing numerous initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including:
- Adopted the nations' s first greenhouse gas fee on air pollution sources located in the Bay Area.
- Prepared the first regional greenhouse gas inventory for the Bay Area.
- Developed Protect Your Climate, a climate protection curriculum targeting elementary school grade levels.
- Hosted a Climate Action Leadership Summit in 2009 for local governments.
- Awards a variety of climate grants to communities.
