Manny’s: Climate Action in San Francisco — Pollution, Policy, and People Power

Join the San Francisco Environment Department for a lively panel discussion on climate action in San Francisco and beyond. 2024 was the hottest year on record, and climate-changing emissions are rising. But San Francisco has a track record of leadership, having cut its emissions almost in half since 1990.

In 2025, San Francisco is updating its climate action plan to lay out near-term actions to cut polluting emissions. Panelists will discuss the vital roles of policy and public engagement, particularly around the city’s two largest sources of emissions—transportation and buildings—and how government at all levels can work with community members to keep climate action moving.

Audience questions are welcome, and you will have the opportunity to weigh in on how you would like to see San Francisco lead.

Panelists:

– Dr. Philip Fine, Executive Officer, Bay Area Air District

– Tyrone Jue, Director, San Francisco Environment Department

– Joanna Gubman, San Francisco Climate, Housing and Transportation Advocate

The panel will be moderated by Lawrence Grodeska, Associate Planner, Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation.

This event is free and open to the public. Space is limited!
Please RSVP as soon as possible to secure your spot.
