2017 Clean Air Plan: Spare the Air, Cool the Climate
Learn about the Air District’s most current Clean Air Plan: Spare the Air, Cool the Climate.
2017 Clean Air Plan: Spare the Air, Cool the Climate
The 2017 Bay Area Clean Air Plan(8 Mb PDF, 268 pgs, revised 4/20/2017), adopted on April 19, 2017, is a call to action to “Spare the Air and Cool the Climate (YouTube streaming video).”
The 2017 Plan provides a regional strategy to protect public health and protect the climate. The plan describes how the Air District will continue our progress toward attaining all state and federal air quality standards and eliminating health-risk disparities from exposure to air pollution among Bay Area communities. To protect the climate, the plan envisions transitioning the Bay Area toward a post-carbon economy needed to achieve 2030 and 2050 greenhouse gas reduction (GHG) targets. The 2017 Plan includes a wide range of control measures designed to decrease emissions of the air pollutants that are most harmful to Bay Area residents, such as particulate matter, ozone, toxic air contaminants, and methane and other “super-GHGs.”
