About the Program

Category: County Resiliency (Best in Category)

Year: 2023

The Let’s Get There Playbook is a science-based guide that helps individuals, organizations, communities and the region reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It can help our region collectively achieve its zero-carbon emissions by mid-century. It is a tangible work product of the County of San Diego’s Integrated Regional Decarbonization Framework which included a technical analysis, equity assessments, study of workforce considerations and community input gained from hundreds of meetings and workshops. Focused on buildings, electricity, land use & natural climate solutions, transportation, food systems and circular economy sectors of our economy, its content can be thought of as a list of plays a coach may have to choose from in a game to help reach the objective. It is not meant to anticipate all possible scenarios, outcomes, risks, or opportunities, nor does it include specific actions, impose requirements, or include performance metrics or a timeline. The Playbook is a user-friendly guide of realistic options to reduce GHG emissions that can be tailored to the needs of the region.
