The Plan
Enable the Good Life 2.0
This is a critical enabler that links climate smart choices to a desire for improved quality of life for residents. Doing so drives the adoption of carbon-reducing technologies and behaviors from niche users to the mainstream.
Quantify the Costs and Benefits
This plan analyses the economic costs, avoided costs, and savings of a low-carbon pathway through the use of discounted cash flow-based extended cost-benefit analysis (eCBA) techniques allows The Plan to identify the measures that reduce the most carbon for the least cost.
Chart a Paris-Aligned Pathway
It provides a clear goal for the reduction in carbon dioxide emissions required by 2050 to keep the rise in average global temperature to below 2ºC.
Align with and Operationalize the General Plan
The General Plan provides a clear and compelling vision and set of values to guide the continued development of San José . The General Plan is a foundation for Climate Smart, especially in the areas of environmental stewardship.
