Climate Change

All of us will be impacted by global climate change, but small businesses and low-income families may be particularly hard-hit. These populations are least able to cope with the higher energy prices that could be induced by policies to counter climate change. They've also typically been left out of innovative, cost-effective environmental initiatives.

 

SF Community Power has developed a pilot initiative to explore ways for small businesses and low-income families to beneficially participate in emerging solutions to climate change, improving their environmental and economic conditions along the way.

SF Community Power is working with low income families and small
businesses on developing verifiable ways of reducing greenhouse gas and
criteria pollutants.

 

Under the Community and Trade Pilot Initiative, SF Community Power is demonstrating that businesses and individuals can verifiably reduce their polluting air and greenhouse gas emissions, in ways that can be sold on emerging carbon trading markets. The pilot is intended to provide state and federal policymakers with an effective approach to helping vulnerable populations "do well by doing good."

 

For additional information about our climate change project, please contact us at (415) 626-8723.

 

We welcome inquiries from:

• Businesses, individuals, or families who would like to participate in the pilot
• Funders that would like to support the initiative
• Suppliers who would like to contribute an emission-reducing service or product to the pilot.
