begin work units. so, yes, this is a partnership and we do need to acknowledge that there's significant public funds going into get getting those 139 units, but we will do much better under this land dedication scenario that we just up on our own and find a parcel straight up. >> salome do the math quickly on my phone you. 139 units into $30 million-sorry. that is two and $15,000 a door. on the south bend that's the city. how much per door? >> are acquisition price was over 200 and will pay another 250 so between 202 50 >> so double >> right. >> thanks. >> that's why these partnerships are really important to get that critical mass of the actual number of affordable units up as high as

we can. >> okay, thank you. before i move on, ms., any additional thoughts? i want to make sure everybody is heard could flush out all this information. >> no. i definitely have been like i was every in the room has said which is kind of weird because i don't know half the [inaudible] definitely, i want to see the former housing good to me i feel a small little silver going up into the sky is not as much as could be done and the art space those lost the blue-collar jobs that were lost to put eight a dollar or 500 square-foot café, i am happy to hear that the [inaudible] rpr is two dollars

per square foot. the buildout for pdr is about $60 per square foot nonunion probably and gifted at $75 a square foot. so it doesn't cost a lot to do pdr shall whereas a ada bathroom that's what we've been on nonprofit. so of course i'd like to see more of the pdr returned to that block or 50,000 ft.2 were lost and were talked about not getting 10,000 back. so, i'm also concerned when i hear thispeople about the were five people living there were only talk about three units and not eight. i think you have some documents that to hold judgment on that until that part of it is more fleshed out to see really two was there, who knew about it and when. so, i don't know where this process is and whether there is one to say, okay what happens to those what if there were eight and three bmr and you just for the project for three. i am kind of hesitant to say great, we got

10,000 out of 50 are should be happy. i just feel like this block was completely destroyed and mr. antonini talked about these are contracted out to those jobs of contracted out to canada. to me, the people who need to walk to work and the blue-collar jobs these to be there been replaced with tech workers were going to get on a bus and commute downtown down south of the border that does make sense to me that this is what you're approving. nevertheless, i would definitely like to see that bmr you look at further to see whether there are eight or three units. i like to see more pdr that was affordable. there's nonprofits that should be involved in renting out that pdr that are like to see long-term lease that would give to make sure that is going to stay affordable and not turn into the tech shop back and paid the big bucks and still the artist over at cell space

left out in the cold because somebody who's making coffee can afford to make more than somebody was making a picture that nobody will buy possibly. so i would just like to see were the community built project. i sat and negotiations when can which was talked about hitting soon be easy to switch out all this parking in turn it into peter. he sees no reason why not and are unaware that got off the table because i seriously don't think mark carson that block is going to be helpful. if you build it they will come. if you don't have parking the people who move on their own not have cars. this neighborhood is thoroughly transit positive. there's no reason in this day and age were building parking lots visit of art space for our speeds used to be. those are my thoughts. scott had one other point that is turned to whisper to me and i do not hear. can you just come up >> sure.

>> thank you, commissioner the one item that took a tremendous amount of labor to grate on the site was that so spaces one early scoops into an entertainment permit when the entertainment commission was formed and the cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. were talked about a future community arts center on that site over to see some way that entertainment permit can be transferred or grandfathered that used to existed sony may not allow entertainment at exist at that site. i don't know but has been a historical thing. tickets nine years. i just want in the record and entertainment permit was issued for that location for the cows 10,000 ft.2 so state and some consideration if this committee art center that is built were institute on a location to take it vantage of the previous permit exist this way to transfer 10 was there ever be fantastic. that's the funny shot the relation between [inaudible] that's j.p. morgan

chase. investment fidel is a local develop your the entertainment permit not losing that >> thank you. so, you answer the question we can ask for more on the land dedication because we opposition c is. about the entertainment permit, acknowledgment, transfer? baby staff >> lb something would have to differ to entertainment commission on. >> is entertainment permitted in this? did come find out right now. i did have a petition regarding trade shop use. the trade shop is pdr use. basically is described in the code as a retail service use that includes personal repair, poster, carpentry, tailoring a couple other items. >> some designer on the computer not open up 100 desks

trade shop. can i do that? >> no that's office use. so permits things that are basically physical ground. like a contractor's office project will be contractor considered a change of use. >> r divisive pdr entry jump why would one or the other? >> pdr is a broad category and trade shop is a subset. within. are you up arts activity light manufacturing, things like that. >> thank you. >> with an example trade shop? >> like a carpenter's office were a post-retailer anything that is basically in a mix producing something. >> i realize were different on the entertainment commission the entertainment permit but typically that's a request for event space in the flood sound, but? >> correct >> this pace were talking

about would be right below residential units which >> we would've a different type of whether it's nighttime entertainment versus right arts activities difference between a dance studio am a which of the arts activity or concert venue would you be nighttime entertainment. so without knowing with the publicist >> one other question i want to open up up our gravity can i do it in trade shop? i think we had this great issue or would that be pdr? >> so >> art studio? >> television arts activities about be allowed to the trade shop? >> well arts activity use. arts activity is separate and treasure. >> both pdr >> that's a question i've the project sponsor pdr gives more variety in tenants and why narrow to trade shop? me that would get us additional >> our proposal was retail

--trade chuck. which is more flexible than pdr trade shop. >> you can't [inaudible] >> i'd experience recently admission and 17 will be taught we had a perfect trade shop and no, it's not customized enough. so it's light manufacturing. it's a big trade chuck is a really limited category. pdr is much broader. trade shop is a sliver. >> so you rather have a broader -why would you not one of a broader brought to attract other tenants? trade shop economic tract-my concern is legal pdr for example on 18th st. then we can to any retail. only accessory retail with pdr use. we do want to have some neighborhoods serving retail a

small amount. >> so, i guess puppy happy to move to approve the project with 12,000 ft.2 of pdr >> second. >> third. >> in a market rate site. >> commissioner johnson >> thank you. i've heard that motion of your thing i would say i don't know going back to commissioner hillis's comments on the site being contiguous. i can be supportive it and not the especially since i actually do believe that if were all still in the commission and eight years time so must we look at this project having

adaptively use of parking. i know it's less than what is allowable but i don't believe that it's can be parking issue. >> that's why give a higher number. spector >> commissioner antonini >> is to make a similar motion with commissioner richards i don't get that trade shop on 18th st. trade shop-retail would be trade shop pdr and most of it you might be will to carve out 300 feet of it because motion is for 12,000 because my math brought us up to 12,300 if you use a whole trade shop. if you just to 12,000 new stove three and feet that could be retail on there. that's the most. >> unsupportive i think it's a good motion >> commissioner mar >> if i may ask you one more time, the site, you intending to provide pdr has a current doing it on it for the housing site? >> we are planning on

providing arts related spaces. >> we don't have entitled building so we will be working with the community and doing design work and line for a permits and engaging a community outreach so we want to devote ground-floor space to arts uses that are needed and desired by the community. >> do you have a must build number of units for the project? >> the muscle number of units is 70. >> that is a mix of different size of units? >> yes, and we tend to emphasize larger units two bedrooms and three bedrooms for families. >> are you concerned because of the site limitations that

this will result in a eight story project? >> we would like to build high density, so we are looking at an eight story project, but again we don't have a design project so we want to pursue that pursue community engagement and build a project that is high quality, aesthetically pleasing, meets the needs of the community and is very habitable for the tenants that live there. >> that means you will be-on repeating probably what you said i could you be putting out an rfp brother architects to design this project? >> that's right >> in what form to the two projects have to code just so the units on the lower part, those for the market rate as well as for the affordable are livable units relative to like an airplane privacy? the fact that the affordable the market rate project is asking for a exemption on the [inaudible] needs the alley as i said earlier, too narrow and hourly for my level of comfort if

designing a comfortable quality project wrapping up, you're what would you do? >> i can't speak to what the future architect will say. in the hypothetical they put out. what i can say is that like all our projects, that we have we are committed to high-quality design. most does provide funding and work with developers to achieve high-quality design. they'll be the case on this project as well. >> uncomfortable you are stepping away from using the portion as proposed right now. i do see some potential problems because the singular 25 feet is of great concern to me. i know another project where the distance between the bone

things is creates major impact on privacy and comfort for those people who live there. mr. zero case, your project will be taller so though be potentially some dialogue in one form or another because in the end, the project is no different lives in the but they should be quality long-term investments in housing that it meets the larger needs of the neighborhood which is the middle of change. i appreciate your permitting to a different degree on the architect because i knew the project build high quality. thank you >> i'm just curious, why they chose to put the affordable slang which to be taller on the south side of the lot number which would then some shadow on that muse and the shorter six rebuilding? >> this in north side alley. so the shadowing of the building is primarily because of the shallowness of the alley

and the height of the building and the tenderloin we have the east-west alleys which are four stories and it kind of works in the majority of alleys, even along chinatown, as well as the middle elevation on knob hill, are 2-4 stories, four stories maximum. most days, one side is taller in order to protect light and air for the other side. we designed county guidelines which require that the angle to the bottom of the adjoining property is a 45° angle leaving like him. you may remove that with a to mark open project on van ness between venice and poke they dedicated themselves to doing that on the alley. this but to the project now with the one side becoming eight stories. i am concerned that will be impacted but i assume it's too high and you take a close look at that.

>> yes. >> date. commissioner omotalde >> i just want at a couple more thoughts. i think this is a good conversation to unpack with the on-site land dedication means. it's drawn here but really it's not designed at all. so it'll be on the affordable there on the challenges that i think the future has their work cut out for him. then, i understand the city wants to make its money is goes far as possible, but that money could've also been spent at another opportunity in the city. right? it's a decision to spend it here, making it such further, but if the developer had just built a number of on-site unit was required to get those something is good i'm not saying it's better or worse. just that it's a decision to be made. lastly when assessing comparing before

90 venice because those very expensive project. >> commissioner antonini >> on at on a motion to recognize to scrap motion with the correction that were read into [inaudible] that for the maker. >> yes. just as a point of verification, commissioners, since were increasing the amount of the pdr space if there's any additional findings you want to later on, is that were requiring more than what this project has been providing. so such as the mitigating of a higher fraction >> higher percentage of the pdr that's lost. we feel that's a good thing. 11.5 hours i'm

not a slam. >> there is a motion that has been seconded. >> you want to call the question? >> yes. >> the motion is approved the project with the staff and amendment there were submitted to the commission as well as 12,000 feet of pdr on the market rate budget. >> on a motion commissioner antonini's bureau >>[roll call vote] >> so moved commissioners the motion passes 502 commissioner moore and wu voting against. >>[applause] >> we do have additional business so they can quietly go outside and bring conversations outside of the great. thank you >> jaspal comment and i have no speaker cards. >> any public comment? not

seen any public on this, the meeting is adjourned. >>[gavel] spans >>[adjournment] >> >> self-planning works to preserve and enhance the city what kind hispanic the environment in a variety of ways overhead plans to fwied other departments to open space and land use an urban design and a variety of other matters related to the physical urban

environment planning projects include implementing code change or designing plaza or parks projects can be broad as proipd on overhead neighborhood planning effort typically include public involvement depending on the subject a new lot or effect or be active in the final process lots of people are troubled by they're moving loss of they're of what we preserve to be they're moving mid block or rear yard open space. >> one way to be involved attend a meeting to go it gives us and the neighbors to learn and participate dribble in future improvements meetings often take the form of open houses or focus groups or

other stinks that allows you or your neighbors to provide feedback and ask questions the best way to insure you'll be alerted the community meetings sign up for the notification on the website by signing up using you'll receive the notifications of existing request the specific neighborhood or project type if you're language is a disability accomodation please call us 72 hours before the event over the events staff will receive the input and publish the results on the website the notifications bans feedback from the public for example, the feedback you provide may change how a street corridors looks at or the web policy the get started in planning for our neighborhood or learner more mr. the upcoming visit the plans

and programs package of our we are talking about with our feedback and participation that is important to us not everyone takes this so be proud of taking ann >> everyone welcome to san francisco on behalf of the california host committee i welcome you to the clean energy in the great city of san francisco i'm jim wonder man and have the honor of serving at the ceo and president of the bay area council we've been honored to work with the department of energy to put together those events the bay area council is a business association representing major businesses from the bay area and very, very proud of our work we've done over the recent years

to address climatic change and proud and pleased you're here san francisco silicon valley and california have made clean tech a corner of economic development and very, very proud of our results while california has the largest population in the largest economy of any state in our nation we're also one of the most request energy efficient states compared to other states california ranks among the lottery in the nation both for per capital energy consumption and per capita spending it took a lot of work but california has shown you can embrace clean energy and cut green house gas emissions and at the same time grow our economy in fact, since 1990 california

has cut its g h g emissions per capita by 25 percent and at the same time increased other energy by 37 percent how do we do those things because of leadership we have incredible leaders two of whom you'll hear from today so, now let me ask the mayor of san francisco ed lee to come to the stage. >> mayor ed lee is mayor of a global city he's a global mayor he's worked hard to make san francisco one of the most of the welcoming alternate cleanest energy city in the united states of america we're proud of his leadership and proud of our friendship with him ladies and gentlemen, the mayor of the city and county of san francisco the honorable edwin

lee. >> (clapping.) >> thank you, jim secretary and distinguished guests america's cup i'm 0 truly honored to be in the company of so many leaders around the world that share in the belief that action only climatic change is necessary and utter will this gathering that the first step towards the implementation of the historic all the time many of the nations ♪ room drafted in paris last year when i attended the gathering of mayors at the the have and have not's con on climatic change france eloquent expressed a true economic california approach must respond to the cry of the earth and of the poor

st. francis is the patriot saint we pride ourselves on a world-class and great city deficits and qualify and sustainability and social justice are all san francisco values those values drive our commitment to lead and act with resolve only climatic change in san francisco we've reduced green house gas emissions 23 percent below the 1990 levels and we're proud of this especially considering our population as grown by 15 percent and our economy has grown by 49 percent over the same time period and as we grow we are growing sustainability sustainable we are productive first hand that solutions u solution to climatic change is a benefit all

people of all income levels and in all neighborhoods still as a look around the room and this about drought and sea level rise and wildfires and conditions we've experienced in our own country's the truth is the impacts of climatic change is have san francisco real city, state, or national boundary lines that's why we need to address the problem that is bigger us but we're each be contributing to while city's take up only 2 percent of landmass wear responsible for 40 percent of land use and global emissions what happens in city's truly changes the world for the better and worse as contributor to global

climatic change the responsibility to address the problem also rests on our shoulder which is work i want to talk about the role that cities should play when it comes to climatic change in the environment and san francisco strategy to reduce our aggressive is represented by 3 simple numbers, zero, 50, and one hundred >> zero waste to our landfills 50 percent of trips by methods other than cars, 100 percent renewable energy, let me briefly share with you awhile zero, 50 and 100 percent are important first zero waste the production transportation and disposal of our wastes comprise 42 percent of green house gas emissions in the united states

recycling and compost mandatory in san francisco help cut this down by creating jobs and conserving resources zero waste is among the quickest and more cost fiscal strategies for governments to implements thanks to our residents and business partners san francisco is an 80 are percent waste diversion rate today next 50 percent transportation. in 201043 percent of san franciscans san francisco's cash footprint came if transportation related emissions our country must move people out of cars and go mass transit and bikes and pedestrian trips in san francisco we're investing everyday in bike share and pedestrian network and our public transportation system and i'm pleased to report that san

francisco reached the 50 percent at the end of counsel table just a few months ago years ahead of our schedule our challenge is now to main and grow that number finally 100 percent renewable energy just over half of our green house gas emissions come from energy use in our city's commercial and residential buildings the birth cash source we have first, we need to use less energy to power and heat our buildings and second we need to change the energy supply and source for renewable power how were we accomplishing this we're leading by example we launched the city solar incentive that helped to install over 3 thousand three hundred solar installations and created green jobs along the way this program

focus on empowering low income and the members to benefit for the city's growing economy has been especially successful we recently launched >> renewable energy program that offers san francisco residents and businesses an electricity option cleaner then their existing energy and just as affordable san francisco is not the only city taking action too there are over 2000 actions teacher to reduce the building energy demand by over 46 cities and countries who ministers are representatives here today for example, to achieve the goals by 2020 the city of vancouver is on the neighborhood e neighborhood scale development a neighborhood strategy focusing on hi density

areas of that city to improve heating and cooling services for those buildings the city of cop hasten has the goal of the first cash neutral capital in the world by the year 2024 and begun transforming the district heating from cool and natural gas to sustainable bio mass 98 percent of cop happiness buildings are connected to the system when is one of the older of its kind the city of seoul in the represent of korea launched the project to reduce energy demands they offers low cost loans that cover 100 percent by increasing the krofrj from to 100 percent they saw an increase in loan if $4 million in 2012 to

$20 million in 2014 and finally i would be remiss if i didn't recognition our own nation's capital in about washington, d.c. they entered into a 20-year power purpose agreement that supplies roughly thirty percent of d.c. electricity for wind power the largest wind power of its kind and entered in by the american city and protected to save transpires that $45 million from over the next 20 years well, all of those examples illustrate judge industries are a crystal partner to advance clean energy solutions cities and states should be the focal point and leverage for the clean ministers to advance goals and have actions

thanks to the advance and the sciences and technology from the private sector partners the intersection between the decashtion of energy and the economies is closer but advancement still requires investment and that's why i want to thank our u.s. secretary monohe is and the department of energy for in their continued leadership of providing grants to the city attorney's office san francisco to scale up new clean energy technology in closing sniff you may know the charter of the united nations was actually signed into creation right here in san francisco in 1945 and a gathering of 50 nations that excluded over 8 hundred delegates rep 80 percent of the are worlds population imagined was put to paper and action to

make the world a more peaceful place for all citizens i believe that 9 climate agreement forgot in parking garage the work today is just as historic it will be recognized as a time when our global community united to create and healthier future for the planet and transforming our economies sustained so i commend our effort to tackles this challenge and honored to host you here in san francisco thank you very much >> (clapping.) >> thank you, ed lee. >> thank you, mayor it is wonderful your the amazing innovative things in san francisco and as well as here what the cities around the world to foster clean energies next my honor to welcome tony early to the stage.

>> now we're a very expensive region from our perspective tony is from detroit i can we have 3 governs in the room actually, i see govern gray davis hi. good afternoon how are you but that a 5 govern in tony it turns out that tovn i didn't was recruited inform run for govern of the michigan by jennifer and he instead tony decided to take a much easier job and moved to california to run pg&e now i'm sure that tony has his days did i make the right decision we never wonder an absolutely expensive leader of an important company please help me welcome the mr. chairman

and president affordable housing and ceo of the pg&e tony early. >> (clapping.) >> jim told my secret jim thank you very much and thanks for mayor ed lee hosting this in his city the mayor is a great advocate of investment in infrastructure to move the city and state ahead i want to thank secretary for eyes and ears to hold this very important meeting here in san francisco i want to start any remarks this afternoon by asking you to picture a scenario in a prosperous western state the climate is b of a weird decades the unafternoon rainfall has product a drought and farmers are despite and everyone

is prop i for a pacific rains unfortunately, they get their wish the heavens opened and failed to close from one state to the other and deserts are flooded 4 feet deep and washing away community in low lying regions the water reaches the tops of light poles and even the state capital is submerged on inauguration day the newly elected govern gets to the ceremony by row boat had the water resides thousand are dead and with an in every 8 homes ask ruined or carried out away that didn't sound evict a scrip for a bad hollywood movie all of that happened in california over the winter of the 18 61 and 62

thanks to a river storm it produced 43 days of rain in a row, in fact, every number associated with that event staggers the imagine not only a loss of life 200 thousand cattle and 29 percent of economy was destroyed and built i the gold rush was driven into bankruptcy the land in denounced sacramento was raised 15 feet and the governor added an extra story to the mansion just in case what is truly mind-boggling 1 and 50 years later the lessons faded the supreme weather is not new we've seen education in california and around the world by climate says those episodes

with increasing if density it and the rising global temperatures make them less predictable to unlike our predecessors in 18 61 we have the guest of understanding why this they come again. >> how much is at stake thanks to the agreement struck in paris to pg&e power plan and the mo u we've taken steps to heed the warning of a century and a half ago i believe we can be successful over the next decades to create the solutions to stave off a global climate discharge in the government setting the right policies and individuals stepping up to do the right thing but even if i'm relevant that won't change at fact warm is

unavoidable we'll have to contend with those the melting of the parlor i'll say sheet in for your or san francisco bay area more than 200 square miles are vulnerable to the sea level rise with the more powerful i'd like to surges a storm lasting a few days can cost economics damages that's why at pg&e our focus on sustainability so the need to adopt to the climatic change to make your systems for resilient we're developing robust procedures and conducting a comprehensive assessment to vault storms and sea level rise as we see heat waves pg&e is among the utility that joined the partnering for climatic resilience to share

best practices we've also commented 200 and $50,000 in stakeholders fund to protect and restore wetlands around san francisco bay area and provide to join with other corporate members of the abusing council and voluntarily supporting that with public officials andville organizations we're now and then a new program to granted money to public-private partnerships to share the instantaneously for climate resilience and specifically one million dollars to support local planning throughout our service area to help community better understand plan four and respond to climate change risks some stisz have sophisticated plans underway others are getting starred or face problems those grants we

can learn from and with a focus on disadvantaged areas where the resources are lacking we see this as ass our commitment in support of communities we serve now for me that mission has then e taken on a personal resilience in the last 6 months i made two trips the first with governing california designation to the united nations climate change and part of geography to ann art can i cack with a faith in our ability to work collectively to solve this problem and i cack from ann articulate how crucial we fulfill that promise sooner than later a prominent research has seen temperatures rise 12 degrees in

his years of working and paris made clear the world is looking to california for some of those answers and gave me the privilege to tell our story that about that success while much remains to be done a clean energy future is moving faster they than we thought possible we made progress at pentagon this year we expect to deliver 33 percent from qualified renewables and when you include our large ohio plant under california laws don't fit the definition more than 45 percent is cash free light years ahead of most other places within the next 15 years we'll be approaching 70 percent as we meet the target of 50 percent renewables and one key to the

progress is bold target by the policymakers and the wisdom of utilities as partners a critical part of this is reaching barriers probation officer notify solutions the utilities have the unique ability to achieve and accelerate the use of low cash technologies and do so on the quick scale and demonstrated we can move renewable energy and drive down costs and keeping the grid reliable and customer bills down we can continue to do that if we work together with the right steps i think that 3 keys are crucial the first is continued investment in the grid the grid is the backbone of the economy and makes more than life possible the smallest grid it the backbone of a clean energy

economy with more distributed intelligence online privately owned solar and electrical vehicles and the like the grid is more acceptable we see the grid that services what the internet don't say platform a network that pulls the energy and integrate them to have more value for everyone the second key to the future adopting our empower right now the market forces are evolving faster the regulatory framework that largely is stuck in the year of thank god that stalls our progress for example, in the u.s. an ongoing debate in meter that is an attempt to put band-aids on a

antiquated process we need to make a changes and indeed examples regulatory environment slows down not just limited to the energy spear for those of you who flew into san francisco you might have noticed the span on the bay bridge the original part of that bridge is the part that is still standing and at the time that was built had the longtime suspected radios radio that is ahead of the grand jury designed is pencils and slide rules and built with more pleasantly labor than modern projects and took over 3 years to build the new span that is half as along with the engineering software and technologies and the crucial

pieces are being reworked as we talk about the need for the infrastructure i'll life you to decide where this fraction can meet the climatic change and the third key comes from the spirit and letter of paris agreement to keep the focus on recuse carbon rather than one particular mix of resources by doing that it gives the utilities and entrepreneurs the freedom to find the options and maximize innovation and provide consumers progress we know the issue of climatic change is no fixed address many of you come from far away's places with our history i'd like to offer a few points i hope you can take back to our home first, as a tackle

the numerous challenges of clean energy and solving the low cash look to the utility sector as a solution this is an industry that is used to doing big things an industry that was designed to serve the public interest part off dna we're good partners and the second as you look at those problems that need solving remember that we are more energy providers we can help with the resilience and clean transportation and we can help with public awareness and education utilities reach into every home additional business in your country we have relationship with millions in for the billions of customers and third look at the utilities in our areas as partners just as individual country's can't eliminate cash neither can we our industry is hunger for

partnerships you can help to facilitate and nurture we'll continue to make progress offender climatic change we have to take advantage the utilities and all of us to work together to accomplish things in a big way but to unleaf this we'll need the right policies the road to paris leads through this room and through all of you the decisions you make in the next few years shape the world for decades and essential to the ability of our country's to deliver on the promises it is your engagement in overseeing issues that assure that future is right and the stories like the california meg flood remain in the history books where they belong thank you very much. >> (clapping.)

>> thank you, very much. tony, say with great confidence not a business leader utility leader or company that has shown greater commitment to clean energy and pg&e we appreciate our leadership so, now we will have a high-level panel decision a sustainable urban systems so let me ask the panelists first welcome the executive director of international energy agency, mr. lien norris leader of petroleum and john first deputy mayor of china, and raphael gonzales the ceo of the north america inc. thank you for being

you are here today enjoy the discussion. >> so ladies and gentlemen, i wish you, please enjoy the american lunch here while we're going to do discuss a few important issues before going to the panel which is a very expressive panel as you can see i want to make a few remarks two racks one about the year 2015 and the second is a major report we are going to release in half an hour 2015 much has been perhaps the most incredible years in terms of the fight against climatic change not only because of paris i'll talk about paris in a moment two other reasons why i

believe 2015 could be a wonderful year for the fight against climatic change one 2015 ladies and gentlemen, zero two emissions did not increase like 2014 two years in a row we have seen zero emissions didn't increase even though global g dp increased more than 3 percent this has not been the case in the history we have seen only 3 times in the history when it didn't increase and all the 3 years is the financial crisis other than that for the first time two years in a right now 14 and 15 emissions remain the same

good news now the year 2015 more than 90 percent of historical capacity the energy were renewable empowers and solar followed by other not the case 90 percent is impressive driven by china, u.s., europe and india and all other countries this is the second excellent news for 2015 and third was, of course, the power agreement i see the years in paris and he can assure you that paris the beautiful paris became much more beautiful after december 2015 i can assure i have many french they'll definitely agree with me

and in paris in addition to the historical agreement there are two other important elements that needs to be underlined number one our agreements were agreement attempts it was not only a top down target but a button up all the countries brought their targets their policies how their issues extremely important and second paris also brought new actresses into the picture in addition to governments we have now the businesses and act dam and others part of game and other actor is local governments the cities therefore the paris is not only the amendment of all the countries of the world by the

moeshltd were extremely important and in my view down to earth now great paris this to our panel we are going to do present or publish a major report in a hour of time two things i want to tell you about this this report focuses on a the progress in technologies we have a tasht in paris below two degrees and it is important to see how we are doing in different green energy technologies i'm not going to details you'll not lose your appetite we're not doing well there is some move a process but there are any areas we say are significantly lagging in our report highlights where we are

progressing better than expectations with a target established in paris the second area the report focuses on the cities as already mentions about the 70 percent of the emissions come from the city 85 percent - so if you want to solve this problem we have to solve the problem in the cities and the cities in our report they're two areas extremely important one the building be sector from the installation of the building to the for example, the cooling requirements which or go to psychopath in the next year's to come and what kind of cooling units we're going to use the standard is extremely important for fighting against climatic

change the other area we look at the transportation we look into how we can see even a bigger move in terms of the electrical vehicles which one million cars another good news but much for electrical cars and what are the favorable conditions but also the underlined the public transportation how to subsidize public transportation and the rest of the moves in the city we see in the beautiful city of san francisco but ladies and gentlemen, the main issue is the emerging countries cities which number of buildings built in the city and the buildings is 75 hundred years of time we should look into the future in the

buildings which are not efficient so those are the issues that we deal with in our report maine the buildings and the transportation issue so we have now an clean out panel here one minister from the government and the mayor from the e merging country and the company which is dealing with energies i will move to the panel and perhaps start to ask the gentleman the minister of norway mr. minister your country is the highest share of electrical cars in the world into the total car fleet in our country how do you see is measures put forward and what is it in the future so far as 20 percent if not share of cars in

norway are electrical cars which compress the gloeshld average of unfortunately zero want one percent so how do you do that. >> mr. minister. >> thank you, dr. for your kind words and a moment to look at in a moment in time negative impact 2012 the paramount decided the goal to have 50 thousand electrical vehicles and that goal was already xhoetsd last year and today 70 thousand fewer electrical vehicles and hybrids if we have hybrids bylaw but basically most of benefits were put in place already in 2002 and 3 and the car didn't

take off until 2000 but not before 2011 and so what are the reasons i think the obvious reasons for things to happen in 2011 was the fact that there were cars on markets that were really cars that could meet the needs of families in a safe manner you have the problem we're starting to address in a proper way to say a greater range in norway we have a power system like 8 percent renewable sources nobody in norway we're able to say okay. your changing our diesel car with pure renewables, of course, the tax and obviously of great importance a high new car sales

tax for cars and however no new car sales tax for electrical vehicles of course, the same goes for petro and hardly any tax think renewable energy on the policy on the basis there is free parking in cities free ferry rides, access to bus lanes and from the government does we have good strong efforts into building capacity we targeted isn't urban where most people live establishing with the transportation for everybody and now we're actually connecting the major cities in

norway and this has led to this norway with 4 million people the second and the third largest market bean by the u.s. and china which has more people than norway as you can imagine and a fiscal benefit the in fact, that is when it comes to fueling meets the connection from petro fueled cars which will forever have high taxation and a competition in the decades ahead but if i might add one thing before i leave the word back to you why do a tremors effort in

reducing local pollutions reducing and co-2 emissions they come up justice department just as much space on the roads to have the basic strategy for ongoing electrical vehicles instead of building public transportation system could be a wrong solution. >> thank you very much mr. minister for highlighting the critical role of public transport even though the cars are moving fast in terms of populating the global fleet and mr. minister said if you have to have electrical cars certain share of your car fleet we need policies and also some regulatory measures and very important as i mentioned mr.

minister that in order to have an amount of benefits electricity fitting the car must be also clean otherwise the benefits may not be so obvious so i just mentioned that the statistics are important for climatic change but the e engineering countries are important so we're very lucky the first deputy mayor of in china under jack and you mr. mayor have an excellent experience in our city of the pushing this smart upper public transportation and sustainable energy can you tell us how you realized what steps you took and whether

or not the story you have in your city can be a model for other cities in china. >> thank you sorry don't speak good english so i need a translator.

>> (speaking foreign language.) >> i want to thank the california the governor of office for inviting us to attend this meeting the president of the china has made a commitment via the unclimatic change in paris the reduction of cash emissions in china and now the whole country is taking action i'm very glad our city is very glad to endorse the mou and now under the leadership of the central government we are connecting with california we find the plan of actions with california and now we are promoting our policies closely.

>> (speaking foreign language.) >> this is a city in east of china been shanghai the american female writers who is also the the nobel prize in litter she grew up in china for 18 years and described as her hometown in china. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> this morning i heard the speech by the government of

california gosh and i agree with him very much we need to transfer our commitment to actions. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> so our apart from the separate transportation we have conducted many efforts for the reduction of cash emission in the city and our efforts can be concluded from 5 perspectives. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> first, we set up the goal of achieving cash peak.

>> (speaking foreign language.) >> at cop 21 pointed out that cashier emissions will peak in around 2030. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> based on a scientific analysis and calculations it is one of the earlier city to achieving 10 years earlier than the national goal and average. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> preceding in the current situation we're confident it we have the ability to realize the

goal. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> second we need the best tools for the contractions how much the cashier emissions like drinking water we have to take sip one by one to know how much water we can drink.

>> (speaking foreign language.) >> by using clot commuting i owe the technologies we segregate land use, environment and sources and industries and safety reduction and cashier emissions by doing so we can hanger and reexamine and check the cash emissions reduction in the city. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> now we conducted realtime online monitoring over 48 key emissions companies in the city the total emissions is 80 percent of the cities total. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> during the past 5 years

over three hundred chemical plans were shut down. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> nearly 11 towns of cashier emissions is reduced. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> third, i think about apart from the activities of the business sector one important actress in the reduction of cash emission is people's livelihood. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> so the motorer mentioned buildings and transportation are very important factors in the

reduction of cashier emissions. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> so we've taken 9 major actions to reduce the cash emissions in the city. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> is action include optimizing the industry and encouraging the low cashier industries for production developing cash buildings and low cash incurs and low cash transportation for low cash

development. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> so, now the low cash development and the awareness have come to - has been raised amongst the people. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> fourth we highlight the highlight of our efforts zero cash demonstration projects in the city. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> we select city and two islands in our city as pilots.

>> (speaking foreign language.) >> last i think that the most for the international cooperation like the meetings during the two days a very good opportunity to learn from other countries and regions. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> in october of this year we were holding international infection of low cashiers and products the interact welcomes companies and expert from all over the world to join us i'd

like to extend our opportunity and hope you have a look in the country city and our low development. >> thank you, mr. mayor for this excellent presentation of achievements of our city is it so interesting what you said your city's image as 2020 before the aggregate promise emissions this is one of the in my view most important outcomes coming from paris the architect of paris agreement and she was agreeing with me the peak in 2020 both the underlying agreement is critical to reach our goal now the other thick that is critical to reach you are goals within the energies in greece in

the urban systems and the entering green power is one we're fortunate to have other green power with gonzales is with us and can you tell us about our sclernz how do you merge the smart renewable and just the generation of models. >> okay. good afternoon and thank you for inviting me to participate first, let me explain the activity of urban power that is part of a viability and it is investing in renewables and investing in conventional duration that works and we we have activities in other places as well

let's start to explain the our vision and strategy for how we are implementing these in the notifies in the renewables so our region is open power to solve the main challenges of the world open power needs to supply energy to the people they don't have energy supplied. >> open power means a tool to be open to innovation and new technologies and to use this system technologies as well as on a different way in a way we have here in nevada an assembled combination of technology, solar tv and solar concentrated open power needs to find and open

ways to manage the energy on a different way as well in relation to the demand and generation and to be open as well to paris so we can't build this by ourselves we need to have paris in this sense so how we approach what is the business model ♪ smart cities we're taken so our vision we are open to the scope and to the local initiatives so it is different for example, in mellone we have builds for the first time in the world the first smart city refell fill a city designed for one hundred thousand people supply renewable

energy solar and we see the light systems as well as market the light systems and smart mobility and smart challenges and the system is implement to manage all this on the right way this is an assembly all assembles are depends on the local scope and the local needs we have all this examples in mellone another smart city by started almost 7 years ago so a combination of generation of solar as well and integrate these in a smart way and incorporate these on a different way and obtaining at the same time efficiency in the management of the grid the

salesforce are important and in this instance sustainable we're doing the specific initiatives with sharing cars for example, and bus car in chillingly and electrical taxis in above the blue and windy sea to we're contributing utility on those different specific requirements and it is important ♪ sense the corporation with the place the local authority and government is very supportive on this sense we can't do this type of initiatives without the support and the engagement of the local activities the most - the locals say the local communities and consumers and so

much it is necessary to solve with them this project so make it as sustainable and reliable and affordable thank you very much so ladies and gentlemen, we're at the end of this two things if i may undermine we understood the cities are extremely critical if we were to address our climate challenge number one and number 2 local governments we need to be bring a critical roll in terms of which measures then and how when it comes to buildings and when it comes to the transportation and when it comes to the electricity generation we've seen the

minister show up how hi country increases cars and from the mayor how successful in emerging countries and how successful and seen from the ceo they agree and visit us and still make money if those 3 can do we can all do as well thank you very much and thank you >> (clapping.) >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you, sir and thank you panel it is very, very go back this is the conclusion of lunch program so at this point we'll be splilt into two groups if you're among the ministers you'll go to the room next door in the colonial room and the c e m along the tower thank you on

behalf of the bay area council it is a pleasure to have you here in san francisco and the bay area hope you enjoy the lunch thank you very

>> [gavel] >> good afternoon and welcome to a special meeting of the government audit and oversight committee of the board of supervisors i am chair and i am joined by supervisor yee to my left.
