research has found that the amount of carbon that can be sequestered in san francisco through nature based solutions is relatively small. it's not going to make up as much of the proportion of emissions that we need to cut as we had hoped. so we are moving our focus away from sequestering emissions but still advancing the conservation of biodiversity. so again these are still somewhat under construction but we're looking at having a goal around biodiversity, a goal around greening and access to it and a goal around trees which is 30,000 new street trees by 2030 as a key part of a healthy urban forest. >> we're starting engagement very soon. this is a tentative timeline. the events are somewhat tentative as well. there's been a pause on contracts which is pausing some of our planning but we're moving forward what we can and we invite you to participate in any and all of these that you would like. my understanding is that commissioners participate in some of the outreach. last time and we very much invite your feedback how this plan can be stronger, how to build support and action. >>
