The San Francisco Climate Action Plan is a greenhouse gas reduction initiative adopted by the City and County of San Francisco, USA in 2002. It aims to reduce the city's greenhouse gas emissions to 20% below 1990 levels by 2012.San Francisco's annual greenhouse gas emissions were 9.7 million tons equivalent carbon dioxide (eCO2) in 2000., which was 12.5 tons eCO2 per person. This level of emissions is lower than both the state and country in which San Francisco is located: California's annual per capita emissions of 14.2 tons eCO2 in 2000 2], and USA's annual per capita emissions of 20.4 CO2 in 2000. However, it is much higher than the emissions level for the world as a whole, which was 4.4 tons CO2 per person in 2003.
