San Diego, 2050 is Calling.

Why 2050?

2050 is not as far away as you think. Decisions we make today will affect how well our children are able to cope with the impacts of climate change a few decades from now. Unless our priorities shift toward reducing emissions of heat-trapping gases and preparing for climate change, these impacts are projected to continue to worsen for our children and their children after the year 2050. 

Imagine a future where our children and grandchildren are able to enjoy pure air and clean water, the regional economy is vibrant and everyone can enjoy the beautiful outdoors. Without local leadership and collaboration to prepare for the impacts of climate change, this future may not be a reality. We can all agree that now is the time to work together to protect our children’s and grandchildren’s quality of life in the San Diego region. 

About "2050 is Calling" This report is part of an effort by Climate Education Partners (CEP) to engage local expert scientists, educators and a wide range of community leaders. Together, we are helping San Diegans learn more about, prepare for and respond to the impacts of a changing climate.

	2015 Brief Analysis from Interviews with the San Diego Region's 100 Key Influentials Scientists and San Diego regional leaders care about our quality of life and our local economy. While everyone is experiencing changes in our local climate, scientists expect the changes to become more unpredictable and pronounced by mid-century. Scientists know we will be affected in these critical quality of life areas if we don’t take action now. Unlike the scientists, our regional leaders are not quite so aware—yet! When Climate Education Partners surveyed 100 key influential leaders in the San Diego region, and asked how increased temperatures will impact our region for future generations, this is how they responded.
