合作共创清洁未来
Where we live, 人们很容易把环境视为理所当然. But the fact is, air pollution and poor water quality persists and we recognize the need to do our part to preserve and enhance the region’s communities for future generations.

Environmental Champions
We’re proud of providing resources to nearly 100 environmental non-profit organizations to help them advance their mission to improve the environment. It’s not about charity, it’s about investing in the people and organizations that are making positive contributions to the environment. Learn more.
气候科学教育青年-气候科学联盟
More than 200 organizations have joined the Climate Science Alliance and they receive training on how to interpret climate resiliency to different audiences. 通过他们的气候儿童项目, 气候科学联盟已达26个以上,000 youth in 2018 alone. Their programs are actionable, giving people hope, and the tools to make a difference.
连接孩子与海洋-海洋发现研究所
Ocean Discovery Institute empowers young people from diverse backgrounds through science-based exploration of the ocean and the urban environment. 2018年,Living Lab向公众开放, dramatically increasing the Institute’s capacity to provide meaningful environmental education to City Heights youth. Students that go through the Living Lab come away understanding the importance of clean water and recognizing that trash in their community will eventually make its way to the ocean through San Diego’s vast system of watersheds. We support these educational programs that inspire kids to dream big and pursue careers in ocean conservation, restoration ecology, and other similar fields, 培养下一代环保专业人士.
减少食物浪费-圣地亚哥食物系统联盟
圣地亚哥食品系统联盟正在努力发展和维护一个公平的, 圣地亚哥县健康和可持续的食物系统. Their projects focus on reducing food waste by promoting the best use for food surplus. San Diego County is home to more small-scale farm operations than anywhere else in the nation, and the Alliance is mobilizing those farmers to adopt carbon farming methods that will help to sequester carbon while producing local, nutritious food. We’re proud to support innovative GHG reduction efforts and waste reduction programs with the Alliance and their members.
Community Partnerships
Clean water, clean air, clean energy, climate change, open space, 自然栖息地——它们都是相互联系的,都有专家. 我们帮助激活这些专家并召开区域对话, workshops, 举办论坛和会议,制定全面的解决方案,以改善环境. We also develop multi-faceted ongoing partnerships to encourage systems change that reduce impacts to our planet and our future.
圣地亚哥县流域峰会
The 圣地亚哥县流域峰会 brings more than 300 stakeholders representing nonprofits, educators, regulators, utilities, municipalities, environmental agencies, 供水和污水处理区, 部落领袖和其他环保倡导者. We joined an advisory committee made up of local environmental leaders plan the annual Summit, highlighting successful environmental education programs; methodologies to furthering the protection, preservation, and enhancement of local ecosystems; and providing meaningful dialogue on San Diego’s environmental future.
San Diego Climate Summit
In March 2018, we joined local leaders and environmental experts gather for inaugural climate summit, hosted by Climate Science Alliance in partnership with Scripps Institution of Oceanography and SDG&E. 圣地亚哥是200多种受威胁或濒危物种的家园, 使其成为世界上生物多样性最丰富的地区之一. 气候变化影响着生物多样性和我们的生活方式, 200多人聚集在圣地亚哥参加首届气候峰会. The summit provided an in-depth look at how climate change impacts our region’s environment by bringing together climatologists, ecologists, 非营利性和公共机构工作人员, 以及部落和商业领袖. The Summit also previewed recently released research as part of California’s Fourth Climate Change Assessment, looking at the ecological impacts of climate change on San Diego as a biological hotspot. 完整的报告可以查看 here.
American Lung Association
污染造成的空气质量差会对健康造成严重后果, 尤其适合小孩和老人. In fact, the American Lung Association reports that air pollution leads to increased rates of asthma, 紧急护理甚至住院治疗. That’s why the American Lung Association’s work has expanded from no smoking to a more holistic view of air quality and programs that have a positive effect on the air we breathe. 支持交通运输行业向零排放车辆转型, like electric cars is a high priority for the American Lung Association and for SDG&E.
扩大圣地亚哥的树冠
圣地亚哥的树冠估计只有10%, 然而我们的气候行动计划要求到2035年树冠覆盖率达到35%. SDG&E is supporting two organizations – the Balboa Park Conservancy and Tree San Diego in their efforts to plant trees and teach proper tree care to improve tree survival. 树木在我们的气候中扮演着重要的角色,提供阴凉和吸收碳. Our support has allowed the Balboa Park Conservancy to plant more trees in Balboa Park, 这个地区在最近的干旱中失去了大量的树木. 我们还与圣地亚哥树合作,开展他们的“了不起的树”项目, educating youth about the importance of trees and teaching them valuable lessons in how to care for trees.
