Newsom will preside over the opening of the conference. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is expected in town Wednesday to announce proposed targets reaching to 2050 for reducing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in California. Former Vice President Al Gore will discuss global warming as the keynote speaker at the delegates' closing dinner. The capper of the conference will be the formal signing of the Urban Environmental Accords, an action plan outlining 21 goals for cities, encompassing energy, waste reduction, environmental health, urban design, transportation, water and urban nature.
Ugh.
