The City of Palo Alto, several nonprofit conservation groups and organizers of the United Nations Association Film Festival (UNAFF) hosted a press conference to launch Palo Alto's communitywide goal of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 5% by 2012 while drawing attention to the UNAFF.
The theme of UNAFF 2009, which took place in Palo Alto and at Stanford University, was "ENERGY & THE WORLD". The City of Palo Alto marked the occasion by launching its community-wide goal of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 5% by 2012 as called for in the City’s Climate Protection Plan.
