A green bank is an economic engine for a city that works for everyone, not just the wealthy. There is a resolution before the San Francisco Board of Supervisors urging city leadership to pursue funding for and establish a San Francisco Green Bank. This is a golden opportunity to encourage city leaders in this work.

The Green Bank would be critical in the city’s fight against climate change. To achieve the city's goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040, the University of California Berkeley estimates that investment of up to $1.3 billion per year will be necessary. The Green Bank will provide a reliable financing avenue to support the development of green infrastructure.

The green bank will also provide crucial support for affordable housing and small business. We cant afford to wait, let the leaders of San Francisco know you support the San Francisco Green Bank.
