6 This plan is the culmination of robust stakeholder input and collaboration and will guide the Commission s steward-ship of the public lands and resources entrusted to its care, including meeting challenges such as adapting to sea-level rise, addressing climate change, and promoting public access. This strategic plan ensures that today s decisions are made with an eye to the future. It leverages technolog y, invites renewable energ y development, and outlines an investment plan for the School Land Bank Fund, says Lt.

7 Governor and Commission Chair Gavin Newsom. Perhaps most importantly, it incorporates the impacts of sea-level rise and climate change, greenhouse gas emissions, and litter and marine debris within its future project analyses and reviews. The Commission recognizes that the challenges associated with climate change require the State to dramat-ically change the way it produces and consumes energ y, and that there is a bridge to a sustainable future. The Commission is committed to building that bridge through efforts to responsibly increase its renewable energ y development and facility portfolio, while responsibly managing existing energ y production and development strategic plan positions the Commission as a leader in land and resource management, prioritizing transparency within the Commission s practices and operations, and setting the highest levels of safety and environmental protection for the resources under its jurisdiction.

8 It also calls for leveraging technolog y to increase public engagement and to be more efficient and responsive in all facets of its work. This plan is truly stakeholder driven; it is a living document that will guide the Commission s work through 2020, says State Controller and Commission Member Betty Yee, who will chair the Commission in even-numbered years. The emphasis on the Commission s fiduciary responsibilities, partnerships, ensuring adequate staffing and balanced land and resource management are critical elements of this plan, and it is a plan we can be proud of.

9 The Commission manages hundreds of thousands of acres of state-owned lands and resources. Its primary functions are to issue leases for use of these lands and resources, as well as to prevent oil spills at offshore plat-forms and marine oil terminals and protect state waters from marine invasive species introductions. This plan enables the Commission to adapt to emerging challenges, while creating a meaningful and rich framework to effectuate state policy goals, promote public access, and enforce the protections of the Public Trust Commission and its staff are committed to rolling up their sleeves and diligently working to implement the goals and strategies in this strategic plan, continuing to be a model of effective, nimble government, pro-viding the highest levels of stewardship and transparency.
