CITY OF PLEASANTON CLIMATE ACTION PLAN UPDATE Climate Action & Adaptation Plan I City of Flagstaff, AZ 12017-2018 Cascadia developed a Climate Action and Adaptation Plan for the City of Flagstaff aimed at tj(i reducing community and municipal greenhouse gas emissions.To ensure compliance with the • Global Covenant of Mayors reporting requirements,Cascadia performed a methodological crosswalk between Flagstaffs 2015 inventory and international greenhouse gas accounting protocols.Our team modeled 2050"business as usual"greenhouse gas emissions and used that forecast as a basis for evaluating and setting reduction targets.With the targets in mind, we then led the development of mitigation and adaptation strategies based on emissions- reduction opportunities and climate risks. Cascadia hosted a series of public workshops Novthroughout the project to keep the community updated on progress,gather input on potential MON CLIMATE ACTION&ADAPTATION PLAN strategies and community priorities, and share the final plan. Pathway to Clean Energy I City of Berkeley I 2019-Present In 2006, Berkeley voters overwhelmingly approved Measure G, a ballot initiative that called for reducing the community's greenhouse gas(GHG)emissions by 80%below year 2000 levels by 2050. In June 2018, Berkeley City Council established a goal of becoming a Fossil Fuel Free City,with a focus on electrification of Berkeley's buildings. Rincon is currently assisting the City with a two-phase policy analysis and implementation plan to identify the technological,equity, and cost considerations around electrifying the current building stock based on age, class, and building type.The report will include an analysis of what policies and programs are needed in order to make Berkeley's existing building stock 100%fossil fuel free—and a detailed and prioritized implementation plan for near-term electrification strategies. Phase 1 of the analysis will quantify the costs and benefits of electrification for a wide range of stakeholders.The approach will be tailored to address impacts on historically marginalized and low-income people and will integrate procedural,distributional, and structural equity considerations.The final report will identify the highest value and most equitable set of measures _ aimed at the elimination of fossil fuels in existing buildings in the near, mid, and long terms. Phase 2 will include a detailed cost-benefit analysis and a comprehensive implementation plan, including funding strategies,for each of the recommended policies. Climate & Energy Action Plan I City of Ashland, OR 12016-2017 ASEAsR01° Cascadia supported the City of Ashland in developing its first Climate and Energy Action Plan. ' The plan sets forth a roadmap to reduce internal and community-wide greenhouse gas n • emissions and prepare the community for future climate changes.The climate mitigation Climate element involved building on the City's recent GHG inventory and working with the City and & Energy stakeholders to model future emissions scenarios,clarify the mitigation goal,develop GHG A I,oRPan reduction targets,and identify and evaluate potential actions.The climate adaptation element included conducting a localized climate risk and vulnerability assessment, developing a list of potential measures, and screening and prioritizing adaptation options.The process also fj included facilitating a citizen committee tasked with steering the plan. Cascadia worked with the City and committee to identify over 180 potential actions and refine and prioritize a final set of 20 short-term and 40 medium-term actions.We facilitated open houses attended by over 250 community members, conducted external stakeholder interviews, and administered online surveys to gather input and build public support. Cascadia produced a final Climate and Energy Action Plan that includes clear plans for implementation and for ongoing monitoring and evaluation. C ASCADIA 18 «»,u....c GROUP
