Secondary Actions Staff recommends a set of 10 secondary actions which are predominately resilience and adaptation actions. As seen in Attachment 2, the list includes actions in Water Resources in addition to the sectors noted above. It is important to note that while some of the resilience and adaptation actions may not directly impact GHGs as calculated in the inventory, they often have other benefits (e.g., reducing wildfires or decreasing water consumption) and may have indirect GHG mitigation benefits. Staff suggests the phasing/timing of the secondary actions be flexible and these actions be implemented as resources (i.e., staff time and funding sources) permit and/or opportunities to partner regionally become available. If resources and/or partnerships do not become available for these actions, staff suggests they do not get pursued. However, continuing to include resilience and adaption actions in the CAP 2.0. as secondary actions allows them to remain "on the radar" as the City considers future work plan and staffing priorities, and allows the City to implement them when feasible and/or when opportunities arise. Summary Staff's recommended package of primary and secondary actions strikes a balance between co -benefits, community cost, City cost, community input, and staffing assumptions. It also continues to consider resilience and adaption actions without overburdening the City budget and resources - this supports the CAP 2.0 vision of not only reducing emissions but also improving quality of life and public health, cultivating community resilience and adaptability to future effects of climate change, as well as promoting thriving ecosystems and a vibrant economy. Figure 4 below summarizes the annual cost (to the City and to the community) of the recommended set of primary and secondary actions, as well as the associated GHG emissions reductions. The 2030 CAP 2.0 target is ambitious. However, implementing the recommended primary actions would mean that Pleasanton is anticipated to exceed the 2030 target by an estimated 2,072 MTCO2e mass emissions and 0.02 MTCO2e per capita, as seen in Figure 5 below.
