Section 2. Climate Vulnerability and GHG Emissions | 22Pleasanton Climate Action Plan 2.0 <br />Building a Resilient Community for <br />Future Generations <br />The CAP 2.0 focuses on not only reducing emissions but also building a <br />resilient community. The COVID-19 pandemic revealed the importance <br />of understanding climate vulnerability through the lens of public <br />health, emergency responses, quality of life, and those who are <br />disproportionately impacted. The investments the City makes today will <br />allow Pleasanton to shape what the community will look like, not just <br />for current residents and visitors, but for children, grandchildren, and all <br />future generations. <br />• Some community members are more vulnerable to climate <br />change impacts, including children, older populations, people <br />with chronic health conditions, low-income households, and <br />communities of color. <br />• Addressing climate vulnerability can build resilience to a broad <br />range of crises and hazards, including natural disasters, water <br />shortages, and public health crises—all of which are expected to <br />increase as a result of climate change. <br />• Some of the most cost-effective strategies for increasing <br />resilience and preparing for pandemics involve investing in <br />essential public health infrastructure, including water and <br />sanitation systems, increasing community awareness and education, <br />and increasing emergency response systems. Shoring up the local <br />economy, especially small, local businesses, is another important <br />opportunity to cost effectively prepare for public health and climate <br />emergencies. <br />• By coordinating planning efforts, multiple economic challenges <br />generated by crises from climate change and other impacts can <br />be addressed simultaneously. <br />Did you know? Individual action is just <br />as important as City action to ensure <br />community resilience. Read on to learn <br />what you can do!
