Section 4. Implementation | 70Pleasanton Climate Action Plan 2.0 <br />Action Considerations <br />S5. Environmentally preferable <br />purchasing policy <br />  Alameda County is currently preparing a policy; consider partnering with the County and/or neighboring jurisdictions that may <br />already have these policies in place. <br />S6. Embodied carbon reduction plan  This regional plan will benefit ecosystem health and support a local, circular economy, including the potential for new, green jobs. <br />  The plan is generally well-supported by the community, but the possibility of new requirements and citywide changes to <br />construction approaches could concern some businesses and would benefit from additional engagement with those entities. <br />P13. Urban Forest Master Plan  The benefits to public health, ecosystem health, and local air quality will build support for this plan by the community and among <br />businesses. The possibility of more regulations may encounter some opposition and require additional engagement. <br />P14. Soil management and carbon <br />sequestration projects <br />  While businesses and community members generally support the carbon storage, ecosystem health, and aesthetic benefits <br />of these projects, their scale and location, as well as the relatively higher cost to the community, may face some pushback. <br />Engagement with these community members is recommended. <br />S7. Carbon sequestration research <br />and tracking <br />  Many carbon sequestration research and tracking methods are still under development. <br />S8. Green Stormwater Infrastructure <br />Plan <br />  Throughout its development and implementation, the plan should prioritize stormwater projects—paired with the anti- <br />displacement efforts in the Housing Element (Action E6)—in underserved communities to prevent green gentrification and <br />inequitable distribution of water resiliency. <br />  Zone 7 is currently developing a Green Stormwater Infrastructure Plan; there may be opportunities to partner or support their <br />planning efforts. <br />P16. Comprehensive climate <br />awareness, education, and outreach <br />  Ensure outreach is accessible across communities, such as by providing services and materials in multiple languages. <br />S9. Wildfire preparation, prevention, <br />and education <br />  Wildfires and their associated impacts hit vulnerable populations especially hard; these populations should be a focus for this <br />action.
