The City is already implementing these actions <br />and will continue to do so to meet its targets. GHG emissions and co-benefits <br />were evaluated for these, but costs were not, as they are already contemplated <br />in other plans and policies. These actions are denoted with an "E." <br />Primary actions are new actions in the CAP 2.0 that are primarily GHG <br />mitigating actions. These actions are needed to meet emissions reduction <br />targets. They will be implemented according to the implementation plan. <br />These actions are denoted with a "P." <br />Secondary actions are new actions in the CAP 2.0 that are primarily resilience <br />building actions. These actions will only be implemented as resources (e.g., <br />staff time, grants, and other funding sources) and/or partnership opportunities <br />become available. These actions are denoted with a "S." <br />Description of action <br />Description of action <br />Description of action <br />Description of action
