Section 4. Implementation | 71Pleasanton Climate Action Plan 2.0 <br />Action Considerations <br />S5. Environmentally <br />preferable purchasing <br />policy <br /> Â Alameda County is currently preparing a policy; consider partnering with the County and/or neighboring jurisdictions that may already have <br />these policies in place. <br />S6. Embodied Carbon <br />Reduction Plan <br /> Â This regional plan will benefit ecosystem health and support a local, circular economy, including the potential for new, green jobs. <br /> Â The plan is generally well-supported by the community, but the possibility of new requirements and citywide changes to construction <br />approaches could concern some businesses and would benefit from additional engagement with those entities. <br />P13. Urban Forest Master <br />Plan <br /> Â The benefits to public health, ecosystem health, and local air quality will build support for this plan by the community and among businesses. <br />The possibility of more regulations may encounter some opposition and require additional engagement. <br />P14. Soil management <br />and carbon sequestration <br />projects <br /> Â While businesses and community members generally support the carbon storage, ecosystem health, and aesthetic benefits of these projects, <br />their scale and location, as well as the relatively higher cost to the community, may face some pushback. Engagement with these community <br />members is recommended. <br />S7. Carbon sequestration <br />research and tracking <br /> Â Many carbon sequestration research and tracking methods are still under development and experimental research will require research and <br />funding partners. <br />S8. Green Stormwater <br />Infrastructure Plan <br /> Â Throughout its development and implementation, the plan should prioritize stormwater projects—paired with the anti-displacement efforts in <br />the Housing Element (Action E6)—in underserved communities to prevent green gentrification and inequitable distribution of water resiliency. <br />P16. Comprehensive <br />climate awareness, <br />education, and outreach <br /> Â Ensure outreach is accessible across communities, such as by providing services and materials in multiple languages. <br />S9. Wildfire preparation, <br />prevention, and education <br /> Â Wildfires and their associated impacts hit vulnerable populations especially hard; these populations should be a focus for this action.
