New Brighton Climate Action Plan 10-1 <br />Cross-Pollinating Actions are foundational or <br />organizational recommendations that apply to <br />multiple Sectors. <br />The flrst few years after plan adoption are critical to its <br />success. Establishing roles and identifying funding will <br />help establish the implementation phase of the plan and <br />ensure the community is on track to achieve its goals. <br />This plan includes robust goals for signiflcant greenhouse <br />gas (GHG) emission reductions and addressing climate <br />resilience. This vision requires commitment and <br />integration of the CAP into local government operations, <br />functions, and services. Ultimately, however, successful <br />implementation of this Climate Action Plan will require <br />the support and commitment of New Brighton residents <br />and businesses. <br /> <br />Implementation is For Everyone <br />The causes and impacts of climate change are broad. <br />Solving it must be equally broad. Some actions will need <br />to be led by City Council, City departments, and/or the <br />business community. In addition, there are steps that <br />households and individuals can take to make an impact. <br />Ultimately, achieving the visionary goals outlined in this <br />plan will require engagement and a sense of responsibility <br />not only by the City of New Brighton leadership and staff, <br />but by the community as well. <br /> <br />Climate Action Implementation is a Journey <br />Starting a decade-long Climate Action Plan (CAP) entails <br />uncertainties, especially regarding future technologies, <br />costs, and regulations, making a full initial cost-beneflt <br />analysis impracticable. This journey will require rolling <br />adjustments to actions that guide New Brighton towards <br />its climate goals. Actions that impact policy, ordinances, <br />or city expenses will need City Council approval, ensuring <br />fiexibility and adherence to intent. <br />Cross Pollinating Actions <br />The strategies and actions of this section are <br />intended to broadly support the <br />implementation of this Climate Action Plan. <br />Implementation and <br />Cross Pollinating <br />Implementation Support Tools <br />To support the City in its initial <br />implementation phase, the paleBLUEdot team <br />has created tools to support implementation: <br /> <br />Implementation and Monitoring Matrix: <br />Excel based tool supporting action <br />implementation and monitoring. <br /> <br />Example Climate Action Policies and <br />Ordinances <br />The paleBLUEdot team has assembled <br />example policies and ordinances supporting <br />some of the strategies and actions included in <br />the City’s Climate Action Plan.
