New Brighton Climate Action Plan 0 -5 <br />This Climate Action Plan should be viewed as only the beginning of an on-going process to <br />evaluate and advance the region’s climate resilience, GHG emissions, and overall <br />sustainability goals. The plan includes a Climate Action Implementation and Cross Pollinating <br />section providing detailed actions in a framework for launching, guiding, monitoring, and <br />evaluating the execution of this plan. (see Section 10) <br /> <br />Climate Action Plan as Living Plan <br />This Climate Action Plan is a "living plan," designed for continual adaptation, rather than <br />being a static document. Implementation will be marked by regular assessments of progress <br />and necessary adjustments. The 2030 emissions reduction goal acts as a stable guide, <br />acknowledging that initial actions might not immediately fulflll long-term objectives. Regular <br />plan evaluations will highlight needed additional steps, or enhancements to action targets, to <br />ultimately reach the 2030 GHG reduction goal. <br /> <br />Implementation is For Everyone <br />Addressing the widespread causes and impacts of climate change necessitates equally <br />comprehensive solutions. This plan is designed to spur city-wide climate action. Success <br />hinges on the endorsement and application of this plan by residents and businesses <br />throughout the city. <br /> <br />Key actions must be spearheaded by various stakeholders, such as the city’s elected offlcials, <br />city departments, city staff, the business community, as well as households and individuals. <br />Achieving the ambitious goals laid out in this plan mandates active participation and a sense <br />of duty from the entire community. Constant involvement, advocacy, and action towards <br />measures deemed signiflcant are crucial components for all stakeholders involved. <br />Our Next Steps <br />Our Goal <br />22.0% Transportation and Land Use 99,569 43,570 <br />19.7% Buildings and Energy 146,875 96,905 <br />0.5% Waste Management 7,183 6,025 <br />0.0% Water and Wastewater 539 1,545 <br />57.9% Remaining GHG Emissions 254,166 148,045 <br />Reduction <br />from <br />Baseline <br />2013 <br />Baseline <br />2020 <br />Goal
