In addition, Cascadia collected and analyzed data on current programs and <br /> practices, used the results to identify and evaluate new opportunities for action,and <br /> drafted content for the updated Strategic Plan. <br /> Currently,Cascadia is working with the City to analyze trends in the city's community-wide <br /> GHG emissions and develop recommendations for updated emissions reduction targets <br /> and strategies.As part of this work,which was funded by a regional Department of Energy <br /> grant,Cascadia reviewed and updated two emissions inventories for the City. Based on the <br /> results of the analysis, Cascadia will create a Climate Action Technical Report that includes <br /> updated emissions targets and emissions-reduction strategies for the transportation, land <br /> use, residential and commercial property,waste,and energy sectors—to inform the next <br /> update of their ESI strategic plan.As part of the current inventory work, Cascadia is also <br /> providing training and support to help City staff continue to update the inventory over <br /> time.As part of this project, Cascadia is also conducting contribution analyses for the cities <br /> of Ashland (OR), Durham (NC), Olympia (WA), and Shoreline(WA). <br /> �(�{_ O Climate Action and Adaptation Plan City of Flagstaff, AZ 12017-2015 <br /> a�� "l"' It Reference:Jenny Niemann I (928) 213-2150 I jniemann@flagstaffaz.gov <br /> •,Tette 1'' <br /> - 411 Cascadia recently partnered with the City of Flagstaff to develop the city's first ever Climate <br /> Action and Adaptation Plan aimed at reducing community and municipal greenhouse gas <br /> fi <br /> • emissions. Unanimously adopted by City Council,the plan includes background <br /> information on emissions trends and anticipated climate impacts, a robust list of strategies <br /> Nik <br /> '`` and actions to meet specified climate goals, and an action-oriented implementation <br /> 318 cLIIIATEAMA s ADAPTATION=1a: strategy for hitting the ground running.We modeled 2050 "business as usual" GHG <br /> emissions as a basis for setting reduction targets and identified and prioritized climate <br /> action strategies, including cost effectiveness and co-benefit considerations. Cascadia also <br /> validated the community GHG inventory, modeled emission reduction potentials, planned <br /> and facilitated public and stakeholder engagement events, and wrote and designed the <br /> final plan. <br /> C ASCADIA 14 <br />
