Everett's Climate Action Plan must outline and identify: <br /> 1. Mitigation - potential courses of action for identifying and implementing strategies to achieve citywide <br /> reductions in greenhouse gas emissions for both municipal and community operations. <br /> 2. Adaptation -potential strategies to prepare the City and its residents for circumstances resulting from <br /> a changing climate,such as storm events,flooding,fires and sea-level rise. <br /> 3. Examples of what Everett residents can do in their daily lives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and <br /> their own carbon footprint. <br /> 4. Policy recommendations and economic opportunities associated with mitigation and adaptation <br /> strategies. <br /> 5. Non-motorized transportation issues through the identification of policy actions. <br /> 6. Issues and recommendations for subsequent actions. For example,the City's Comprehensive Plan <br /> climate element suggests actions that the city has not taken. <br /> Climate change is a global problem, not limited to any single city, region or country,the Plan should <br /> endeavor to align the City's response with other initiatives at the regional,state and national levels. <br /> 2.5 POTENTIAL OUTLINE <br /> I.
