Planning for Climate Change Impacts Sustainable/Resilient Communities in Monmouth County September 10, 2008 Jennifer Ewing – Project Manager Presentation Overview Presentation Overview ● ICLEI – Overview ●ICLEI Programs and Tools ●ICLEI’s Adaptation Planning Process ●Questions Mission Our mission is to build, serve, and drive a movement of local governments to advance deep reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and achieve tangible improvements in local sustainability. ICLEI - A Worldwide Movement of Local Governments 11 Offices 68 Countries 6 Continents (over 1000 members) 490 Members in U.S. • Climate Change Mitigation • Climate Adaptation / Resilience • Sustainability Performance ICLEI Communities in Northeast Connecticut New Hampshire New York (contd.) ●Branford Massachusetts (contd.) ●Dover ●Clarkstown ●Bridgeport ●Devens ●Epping ●Cortlandt Dobbs ●Fairfield ●Greenfield ●Keene ●Greenburgh ●Hamden ●Hingham ●Nashua ●Huntington ●Hartford ●Hull ●Portsmouth ●Ithaca ●Stamford ●Ipswich ●Rochester ●Larchmont ●Weston ●Kingston ●Southwest RPC ●Mamaroneck ●Westport ●Lexington ●Windham ●Lincoln New Jersey ●Windsor ●Medford ●Belmar ●Nantucket ●Galloway Maine ●Natick ●Hamilton ●Augusta ●Newburyport ●Kearny ●Bath ●Newton ●Maplewood ●Belfast ●Northampton ●Meadowlands ●Brunswick ●Pioneer Valley Planning ●Montgomery ●Falmouth ●Pittsfield ●Newark ●Greater Portland ●Provincetown ●North Council of Govts. ●Portland ●Waterville ●Reading ●Salem ●Shutesbury ●Spencer Massachusetts ●Amherst ●Ayer ●Belmont ●Boston ●Cambridge ●Central Mass RPC ●Nassau Brunswick ●Parsippany-Troy Hills ●Passaic County ●Somerset County ●West Windsor ●Springfield ●Waltham ●Wellesley ●Williamstown ●Winchester ●Worcester Ferry New York ●New York ●Albany ●Babylon ●Bedford ●Brighton County ●New Castle ●New Paltz ●New York ●North Castle ●Oneonta ●Orangetown ●Ossining ●Red Hook ●Riverhead ●Rockland County ●Rye ●Saratoga Springs ●Southampton ●Suffolk County ●Syracuse ●Tarrytown ●Tompkins County ●Westchester County ●Woodstock ●Yonkers ●Yorktown 119 Total Pennsylvania Rhode Island ●Haverford ●Providence ●Lower Makefield ●Mt.

ICLEI Toolkits, Publications, Templates ICLEI’s Adaptation Campaign ● Climate Action Handbook ● Adaptation Guidebook ● Milestone Guide ● Transportation and Land Use Toolkit ● Urban Forestry Toolkit ● Green Fleets Guide ● Local Climate Programs ● Example Ordinances ● Resolution, Inventory and Action Plan Templates ● Sustainability Planning Toolkit (in development) www.icleiusa.org Climate Change Mitigation ICLEI’s5 Adaptation Milestone Campaign Planning Process Make Commitment Milestone 1 Inventory Emissions Waste Milestone 2. Set Target/Goal Milestone 5. Monitor/Evaluate Progress Milestone 3. Establish Local Action Plan Energy Milestone 4. Implement Local Action Plan Transportation ICLEI’s Adaptation Program Climate Resilient Communities (CRC) ● ● ● ● Recognition of need for climate adaptation as well as mitigation work Link local governments to available climate change science Identify opportunities for increasing resiliency Sustainable Approach ● ● Built Environment Natural Environment Social Environment Launched ICLEI’s Climate Adaptation Program in 2006 Pilot of Climate Resilient Communities (CRC) ● ● Keene, NH Homer, AK Climate Change Adaptation ICLEI’s5 Adaptation Milestone Campaign Planning Process Make Commitment Sea Level Rise Milestone 1 Conduct Resiliency Study Milestone 2 Prioritize Actions Set Goals Milestone 5 Milestone 3 Monitor/Evaluate Progress Develop Adaptation Plan Extreme Events Milestone 4 Implement Adaptation Plan Global Warming Planning for Adaptation Action 1 Goal 1 Planning Area Forecasted Change in Climate Vulnerability Action 2 Action 3 Action 1 Goal 2 Action 2 Action 3 Milestone 1 The 5 Milestone Adaptation Planning Conduct Resiliency Study Process ● Established a committee Identify who should be involved Mayor, City Manager, Emergency Management, Public Works Director, Planning Director, City Engineer, Local University Representatives, Regional Planning Council Representatives, Climate Scientist, Hospital Representatives, industry specialist, etc… ● Identify climate change impacts for your region Assess regional impacts Identify local impacts ● Begin discussion on vulnerable and resilient social, natural, and built environments ● Build support and provide education Potential Community Vulnerabilities ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Flooding (hurricanes, extreme weather events) Building damage (extreme weather events, hurricanes, tornadoes, Nor’easters, ice storms) Power outages/damage (ice storms, extreme heat, extreme weather) Water pollution/contamination (intense storm events, rainfall events) CSO overflows (intense storm events, intense rainfall events) Drought (extreme events, increased temperature) Public Health impacts (mortality, decreased access to cooling centers, spread of disease) Bridges, Roads, Public Transportation (increased extreme weather events, increases in temperature) Milestone 2 The 5 Prioritize Milestone Adaptation Process Actions &Planning Set Goals ● Prioritization workshop with Committee members Assess Climate Change Risks Risks associated with different sectors Identify goals and actions What are the opportunities? What actions should be taken? Milestone 3 The 5 Milestone Planning DevelopAdaptation Adaptation Plan Process ● ● ● ● ● START Framework (roadmap) for approaching adaptation Outlines preparedness Goals Actions to achieve Goals Timelines and associated costs with actions NOTE: both opportunities and measures to increase resiliency should be explored Milestone 4 The 5 Milestone Adaptation Process Implement the Planning Plan ● UPDATE existing community plan ● ● Evaluate opportunity for integrating results into comprehensive plans IMPLEMENT identified actions ● ● ● Create and adopt policy Identify funding, staffing, other resource needs, etc. Create a timeline and stick to it Milestone 5 The 5 Milestone Planning Monitor, Adaptation Evaluate, & UpdateProcess ● ● ● ● ● ● Continue implementation and keep track of progress Report progress to the elected officials, community, and funders 2 to 5 years in – take stock and evaluate focus Revisit updated climate forecasts Change course, if needed Update the plan Best Practice Example Halifax Sustainable Mitigation & Adaptation Risk Toolkit (ClimateSMART) ● ● ● ● ● Recognizing municipalities vulnerability to climate impacts Developed to mainstream climate change mitigation and adaptation into municipal decision-making Utilizes all three orders of government and private sector Developed in March 2004 as prototype Tools Developed: ● ● ● ● Vulnerability Assessment Community Action Guide to Climate Change and Emergency Preparedness Cost-Benefit Analysis Developers – Climate Change Risk Management Guide www.halifax.ca/climate/ Jennifer Ewing Project Manager [email protected] 212-788-1629
