The purpose of this evaluation was to provide insights into the trade-offs between different responses, the urgency of response that was required, and the availability of resources (both financial and institutional) for implementation. Each action was evaluated based on a series of sustainability, effectiveness, risk and uncertain, opportunity and implementation considerations. The results of this assessment was a list of actions that fell into three cateogries: must do, monitor, investigate further. All "must do" actions were prioritized for inclusion in the CCAP. A strategic gap analysis was then conducted to ensure that all priority impacts and GHG sectors were addressed and any funding or implementation opportunities were accounted for. | Dedicated city team | Feedback was sought in two main ways: consultation with City staff; and engagement with community stakeholders (e.g., representatives from the business, academic and not-for-profit sectors). Community representatives were consulted through the creation of a Climate Change Stakeholder Panel. The Panel met on a regular basis at key decision-points and milestones throughout the project process and development of the Action Plan, including the visioning, climate risk assessment, and action planning stages. Members from a range of organizations participated in the Panel, including utility companies, conservation authorities, academic organizations, school boards, the Mississauga Board of Trade, Metrolinx, and other community organizations. Fun, creative, and engaging tactics were also deployed at a range of public events to get the community talking about climate change and the ways that residents and business owners could make a difference through individual and collective action (see Appendix C for more information on public engagement including a full list of Stakeholder Panel members).Throughout September and October 2019, City staff engaged the public more broadly through a public consultation process. Throughout this period, the City received 100s of responses to the online survey, and spoke to over 500 residents at a series of workshops and public open houses. Including social media impressions, the Climate Change Project reached over 165,000 community members. | Question not applicable | ||

| 709 | Cities 2021 | 59572 | District of Saanich, BC | Canada | North America | 3. Adaptation | Adaptation Planning | 3.2a | Please provide more information on your plan that addresses climate change adaptation and/or resilience and attach the document. Please provide details on the boundary of your plan, and where this differs from your city’s boundary, please provide an explanation. | 1 | 2020 Climate Plan: 100% Renewable and Resilient Saanich | https://www.saanich.ca/assets/Community/Documents/Planning/sustainability/2020-climate-plan-web-v13.0.pdf | Agriculture and Forestry; Building and Infrastructure; Public Health and Safety; Spatial Planning; Transport (Mobility); Water | Chemical change > Atmospheric CO2 concentrations; Extreme hot temperature > Extreme hot days; Extreme Precipitation > Rain storm; Flood and sea level rise > Coastal flood; Flood and sea level rise > Flash / surface flood; Flood and sea level rise > Permanent inundation; Flood and sea level rise > River flood; Storm and wind > Severe wind; Storm and wind > Storm surge; Water Scarcity > Drought; Wild fire > Forest fire | 2020 | Same - covers entire city and nothing else | Albeit the Plan is informed by research and studies that go beyond our municipal boundaries e.g. the climate Risk Assessment and the Climate Projections for the Capital Region report, the actions relate to the GHG emissions inventory (territorial and consumption based) of the District of Saanich in addition to adaptation to climate changes of its residents, businesses and community. We do not have jurisdiction outside of our municipal boundaries. Therefore, the plan includes only areas within our geographical boundaries. | Plan in implementation | Integrated mitigation / adaptation | Yes | Unlike the standard practice of separating climate mitigation and adaptation, the Climate Plan recognizes the interrelated nature of climate mitigation and adaptation strategies and their impact on, or influence by, the vision and goals of the Saanich community, namely Environmental Integrity, Social Well-Being and Economic Vibrancy. This enabled staff to maximize the synergies between these goals, achieving multiple benefits from each strategy and action while minimizing any areas of conflict. For example, overheating may become an issue in buildings in our community, as they are designed for historical rather than future climates, and it is rare for our building stock to have mechanical cooling. To reduce emissions in our residential sector, our modelling shows that upgrading to efficient, renewable energy for space heating, such as a heat pump, is essential for us to meet our GHG reduction targets. Heat pumps also provide mechanical cooling, therefore a fossil fuel to heat pump incentive program helps achieve mitigation and adaptation goals. For those households using oil heating, an upgrade to a heat pump is also modelled to reduce their energy bills, resulting in affordability co-benefits. (See Building and Infrastructure section in the Saanich Climate Plan, beginning page 41.)As an additional example, the Plan commits to develop a land acquisition and protection strategy to support delivery of key goals and services required for mitigation and adaptation (e.g., sequestration, drainage, flooding, biodiversity). Considering both adaptation and mitigation in ecosystem planning can help find important co-benefits. (See Saanich Climate Plan, page 80)Trade-offs between building active transportation infrastructure (mitigation) and maintaining tree cover and permeability (adaptation) were identified in the development of the plan. The Plan commits to establish an internal working group to develop an operational approach to tree retention and replacement on private and public property during development. The operational approach should consider additional and potentially competing objectives (such as maintaining tree canopy cover, enhancing biodiversity, increasing urban density, and expanding the active transportation network).

Yet, we know that socially vulnerable groups reside in the most vulnerable areas subject to climate change hazards. The highest priority adaptation strategy called for in the CAP Update is to provide education and conduct outreach in the community. With this priority identified and armed with the two new analyses, the City’s Climate Action Program seized the opportunity to design an outreach campaign focused on connecting with vulnerable communities. As outlined in the City’s Climate Adaptation Outreach Campaign Plan, the City’s Climate Action Program conducted a broad based 9 month outreach campaign to share the findings of these studies and engage residents in a solutions based dialogue on adaptation responses. Over 50 diverse events were scheduled including hosting informational events at senior housing complexes, our library’s Spanish Language story time, Meals on Wheels dining sites, farmers’ markets and an annual Vive Oaxaca Guelaguetza festival. Community members had an opportunity to take action through community coastal restoration workdays and individual action sheets. Additionally, the campaign’s fact sheets, frequently asked questions, interactive activities, individual action sheets, and the draft and final CAP Update were translated into Spanish and made available online, at our library’s main branch, and at our community events. The City is also scured funding to develop and launch a virtual reality based climate adaptation outreach app that will be promoted to socially vulnerable residents. | Formal schedule for update | ||

Less waste also means that there are fewer vehicles required for transport. In turn, this creates less traffic, lowers GHG emissions and improves air quality. Community health is also improved with the reduction of methane gas and stormwater runoff. Improvements to social equity are also realized. In terms of water conservation, co-benefits include water quality, safety, and reliability of tap water. The need for bottled water is also reduced. | Consultant | Developing strategic outreach and communication efforts to work collaboratively with stakeholder groups, governmental and non-governmental partners, residents, property owners, business owners and other organizations. Held public input meetings to gather feedback, provide input and listen to community concerns received from these meetings. This included identifying stakeholders and decision makers, and initiating the SLR Vulnerability and Risk Assessment with the Manhattan Beach Sustainability Task Force, City Staff, and other partners. One of the major goals of the outreach was to communicate the risks and impacts of current and future hazards through maps, graphics, figures, charts, tables, descriptions and other systems. Another major goal was to gather feedback from these outreach efforts to be incorporated into the decision-making process to establish or maintain City programs or activities, and ensure their long term viability and success. These outreach efforts will be accomplished through the use of conventional techniques including public briefings, educational forums and workshops. Additionally, as part of the larger project, the City of Manhattan Beach developed virtual reality applications that help the community visualize the projected impacts, as well as the potential adaptation solutions. - 3 public workshops on climate action and adaptation- Four Stakeholder workshops focused on SLR science and impacts, vulnerabilities in the community, and adaptation options.- City social media postings on public workshops.- Advertisements in local papers inviting the public to attend workshops.City news stories posted on SLR science and impacts, climate action, vulnerabilities in the community, and adaptation options. | Not known | ||

Synergies and co-benefits of sea level rise adaptation measures includes increased carbon capture and encourages better-functioning ecosystems. | Consultant | Four virtual public meetings (two workshops and two focus groups) pertaining to the Sea Level Rise Adaptation Plan were held during February and March of 2021. Stakeholder groups were identified by ESA and City staff for the Public Involvement portion of the CAAP. The City’s Sustainability Task Force (STF), a group of environmental experts in the community, made additional contributions to the list. Finalized stakeholder groups included: the general public, public agencies, community based and environmental organizations, institutions, elected officials, businesses, utility providers, public health care providers and City departments. The STF was then asked to provide contact information for staff within each organization. Contact information that could not be identified through personal connections was then sourced from the organization’s website. Two sea level rise workshops and two sea level rise focus groups were held prior to the Climate Action workshops, and registrants for these public meetings were added to the stakeholder list. Two weeks prior to the Climate Action workshop, an email was distributed the stakeholder contact list, which comprised of over 170 individuals. A quarter-page newspaper advertisement was printed in 2 local papers during the week before. Social media content was circulated on 3 platforms—Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. To ensure a diverse stakeholder representation, surveys were conducted during the Climate Ready MB Sea Level Rise and Coastal Adaptation workshops, to determine participants zip code and age. In addition to the general public, representatives from organizations such as Grades of Green, Heal the Bay, South Bay City Council of Governments, The Bay Foundation, and staff from City departments attended the workshop. After the workshop, a recording was posted online for the public to access.During the workshop, questions were posed to attendees regarding potential City sustainability plans. Input from participants during the virtual workshop and focus groups were gathered through a series of polls, annotations on screen and responses in the chat box. | No formal schedule for update | ||

Currently climate vulnerability and risk mapping is taking place in 2021 to better understand the impacts and co-benefits to help develop the public health plan. The initial water conservation recommendation was prohibitively expensive and could have unintended consequences in terms of access to public spaces and affordability to residents, starting in 2022, the City will begin a more extensive analysis of a more feasible updated water conservation goal that adapts to climate change. | Community group | A City-Council-appointed community group (e.g. residents, community partners from non-profits, affordable housing, and staff), the Climate Action Task Force, had 3 months to develop recommendations to City Council on how to become a carbon-free, resilient City. Staff worked in that time to distribute a survey to the community, although was disrupted by COVID as primary engagement was planned for March 2020. Staff also convened an eight-person Just Transition Plan Committee of frontline community members to focus on equity and climate action. The Climate Action Task Force and Just Transition Plan Committee had one joint meeting where an equity lens was applied to potential Climate Action Task Force strategies. | Question not applicable | ||

Specifically, such options avoid or reduce the generation of air pollutants from on-grid power generation, demand-side combustion of fuels, off-grid electricity generation and other fuel production. It also reduces outdoor air pollution, which is associated with adverse health effects ranging from worsened asthma symptoms to early death from heart and lung disease. It also results in reduced risk of morbidity and premature mortality. Improvements in energy security can result from several changes in the energy sector, such as increasing combinations of fuel diversity, transport diversity, import diversity, energy efficiency, and infrastructure reliability. Furthermore, by accounting for the power generation potential and anticipated use of the projects, the average number of job-years per gigawatt-hour may be assessed as a co-benefit. For the waste sector, co-benefits of mitigation actions include income generation, human health, energy security, and employment impacts. There are market and non-market co-benefits, which can add to the cost-effectiveness of a mitigation option.For the forestry sector, co-benefits include human health benefits due to reduced air pollution from electricity generation as in the case of biomass utilization; and (ii) for forest protection options, the sale of commodities generated by forest and agroforestry plantations designated for production.The co-benefits for cement clinker reduction, cement waste heat recovery, and biomass co-firing mitigation options in the industry sector include human health benefits due to reduced air pollution from electricity generation. All result in positive health co-benefits (i.e. negative costs) from improved air quality. Within the agriculture sector, co-benefits can be assessed through its air quality-related human health impacts, energy security impacts, and power sector employment impacts of those mitigation options with an impact on the energy sector | Dedicated city team | The Local Climate Change Action plan process was supported by the consultation with other groups such as national government agencies, local non government agencies, community leaders, university partners and private sector organizations. | ||||

It defines the City’s priority projects for funding and development.Baguio City is topographically and geographically vulnerable that can be aggravated by climate change, hence the need to institute measures to ensure a multi-stakeholder initiated environmental awareness, protection and conservation that will redound to a more stable social and economic situation in the City despite projected climate impacts; As a tourist destination, Baguio City aims to preserve its cool climate and pristine environment that is the primary pull factor for tourism; As a hub, where many people converge for various services and purposes, the LCCAP emphasizes on strategies and action areas for the protection of people and the environment.It is to be realized that a single event can cripple City resources, disrupting vital urban services and critical operations; an LCCAP can clear and define the pathway of policy formulation, setting of priorities for funding and development. The presence of an LCCAP also offers long-term protection to the City. A plan sets the pathway forward for a city, thus making us more prepared, adaptable and resilient to external shocks, stresses and future threats. It protects the people and communities, assets and investments, past development gains, as well as future growth from the impacts of natural disasters and climate uncertainties. It can minimize or offset the adverse effects of climate change by reducing existing climate vulnerabilities, increasing the cities’ adaptive and response capacity and managing climate-related risks early on through climate information and climate monitoring. | Relevant city department | The LCCAP 2020-2030 condenses the integrated strategies of the City to address climate change across urban systems and services, encouraging active multi- stakeholders’ involvement in the implementation, monitoring and evaluation. While plan preparation maybe stirred by the City as part of the governance process, it is expected to stimulate a community driven commitment, part of the deliberate attempt towards behavioral transformation to instill long term safety and resilience. | ||

Identification of green and resilient pillars as:Development within carrying capacity, Optimal resource use and management, and resilient communities | Other, please specify: Relevant City Department (City Planning and Development Office), International Organization (World bank), and Consultant (AECOM) | Secondary cities play a vital role in local development and poverty reduction within a country’s system of cities. They also provide substantial opportunities from an economic and growth perspective and set the path for a country’s urban future. However, secondary cities increasingly face the dual challenges associated with rapid urbanization and climate change. Cities are experiencing constraints with respect to basic service delivery, congestion, pollution, biodiversity and natural habit loss, poor land management, flooding and disasters, and lack of affordable housing. The COVID-19 pandemic is further exacerbating this situation that threatens to reverse the country’s development gains. During this pivotal time, the World Bank, in partnership with the League of Cities of the Philippines (LCP), Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), National Economic Development Authority (NEDA), provided support to the City of Baguio in the pursuit for faster economic recovery from the pandemic and better development outcomes that foster sustainability and resilience. The Bank’s technical assistance is designed to help the city in developing green and resilience strategies, innovations and solutions relating to the identified priority areas including land use, flooding and climate risks, smart city management and urban regeneration. | ||

Co-benefits can be found e.g. in building and developing infrastructure. | Relevant city department | Everyone, including the inhabitants and stakeholders, had a possibility to comment and give feedback of the action plan during its preparation. This was done by using a mobile application where it was possible to describe what is important in the climate mitigation in one's own perspective and what the city should consider when preparing the action plan. A workshop was organized for the local municipal boards and the city council members. In the workshop the local politicians worked together with the action plan. Before the decision making of the city council, the municipal boards and everyone who wanted gave their final statements concerning the action plan.The city owned companies are obliged in the action plan to have similar climate targets as the city does.

The review of key performance indicators is presented to the City Council and society. Many people in the community participated in its preparation. Five working groups for the preparation of the strategic plan were established in the following fields: Social Care, Health Care and Security Affairs; Education, Culture, Sports and Youth Affairs; Business and Tourism; Spatial Planning, Enviroment and Ecology; General Managment of Public Services. Members of the working groups were politicians, civil servants, representatives from budgetary institutions (schools, social care, culture and sports institutions, hospitals and other) representatives of universities and colleges, trade unions, business organisations, NGO‘s. Today's actions: Six (6) new ambient air quality measurement points, installing renewable energy supply and energy saving systems, using solid waste and waste water for energy generation (today most of municipal solid waste in the Klaipeda region is incinerated (77%) and used for electricity generation, about 7.5% is landfilled and only 15.2% is composted), renovation of energetically inefficient public buildings, eight (8) purchasing street cleaning machinery which will reduce pollution of KD10. Priority to sustainable mobility principles in the city‘s transport system: environment friendly public transport and electric vehicles and so on.With the ending of the 2013-2020 Klaipeda city development strategic plan and in order to ensure the continuity of the city’s long-term development strategy, the preparation of Klaipeda municipality strategic plan for 2021-2030 has been started. The final document of the Strategic development plan of Klaipeda city for 2021-2030, will be submitted to the Municipal Council for approval in December 2020. | Relevant city department | Formal schedule for update | |||

The city is within the county jurisdiction hence the plan covers the city and all other 7 sub-counties | Plan in implementation | Integrated mitigation / adaptation | Yes | The most notable synergy in relation to timescales relates to the protection of water sources (e.g. rivers) and construction of dams. For example, many dams constructed to collect water during the wet season have brought about massive improvements in the availability of water during the dry season. Moreover in Lake Kanyaboli, which is adjacent to the Yala Swamp, the Yala Swamp Conservation Organization is actively promoting eco-tourism due to species richness in the area, especially birdlife. The threatened Sitatunga Antelope is endemic to the Yala Swamp and the group is encouraging the public to visit the area to watch this mammal and learn about its ecology. This diversifies livelihoods by through employment as boat operators, tour guides and in shops and restaurants. Raising revenue from eco-tourism in this way minimizes shocks and risks from changing weather patterns. Trade-offs:1)In Kisumu County, some afforestation projects have done very well and increases in tree cover in some areas has attracted wildlife such as monkeys. Since these areas are adjacent to farmlands, some farmers complained that their crops were being destroyed by monkeys. Focus group discussions also revealed fears about bees, which are considered dangerous because often they attack livestock and humans. So we see human-wildlife conflicts where biodiversity has increased. 2) To address the issue of water scarcity, many community groups have dug wells and boreholes to secure a constant supply of water. It seems, however, that there are too many wells and boreholes, which is leading to the depletion of groundwater resources. According to the Water Resources Regulatory Authority, water table levels in Kisumu County have fallen and there are concerns that this will adversely affect Lake Victoria.3)Many existing farmer groups are encouraged to adopt organic farming practices because they are environmentally friendly. The trade-off here is that it takes time to realize the benefits of organic production methods. For example, crops can take longer to reach maturity compared to those grown with inorganic manure.Organic farming therefore requires serious investments in order to realize its long-term benefits. In most instances, the necessary investment capacity is lacking, especially among smallholders. | Regional / state / provincial government | Public participation for the CIDP is carried annual during review, this targets all residence of Kisumu County and the public participations are held at the local administrative levels ( wards) | Formal schedule for update | |
