Please provide details on the boundary of your plan, and where this differs from your city’s boundary, please provide an explanation.7If the city boundary is different from the plan boundary, please explain why1Albeit 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.

Please provide details on the boundary of your plan, and where this differs from your city’s boundary, please provide an explanation.10Has your local government assessed the synergies, trade-offs, and co-benefits, if any, of the main mitigation and adaptation actions you identified?1Yes
11997759572District of Saanich, BCCanadaNorth America3. Adaptation3.2aPlease 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.11Describe the synergies, trade-offs, and co-benefits of this interaction1Unlike 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). (See Saanich Climate Plan, page 79)
