The most vulnerable population includes older adults, individuals with comorbidity conditions, groups in social backwardness condition, pregnant women and people working in the health sector.Hermosillo’s sanitary contingency plan is been enforced since March 2020, after the first identified COVID-19 case in Sonora. Besides social distancing, the plan includes restrictions on mobility and special regulations for hospitals, the industry & commerce. The local government has taken complimentary actions to mitigate COVID-19 contagion as well as the economic impacts of the pandemic. These include discounts in municipal property tax and water service, the promotion of individual sustainable mobility (such as cycling, and the design of emerging cycle paths), free COVID-19 rapid testing, food support for people in vulnerability conditions and the inspection & certification of commerce in anti COVID-19 sanitary measures compliance for their reopening.According to the figures published by the Citizen Committee of Public Safety in Hermosillo, domestic violence has increased more than 1000% from April to May 2020 (during the COVID-19 lockdown). The Secretariat of Security and Civilian Protection is providing personalized attention in cases of domestic violence through the 911 emergency number. The government is also working on the strategy "lockdown without violence" , motivated by the COVID-19 health contingency, to raise awareness among women so as not to minimize violence or accept any type of violence as normal event.01/20/2022 02:27:05

Climate Hazards and VulnerabilityClimate Risk and Vulnerability Assessment2.0bPlease attach and provide details on your climate change risk and vulnerability assessment. Please provide details on the boundary of your assessment, and where this differs from your city’s boundary, please provide an explanation.9Please explain1The Climate Action Plan for the Eagle County Community reflects a strong commitment to reduce the community’s GHG emissions by a minimum of 80% by 2050, an amount in alignment with that of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014). Local, regional, and state efforts have become the cornerstone of climate action because national and international energypolicy and emissions reduction efforts are slowed and often stifled by policy, politics, and bureaucratic processes. Furthermore, local governments and communities are often in a better position to engage citizens and have an immediate and direct impact toward reducing GHG emissions.This climate action plan is specifically focused on mitigation. Climate mitigation is defined as efforts that reduce or prevent GHG emissions. Climate adaptation is defined as efforts that help the community prepare for and adjust to the current and future impacts of climate change. Although this plan does not specifically address climate adaptation, other efforts are being taken throughout the Eagle County community to prepare for the changing climate.Education and Outreach: Greater community awareness and understanding of climate change is needed so that people can participate in climate-friendly sustainable behaviors in their daily lives at home, at work, and throughout the community. Effective community engagement in climate action strategies requires partnerships between multiple sectors, targeted education and outreach methods, and continual evaluation of program successes.Residential Energy: Residential homes create 24% of the total GHG emissions generated in Eagle County. There is a signifi cant opportunityto reduce residential energy use with increased energy efficiency and conservation efforts. The Colorado State Demographer reports that of Eagle County’s 31,675 housing units (this fi gure does not include commercial lodging properties), 38% were considered “vacant” or unoccupied in 2014. Energy effi ciency retrofi ts from local programs, such as Energy Smart Colorado, can reduce a home’s energy use by 20-30% and save residents hundreds of dollars on their annual energy bills.Commercial Energy: Commercial buildings and facilities account for the top sources of GHG emissions in Eagle County. A large amount of energy waste occurs due to inefficient buildings, high energy demands, deferred maintenance, inattention to building performance, and inefficient behavior on the part of occupants. Given current advances in energy efficiency technology and financingprograms, there can be up to 40-60% reduction in building-generated GHGs (American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy, 2014). The commercial buildings that exist today will be inhabited into the foreseeable future; therefore, maximizing building efficiency will help ensure reduced energy demands well into the future.Transportation and Mobility: The majority of GHG emissions from transportation are generated from passenger vehicles. The Eagle Countycommunity faces a significant challenge due to Interstate-70 and the many vehicles that pass through the county. Nevertheless, significant improvements in local transportation, mobility systems, and infrastructure can reduce locally generated GHG emissions dramatically, while engaging residents and visitors in healthy climate-friendly lifestyles.Waste Management: The waste and landfill sector refers to methane GHG emissions that result from anaerobic decomposition of organic waste in the landfill. During the first 20 years after its release into the atmosphere, methane gas is 84 times more potent as a GHG than CO2. The 2015 Eagle Valley waste diversion rate was 19.6%, and the recycling rate was 26.9%. There is an effort at the national and state levels to transition away from disposal and towards materials management. The greatest positive impacts in this sector can be realized through reducing materials altogether through more sustainable purchasing practices.Energy Supply: In 2004, Colorado became the first state in the U.S. to create a renewable energy portfolio standard in order to reduce GHG emissions. As the primary provider of energy for buildings and commercial uses throughout the Eagle County community, member-owned utility Holy Cross Energy provides electricity and strives to be a conscientious steward of natural resources. Holy Cross Energy was a pioneer in Colorado, offering consumers the option of purchasing renewable energy to offset GHG emissions. Partnering with utilities, such as Holy Cross Energy, Xcel Energy, and Black Hills Energy, is key toward making large-scale energy supply transitions.01/20/2022 02:27:05

Description

This data is collected through the CDP-ICLEI Unified Reporting System. When using this data, please cite both organisations using the following wording: ‘This data was collected in partnership by CDP and ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability’.
This dataset contains a subset of the related full cities dataset, covering Climate Risk and Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Action questions for publicly disclosing cities in 2021. The platform is still open and the dataset is updated daily to reflect new submissions.
To view the cities 2021 questionnaire guidance, including all questions asked to cities in 2021, visit https://www.cdp.net/en/guidance/guidance-for-cities.
For any questions, including guidance on how to reference this data in your own work, please contact cities@cdp.net.
Please note that this dataset may contain data from cities or, in some instances, groups of cities at different administrative levels. This includes metropolitan areas, combined authorities, and some regional councils.
When using the inventory data for aggregation, comparison and trend analysis, please note that the inventory data is based on non-verified self-reported city inputs. The reported inventory may not include all emission sources within the city boundary.
