| 703 | Town of Blacksburg | 58621 | Blacksburg | USA | 2016 | Private Transport | Awareness and education for non motorized transport | 40002 | We have this broken down into a whole slate of implementation strategies that are too numerous to list here, but which can be seen if you look at the Transportation Chapter of the Blacksburg CAP, attached above. This emissions reduction number is inclusive of all the transportation-related strategies, therefore I have put a "zero" in the column for all other associated transportation strategies in order to avoid double-counting. | (37.2296°, -80.4139°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | |
| 704 | Town of Blacksburg | 58621 | Blacksburg | USA | 2016 | Community-Scale Development | Brownfield redevelopment programs | 0 | We have not calculated the GHG emissions reduction potential of brownfield redevelopment, but have made it a priority practice for our community.

In our Land Use chapter, we have a goal to increase the amount of regionally conserved land 30% by 2020 and 100% by 2050. We set and additional goal of increasing our community's urban canopy 30% by 2020 and 100% by 2050. To accomplish the later, we have already instituted a municipal 1:2 tree replacement policy (whenever a tree has to be removed from a municipal property, we have committed to replacing it with 2 new trees). | (37.2296°, -80.4139°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | |

Description
In 2016, over 3,000 city-wide mitigation actions were disclosed. Cities are taking action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in cities. Activities are tagged by sector and cities provide detailed descriptions of each activity. Some cities also provide estimates of the total anticipated lifetime emissions that will be reduced from each activity.
