703Town of Blacksburg58621BlacksburgUSA2016Private TransportAwareness and education for non motorized transport40002We 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°)
704Town of Blacksburg58621BlacksburgUSA2016Community-Scale DevelopmentBrownfield redevelopment programs0We have not calculated the GHG emissions reduction potential of brownfield redevelopment, but have made it a priority practice for our community. In 2009, the Town of Blacksburg completed a brownfield redevelopment of a highly contaminated property and returned it to productive use to create additional municipal offices. This brownfield redevelopment project including restoration of the historic building on the site garnered a LEED platinum rating.(37.2296°, -80.4139°)(37.09024°, -95.712891°)
705Town of Blacksburg58621BlacksburgUSA2016BuildingsBuilding codes and standards103256We 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 Residential Chapter of the Blacksburg CAP, attached above. This emissions reduction number is inclusive of all the residential-related strategies, therefore I have put a "zero" in the column for all other associated residential strategies in order to avoid double-counting.(37.2296°, -80.4139°)(37.09024°, -95.712891°)
706Town of Blacksburg58621BlacksburgUSA2016Community-Scale DevelopmentCompact cities0To avoid double-counting, I have not included an emissions reduction number for this activity since the strategies associated with it can be found across three chapters of our CAP: residential, transportation and land use. Furthermore, our Land Use chapter has a goal to increase our proportion of measurable "Compact and Complete Community Centers" 50% by 2020 and 200% by 2050.(37.2296°, -80.4139°)(37.09024°, -95.712891°)
707Town of Blacksburg58621BlacksburgUSA2016Food and AgricultureEncourage sustainable food production and consumption0Emissions associated with food systems were not part of our original GHG inventory, nevertheless, food systems and choices clearly have a large environmental and GHG impact and were therefore included in our planning process. We have a goal to increase the proportion of local food produced and consumed 25% by 2020 and 45% by 2050.(37.2296°, -80.4139°)(37.09024°, -95.712891°)

709Town of Blacksburg58621BlacksburgUSA2016Community-Scale DevelopmentGreen space and/ or biodiversity preservation and expansion0Emissions associated with green space preservation were not part of our original GHG inventory, nevertheless, land use changes clearly have a large environmental and GHG impact and were therefore included in our planning process. 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.
