Opportunities | 6.0 | Please indicate the opportunities your city has identified as a result of addressing climate change and describe how the city is positioning itself to take advantage of these opportunities. | 2 | Describe how the city is maximizing this opportunity | 1 | In 2016, Louisville Metro Council enacted Energy Project Assessment District (EPAD) legislation. EPADs, also known nationally as Property Assessed Clean Energy, or "PACE", allow property owners to repay private loans for energy efficiency, renewable energy, and water conservation measures. These improvement projects will stimulate economic growth, create jobs, increase profits and property values, alleviate urban heat and decrease the amount of pollutants impacting local air quality and global climate change. On Earth Day 2021, to more effectively maximize this opportunity, Louisville Metro Government entered into an agreement with Energize Kentucky for the administration of an Energy Project Assessment District (EPAD) program. This new partnership with Energize Kentucky makes it easier for more properties to invest in energy efficiency, renewable energy, and water conservation measures, and bring in additional expertise. As the administrator, Energize Kentucky will further advance the EPAD program through outreach to the local community via contractors, commercial real estate companies and commercial property owners. Energize Kentucky has worked diligently with local governments throughout the Commonwealth to advance sustainability and economic development goals with the creation and advancement of EPAD programs since 2015. | |||

Opportunities | 6.0 | Please indicate the opportunities your city has identified as a result of addressing climate change and describe how the city is positioning itself to take advantage of these opportunities. | 2 | Describe how the city is maximizing this opportunity | 2 | In 2016, Louisville was selected as a member city within the 100 Resilient Cities network. In 2019, Louisville released its Resilience Strategy report, which presents a new approach to addressing the city's most pressing and interconnected resilience challenges. Key opportunities include embracing lifelong learning, ensuring a safe and healthy city, building a vibrant economy and place, and maximizing innovation and civic engagement. These opportunities also align with the goals of the recently adopted Prepare Louisville Climate Adaptation Plan, which is designed to help build resilience to the anticipated impacts of climate change. | |||
| 158186 | 49333 | City of Louisville, KY | United States of America | North America | 6. Opportunities | 6.0 | Please indicate the opportunities your city has identified as a result of addressing climate change and describe how the city is positioning itself to take advantage of these opportunities. | 2 | Describe how the city is maximizing this opportunity | 3 | Louisville has been identified as having among the most rapidly growing urban heat islands in the country - a phenomenon which has human health, air quality and many other environmental, social, and economic implications. The city has received two Partners for Places grants from the Funders Network for Smart Growth and Livable Communities and several local matching grants and fully-funded donations to pay for urban heat studies and mitigation projects. In addition, Louisville Metro also received a grant from the National League of Cities Leadership in Community Resilience Program to help engage Louisville Metro leaders and key partners in strategic discussions regarding climate impacts and how to implement climate mitigation and adaptation goals. | |||
| 158187 | 49333 | City of Louisville, KY | United States of America | North America | 6. Opportunities | 6.0 | Please indicate the opportunities your city has identified as a result of addressing climate change and describe how the city is positioning itself to take advantage of these opportunities. | 2 | Describe how the city is maximizing this opportunity | 4 | Support for local businesses comes in the form ofcreating sustainable practices, which can also savemoney. Many of the actions in other sections of thePrepare Louisville Climate Adaptation Plan will support the creation of more sustainable businesses, including those that prepare companies for larger and more frequent extreme events, provide affordable housing, ensure adequate healthcare, and increase transportation options for the local workforce. | |||
| 158188 | 49333 | City of Louisville, KY | United States of America | North America | 6. Opportunities | 6.0 | Please indicate the opportunities your city has identified as a result of addressing climate change and describe how the city is positioning itself to take advantage of these opportunities. | 2 | Describe how the city is maximizing this opportunity | 5 | To help implement its sustainability initiatives, Louisville has established partnerships with the Louisville Sustainability Council, 100% Renewable Energy Alliance of Louisville, Partnership for a Green City, Louisville Energy Alliance, the Louisville Climate Action Network, Louisville Grows, Brightside, Energize Kentucky, and Trees Louisville. Moving forward, Louisville Metro has an opportunity to establish additional partnerships with its local utility, LG&E, and many other businesses who can help achieve Louisville's greenhouse gas reduction and climate adaptation goals. | |||
| 158189 | 49333 | City of Louisville, KY | United States of America | North America | 6. Opportunities | 6.0 | Please indicate the opportunities your city has identified as a result of addressing climate change and describe how the city is positioning itself to take advantage of these opportunities. | 2 | Describe how the city is maximizing this opportunity | 6 | Louisville has an opportunity to lead on many issuesrelated to climate resilience. Working within government and applying new strategies across the community, Louisville Metro Government is taking bold and innovative action to address climate change. | |||
| 158190 | 49333 | City of Louisville, KY | United States of America | North America | 6. Opportunities | 6.0 | Please indicate the opportunities your city has identified as a result of addressing climate change and describe how the city is positioning itself to take advantage of these opportunities. | 2 | Describe how the city is maximizing this opportunity | 7 | Climate impacts are not evenly distributed. Community members who lack adequate housing, financial resources, strong social networks or with health and mobility challenges are more at risk to the impacts of a changing climate such as heat waves and worsening air quality. Louisville’s Compassionate City Campaign has already formed broad alliances focused on serving and empowering local residents. Action on climate change will require these alliances to be strengthened and expanded, in order to support those facing climate impacts. Efforts to increase climate equity include generational wealth-building, increased home ownership, and opportunities for entrepreneurship. These efforts must ensure that people at the lowest income levels are benefiting from localized investment and opportunities. Louisville’s west end is especially at risk for involuntary displacement.In short, Louisville has an opportunity to lead on healing divisiveness, increasing equity, and dismantlingdiscriminatory systems and policies through its goals to increase climate resilience. | |||

Opportunities | 6.0 | Please indicate the opportunities your city has identified as a result of addressing climate change and describe how the city is positioning itself to take advantage of these opportunities. | 2 | Describe how the city is maximizing this opportunity | 8 | The threat of climate change presents Louisville with opportunities to harness its innovation, compassion, diversity, and strong community networks to make serious and systemic change. By prioritizing green jobs, living wages, clean technology, healthy parks and waterways and social equity and justice, the Prepare Louisville plan aims to benefit all community members and protect future generations. | |||

Opportunities | 6.0 | Please indicate the opportunities your city has identified as a result of addressing climate change and describe how the city is positioning itself to take advantage of these opportunities. | 2 | Describe how the city is maximizing this opportunity | 9 | In November 2020, Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer announced that Louisville Metro received a $42,000 matching grant from Partners for Places, a project of The Funders Network, to fully fund the construction of a sustainable, community-driven green space called Parkland Plaza.Currently, a vacant parking lot adjacent to the Parkland Community Garden, the grant will transform this city-owned property, in the heart of the Parkland neighborhood, into a welcoming, well-shaded, community planned, cultural plaza. The new design and infrastructure will incorporate green and open space for outdoor performances, retail vendors and open-air seating, as well as a passive play area. This property, located in one of Louisville’s high-heat districts, will combat the urban heat island effect while implementing an initiative envisioned and designed by the frontline community groups in the neighborhood. https://louisvilleky.gov/news/louisville-receives-grant-community-driven-green-space-parkland-neighborhood | |||

Opportunities | 6.0 | Please indicate the opportunities your city has identified as a result of addressing climate change and describe how the city is positioning itself to take advantage of these opportunities. | 2 | Describe how the city is maximizing this opportunity | 10 | In February 2021, Louisville Metro Government hired Zachary Tyler to serve as the city’s first Energy Manager, responsible for helping the city work toward its energy efficiency and renewable energy goals. As Louisville Metro’s Energy Manager, Tyler will review and consolidate energy consumption data to assess and benchmark baseline energy performance of Louisville Metro Government as a whole and, where available, analyze building-level data to identify and prioritize the areas of greatest opportunity.His initial focus has been on optimizing the performance of central mechanical and HVAC systems, which are responsible for most energy consumption within Metro buildings and looking for potential upgrades to lighting systems to reduce utility consumption and lower costs for the city. He has already implemented facility setbacks in 800,000 square feet of Metro facilities, reducing runtime of those HVAC systems by approximately 50%. The Energy Manager is also working to advance the city’s progress toward its 100% clean energy goal. https://louisvilleky.gov/news/louisville-metro-underscores-commitment-reducing-climate-change-hiring-citys-first-ever-energy | |||

Opportunities | 6.0 | Please indicate the opportunities your city has identified as a result of addressing climate change and describe how the city is positioning itself to take advantage of these opportunities. | 2 | Describe how the city is maximizing this opportunity | 11 | In May 2021, Mayor Greg Fischer today signed an executive order directing all Louisville Metro Government (LMG) agencies and departments to prioritize the purchasing of electric and hybrid vehicles, green equipment and necessary infrastructure to support LMG’s transition to electric vehicles. On-road transportation accounts for 12.8% of our greenhouse gas emissions in Louisville, or the equivalent of 2,749,767 tons of carbon dioxide. Reducing these emissions not only slows the impacts of climate change, but also reduces operating costs and other air pollutants, including ozone precursors, improves public health, and enhances the quality of life for residents.LMG’s fleet includes a variety of vehicles for employee use such as LMPD and code enforcement officers and Metro Parks crews. LMG has installed several electric vehicle stations already at its facilities. Electric vehicle drivers can find stations at six PARC garages, three library branches, three Metro Parks, the Edison Center and one station is soon to be installed at Jefferson Memorial Forest. https://louisvilleky.gov/news/mayor-signs-executive-order-prioritize-electric-vehicles-metros-fleet-0 | |||

Documentation of such commitment shall be provided prior to award of contract or grant. Forms of these commitments may include emission reduction plans, energy benchmarking or another similar written plan. It states that Louisville Metro departments must be continuously including and assessing environmental considerations during the procurement process. https://louisvilleky.gov/advanced-planning-and-sustainability/document/ev-eo | |||
