If your city has both mitigation and energy access plans, please make sure to attach all relevant documents below. | 11 | Description of stakeholder engagement process | 1 | There was a significant stakeholder engagement process implemented for the development of the 2008 Climate Protection Plan (CPP). The original group of stakeholders, plus additional groups that were not identified in 2008 will be engaged for the update to a Climate Protection and Resiliency Plan (CPRP). In 2021, Kansas City hired Brendle Group to assist with the CPRP update. Brendle Group brought on a local equity consultant, Sophic Solutions, to assist with engagement and center the plan in equity. With input from the City, two local climate justice workers and a climate intern were brought on board to assist with community outreach and engagement. The idea is to work from the neighborhood level up, while aligning with Kansas City's 2008 Climate Protection Plan and the recently adopted regional Climate Action Plan. The outreach is broken into 4 phases: Phase 1-Listen & Learn: Focus on understanding the context in which the plan is taking place, including racial disparities, socioeconomic conditions, community vulnerabilities, political and regulatory landscape, and previous climate mitigation and resiliency efforts. Phase 2- Collaborate & Explore: Use the information collected in Phase 1 to start gathering ideas from community members, stakeholders, and City staff about potential solutions and actions for climate resiliency and mitigation in Kansas City. Phase 3- Prioritize & Align: Use community needs, technical expertise, and analysis outcomes to identify the solutions with the highest potential for impact in Kansas City to drive the City to meet its climate goals. Phase 4: Mobilize Identify and/or create the tools and resources to support successful implementation of the ideas outlined in the Climate Protection and Resiliency Plan (CPRP). We are currently in Phase 1. The climate justice workers are beginning their outreach in neighborhoods and we are surveying residents and businesses through our online platform here: https://playbook.kcmo.gov/cprp The CPRP is hosted on the same site as the City's Comprehensive Plan update, so all residents that have chosen to be involved in that process are automatically updated on the CPRP process and vice versa. This allows us to capture additional residents that may not be directly interested in the CPRP and show them the connection between climate action and long term city planning. | |||

Opportunities | 6.2a | Please provide some key examples of how your city collaborates with business and/or industries in the table below. | 3 | Description of collaboration | 1 | In 2006, KCMO City Council directed the City Manager to begin the process of climate change planning in Kansas City. Staff assembled a very diverse planning group of over 80 public and private individuals, organizations, institutions, spanning the Missouri-Kansas state line for the purpose of developing KC’s first climate protection plan. This group worked together for the next 18 months developing a plan in two phases. The first phase introduced the general concept of a plan to address climate change that included 32 sets of recommendations; under phase 2, an additional 23 sets of recommendations were developed. The plan was adopted in July 2008 as the first Climate Protection Plan in Kansas City and the first such plan in this region of the Midwest.Each of the three local investor owned utilities and one municipally owned utility participated in the planning group as did the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce, the USGBC and AIA. As part of the process of arriving at specific greenhouse gas reduction methodologies and resultant emissions reduction, the Chamber of Commerce undertook a separate analysis and to determine whether to support the general and specific recommendations to be presented to the Mayor and City Council for adoption. The committee determined the recommendations to be acceptable and potentially feasible and was one of the original signatories to the final plan.In this process, the first GHG emissions targets were established both for KCMO municipal operations and citywide. The targets projected both municipal and citywide GHG reduction targets at 30% reduction by 2020, relative to the baseline year of 2000. In addition, there were several interim targets adopted that differed for municipal operations as opposed to citywide. Updates completed for 2005, 2013, 2017 and 2019.More recently, the city established a Mayor's Energy Challenge for businesses, institutions, etc. The challenge is first, to benchmark their respective buildings, using ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager under our "Energy Empowerment Program", and then to show annual improvements. Reports, based on Portfolio Manager data, are due annually. The challenge is hosted by the city and Greater KC Chamber of Commerce.This collaboration has continued with their representation on the Mayoral appointed oversight group - Climate Protection Steering Committee. | |||

Opportunities | 6.2a | Please provide some key examples of how your city collaborates with business and/or industries in the table below. | 3 | Description of collaboration | 2 | KCMO has partnered with Evergy, the local electric utility, Metropolitan Energy Center (MEC) and Bridging the Gap, two local non-profits, to increase awareness of the City's Energy Empowerment (Benchmarking) Program. Bridging the Gap and MEC reach out to building owners that have not met KCMO benchmarking requirements and those that have met requirements but are energy inefficient to help them understand the value of the program and assist them with identifying and applying for energy efficiency rebates offered by Evergy. This information, in part, is used in support of applications to the utilities to apply for rebates.This partnership will continue through 2024. | |||
| 134277 | 49330 | Kansas City | United States of America | North America | 6. Opportunities | 6.2a | Please provide some key examples of how your city collaborates with business and/or industries in the table below. | 3 | Description of collaboration | 3 | KCMO has partnered with Evergy (local electric IOU) to create the Renewables Direct Program in our area. The City signed contracts with Evergy to purchase energy from newly constructed wind and/or solar farms. Through this collaboration, the City will achieve 100% carbon free electricity in city facilities by 2022. The first of two wind farm installations is now online with the balance to be completed in 2022. When complete, this will provide the city with about 82% fossil fuel free electricity with another 10% covered by the utility's ever cleaner energy fuel mix. Renewable energy certificates are expected to fill the gap to bring city operations to 100% fossil fuel free electricity in 2022. | |||
