Opportunities6.0Please 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.2Describe how the city is maximizing this opportunity5To 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.

Opportunities6.0Please 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.2Describe how the city is maximizing this opportunity6Louisville 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.
17110349333City of Louisville, KYUnited States of AmericaNorth America6. Opportunities6.0Please 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.2Describe how the city is maximizing this opportunity7Climate 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.

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.

Opportunities6.0Please 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.2Describe how the city is maximizing this opportunity9In 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

Opportunities6.0Please 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.2Describe how the city is maximizing this opportunity10In 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

Opportunities6.0Please 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.2Describe how the city is maximizing this opportunity11In 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
