Panelists Dr. Sabine O’Hara, Tammy Seale, and Adrienne Greve will discuss issues covered in “Climate Action Planning” – the most comprehensive book on the state of the art, science, and practice of local climate action planning. Register here for this free webinar.
With climate-related protections and programs under attack at the federal level, it is critical for cities to address climate impacts locally. Every day there are new examples of cities approaching the challenge of climate change in creative and innovative ways—from rethinking transportation, to greening city buildings, to protecting against sea-level rise.
In Climate Action Planning, co-authors Adrienne Greve and Tammy Seale discuss new examples of implemented projects to highlight what has worked and the challenges that remain. This fully revised and expanded edition goes well beyond climate action plans to examine the mix of policy and planning instruments available to every community.
A completely new chapter on vulnerability assessment will help each community to identify their greatest risks and opportunities. Sections on land use and transportation have been expanded to reflect their growing contribution to greenhouse gas emissions. The guidance in the book is put in context of international, national, and state mandates and goals. Boswell, Greve, and Seale also look at process and communication: How does a community bring diverse voices to the table? What do recent examples and research tell us about successful communication strategies?
Published by Island Press, Climate Action Planning is designed to help planners, municipal staff and officials, citizens and others working at local levels to develop and implement plans to mitigate a community’s greenhouse gas emissions and increase the resilience of communities against climate change impacts.
