Develop a Climate Action Plan to accelerate the reduction of carbon emissions and achieve at least 80%
city-wide carbon emissions reduction by 2050. The plan must meet the following requirements:

residents, businesses and/or institutions, municipal and state officials, technical experts or
advisory groups, representatives of vulnerable populations and indigenous groups, to gather
insights and feedback.
- Vision and Objectives:
a. Geographic and/or administrative boundary of the city
b. Carbon emission reduction target with interim and short-term goals
c. City-wide carbon emission inventory for the base year (must include Scope 1 and Scope 2;
Scope 3 is optional) with breakdown by sector and the business-as-usual projection of city wide carbon emissions through 2050.
- I mplementation and Monitoring:
a. Outline initiatives for each sector and ensure that each initiative addresses the following
points:
o Implementation timeline
o Estimated impact on carbon emissions
o Implementation processes, such as passing an ordinance, creating a city-wide policy,
funding a program, planning, and working with the state or province
o Estimated budget and/or required staffing
