Regional framework Action Energy efficiency Trees and green infrastructure Local food Education Coordination

Regional framework Planning Formal vulnerability and risk assessments Integrated planning and design across scales/sectors Strengthen existing sustainability efforts

Planning Framework: Transportation Climate Variables Flooding, drought, heat stress Successes Green/Complete Streets Policy Planning for Sustainable Places Goal Create and implement a Regional Transportation Climate Resiliency Action Plan guided by a regional advisory body. Major strategies/ next steps Evaluate transportation mobility options and public health threats from urban heat islands in disadvantaged communities. Conduct vulnerability analysis of regional transportation infrastructure to potential flood, drought and heat risks. Evaluate opportunities to enhance resiliency through green infrastructure and green/complete streets. Evaluate resilience of all regional initiatives, including the Planning Sustainable Places program.

Planning Framework: Water Resources WATER (Drinking water, stormwater and wastewater) Climate Variables Increased flood risk, drought, heat stress Successes APWA 5600 and MARC/APWA BMP Manual Reliable, high quality water supply Goal Develop integrated water resource management initiatives. Major strategies/ next steps Conduct long-term system risk assessments for capacity, treatment, production and distribution. Develop regional capacity for integrated water resource management. Strengthen mitigation elements of the Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan. Update planning and design standards to mitigate flood risks and restore ecosystem functions. Implement low impact development and stormwater BMPs to reduce stormwater load in new and redevelopment.

Draft Planning Framework: Energy and Housing Climate Variables Heat — doubling of cooling-degree days Successes Demand side management programs Comprehensive energy plan Growth of renewable energy sector Strong nonprofit presence and investment in affordable housing sector. Goal Ensure an affordable, clean energy system in the KC metro to respond to a changing climate and energy demand. Major strategies/ next steps Implement regional demand-side management programs (e.g., energy efficiency and conservation). Spur energy improvements, especially within vulnerable and disadvantaged communities. Implement multi-benefit heat island abatement initiatives. Advance affordable, energy efficient housing initiatives.

Draft Planning Framework: Public Health Increased flood risk, drought, heat stress Smoke-free ordinances Significant investment in active living Strong philanthropic support Safeguard our communities by protecting people’s health, wellbeing, and quality of life from climate change impacts. Identify and monitor climate-sensitive public health data as a region. Develop/ strengthen early warning systems for extreme weather (not just acute conditions). Update Emergency management plans/ Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan to enhance mitigation and recovery elements.

Draft Planning Framework: Ecosystem Health ECOSYSTEMS Climate Variables Changes in temperature and precipitation regimes. Successes MetroGreen KC Wildlands Heartland Tree Alliance KC Native Plants Initiative Goal Refine and implement a regional green infrastructure conservation and restoration plan. Major strategies/ next steps Research implications of climate change on natural systems. Restore all Wildland sites. Implement MetroGreen. Implement native landscaping at scale on public and private lands. Meet urban forest canopy coverage goals. Expand local food production, with a focus on areas of food deserts.
