What we achieved

Through the ClearPath Climate Planner Tool, ICLEI USA developed a business-as-usual forecast and local government operations wedge analysis to inform the city of the emission reductions and cost-benefit of various proposed emission reduction strategies. This included a review of future policy scenarios, testing of various forecasts and emission reduction targets, modeling of low, mid, and high reduction mitigation measures, presentation of progress to the Sustainability Action Committee, research of potential funding strategies, and writing of a report to communicate results.
