Creating the Plan Assess Plan & Engage Implement 8 months 4 research teams >$500, 000 7 months 50 meetings >500 people 7 months pre-launch Continues to present ©City of Chicago 2011

Assess: Impacts and Adaptation What could happen to Chicago (U of I, Texas Tech and Team of Researchers)? What are the cost-benefits of climate action (lower emissions) vs. non-action (higher emission) on city infrastructure (OW)? What are we already doing in Chicago that could aid adaptation? What should be priorities for action to adapt to climate change (MWH, Quick Guide to Adapation)? ©City of Chicago 2011

Assess: Mitigation Analysis What are our baseline emissions? If we do nothing, what will emissions be in 2020? What are the best local and global options for Chicago emissions reductions, including leading by example, carrots, and sticks? What is the emissions reduction potential, cost effectiveness, feasibility, benefits and drawbacks of each option? ©City of Chicago 2011

Assess: Research and Planning Tools (www. chicagoclimateaction. org) ©City of Chicago 2011
