On the municipal and regional level, many cities have created climate action plans. The Federation of Canadian Municipalities coordinates local climate action through a program called Partners for Climate Protection.[13]
Detroit
One of the more recent climate action plans is the 2019 Sustainability Action Agenda is a climate strategy plan created by the city of Detroit that emerged from gradual 12-year planning process of multiple efforts moving towards a more sustainable city. The action plan focuses on 4 main categories: Transitioning to clean energy through a 3-year target to reach 50% solar power to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Icreasing sustainable mobility geared towards improving public transportation, transition to electric vehicles, and creating more pedestrian and cyclist pathways. Accelerating energy efficiency and reducing waste by benchmarking emissions, electrification programs, and reducing food waste. And lastly, prioritizing vulnerable residents from floods, heat, and bad air quality through resilience hubs, recovery guides, and new prevention infrastructure that will reduce the impact of climate change and natural disasters. [8]
Detroit’s sustainability plan talks extensively about economic growth and sustainability. The proposition has the main objective of decreasing waste and air pollution to help vulnerable and marginalized communities adapt better to the negative implications of climate change. Actions associated with this initiative include lowering utility billing, establishing cleaner indoor air – which will be done by upgrading and repairing homes and appliances – and increasing inclusivity and access to sustainable wages. In doing all of this, the city hopes to improve the overall welfare of Detroit residents; they are the primary focus of this plan. Subsequently, for these policy goals to be achieved the city of Detroit has the intention to increase job opportunity access as well as reduce operation cost – because 63% of Detroit’s greenhouse gas emissions comes from buildings – to increase economy mobility and savings.
