Win-Wins: How to Leverage Mitigation Funding to Adapt to Climate Change

Speakers: Cindy Blain, Research and Innovation Director, Sacramento Tree Foundation; Thomas Christofk, Air Pollution Control Officer, Placer County Air Pollution Control District; David Fink, Director of Campaigns, Climate Resolve; Campbell Ingram, Executive Officer, Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Conservancy; MODERATOR: Obadiah Bartholomy, Senior Project Manager, SMUD

This session examines opportunities to adapt to climate change that deliver greenhouse gas reductions and other co-benefits. Rather than being an either-or investment decision, diverse opportunities exist to reduce emissions at the same time that we prepare for climate change impacts. These opportunities address sea level rise, air quality, wildfires and the impacts of higher ambient temperatures on public health and energy demand. The speakers cover opportunities that can be accelerated today to build resilience against these impacts while cutting emissions from significant sectors of the economy. Panelists delve into opportunities to address subsidence in the delta through carbon sequestration, reduce air quality impacts and carbon emissions through urban forestry, reduce urban heat islands and peak energy demands through white roofs, and reduce forest fire risk by converting forest slash to useful energy. The combination of opportunities provides a transition investment strategy to deliver both mitigation and adaptation.

Speakers: Norman Wong, Environmental Engineer, Bay Area Rapid Transit; Stefanie Hom, Associate Transportation Planner/Analyst, Metropolitan Transportation Commission; Garth Hopkins, Chief, Office of Regional Planning, California Department of Transportation; Rosalyn Yu, Civil Engineer, San Francisco International Airport; MODERATOR: Brenda Dix, Senior Associate, ICF International

After conducting a risk and vulnerability assessments many are left wondering “now what?” This session seeks to answer that question by providing concrete examples of next steps taken by transportation agencies and highlighting the lessons they have learned along the way. Several California transportation agencies discuss their ongoing work to advance resiliency through concrete adaptation solutions and policy guidelines. Topics range from laying the groundwork for adaptation planning, the development of adaptation strategies, criteria for evaluating those strategies, approaches to integrating climate change into CEQA, and many more. Each agency outlines its process and lessons learned before engaging in a facilitated discussion surrounding the next steps that agencies should take now, common barriers to implementing adaptation, and ideas for overcoming those barriers. All speakers cover the values of collaboration and information sharing among agencies when tackling these complex issues.
