Background: The CEAP calls for evaluation of co-benefits and equity during implementation of the climate plan. The overall purpose is to maximize beneficial results and build more inclusive policies and programs. Climate actions identified in the CEAP will include consideration of co-benefits and equity during their design, implementation, and formal reporting.
Proposed discussion framework: Use table on p. 45 and p. 113 to evaluate one or more climate actions in progress. Take notes on which co-benefits and equity considerations are applicable, then discuss focus questions below.
Focus questions:
Does the set of equity considerations on p. 133 of the CEAP adequately capture Ashland’s equity considerations when evaluating CEAP actions?
Does the committee suggest any additions or subtractions from co-benefit and equity considerations?
Would committee members like to evaluate additional actions as part of committee meetings?
Does committee support / recommend incorporation of equity analysis as part of formal City Council (Staff report) communication template?
Preparation: Review climate plan pages 44-45 and page 113.
