| | | CAF14-113 | | 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. | | MP3 | | $10.00 | | $10.00 | |
