<br />

<br />

Develops policies<br />

and plans to improve<br />

services, infrastructure<br />

Formalizes property<br />

Supports, facilitates and expedites<br />

infrastructure and planning improvements<br />

to reduce climate change related public<br />

health impacts (e.g., supports improved<br />

storm water and waste treatment facilities,<br />

supports urban greening to reduce heat<br />

island effects, etc.)<br />

Supports, facilitates and expedites<br />

infrastructure and planning improvements<br />

to reduce climate change-related disaster<br />

impacts<br />

<br />

guidelines <strong>for</strong> “climate proof” facilities<br />

(i.e., facilities that are located and built<br />

to withstand and function during climate<br />

change impact events)<br />

<br />

where new facilities are most needed to<br />

reduce climate change impacts amongst<br />

vulnerable groups<br />

<br />

wastewater (grey water) <strong>for</strong> urban<br />

agriculture and horticulture<br />

<br />

energy generation and distribution facilities<br />

Supports climate change mitigation (i.e.,<br />

green energy, conservation)<br />

<br />

municipal water supply, treatment and<br />

distribution and adaptive measures to<br />

counter them<br />

<br />

demand strategies and tools to better<br />

manage and adapt to future potential water<br />

shortages<br />

Supports climate change mitigation through<br />

improved materials recycling and/or reuse<br />

<br />
