5 GOALS : 15 ACTIONS THE URBANA CLIMATE ACTION PLAN PHASE I RECOMMENDS FIFTEEN COMMUNITY-WIDE ACTIONS TO ACHIEVE FIVE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS REDUCTION GOALS: 1 REDUCE EMISSIONS FROM BUILDING ENERGY CONSUMPTION. Action 1 Reduce emissions from commercial sector building electricity consumption. Action 2 Reduce emissions from residential sector building electricity consumption. Action 3 Reduce emissions from residential sector building natural gas consumption. 2 REDUCE EMISSIONS FROM GASOLINE CONSUMPTION. Action 1 Support sustainable transportation through infrastructure improvements. Action 2 Promote a culture of sustainable transportation. Action 3 Encourage participation in sustainable transportation programs. Action 4 Consider transportation sector emissions projections in land-use planning decisions. 3 FORMULATE STRATEGIES TO REDUCE EMISSIONS FROM RENTAL AND INDUSTRIAL SECTORS. Action 1 Form a task force to study special considerations for rental properties. Action 2 Form a task force to study special considerations for the industrial sector. 4 5 PREPARE FOR CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS. Action 1 Form a task force to study special considerations for adapting to local climate change impacts. PURSUE COORDINATION AND OUTREACH. Action 1 Coordinate city plans and policies with climate action goals. Action 2 Encourage energy efficient behavior and individual actions. Action 3 Encourage energy efficiency in new developments. Action 4 Encourage participation in existing sustainability programs. Action 5 Monitor progress towards climate action goals. City of Urbana 5
