CLIMATE ACTION PLAN - City of Urbana

3.1
PRIORITY ACTIONS
Phase I of the Urbana Climate Action Plan addresses the following four priority sectors. Together, these sectors account for
66 percent of emissions in Urbana:
1) Electricity, commercial sector;
2) Electricity, residential sector;
3) Gasoline, transportation sector;
4) Natural gas, residential sector.
Additionally, Phase I focuses on outreach, education and coordination.
The strategies recommended in this section have been identified as the most feasible ones to implement in the short term,
based on relative ease and low cost of implementation. To the extent possible, strategies leverage existing programs and
inter-governmental relationships, in particular, the City of Urbana, City of Champaign, Champaign County, and University
of Illinois to pursue opportunities for collaboration on common goals.
