'i';,m$=--•BIr ;_. Ii , . I City of Denton Climate Action Plan Introduction The City of Denton established Science-Based Targets (SBTs) to reduce community-wide greenhouse gas emissions and ultimately reach net-zero emissions by 2050 (via ordinance 22- 746, April 19, 2022). That ordinance called for a formal Climate Action Plan (CAP) to outline the path to achieving a SBT while addressing the need to build resilience to climate hazards and vulnerabilities. In 2023, the City Council authorized a contract with Sustainability Solutions Group (SSG) using a public process to draft a Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP). That plan was discussed with City Council on October 24, 2023 during a work session. This document replaces the CAAP drafted by SSG and pushes forward goals and actions that are aspirational and set Denton on a strong path to net-zero by 2050. As is the case in any plan, the success will be tied to market availability, community support, direct investment as needed, maximizing incentives/rebates from Federal, State and local resources, and a continued commitment by the City of Denton as an organization. Public outreach is embedded in each, and every action outlined in this CAP. Communication is vital to ensure resources do not go underutilized and that all parts of the community are reached. No one means of communication is sufficient and for success Denton will need to leverage all available means. August 2024 Page 1 1 City of Denton’s Goals and Actions Under the Climate Action Plan (CAP) three primary goals have been identified with sixteen actions to progress towards net zero by 2050. 1. Enhance how the Denton community moves with improved active travel modes and efficient motor driven travel. 1.1 Decarbonize fleet (all sources) 1.2 Improve Active Transportation Infrastructure 1.3 Encourage Walking and Biking (no emission modes) 1.4 Decrease total number of trips taken in vehicles 1.5 Facilitate Installation of Green Hydrogen Fueling Station Enhance buildings to improve efficiency, resilience, and reduce long-term impact. 2.1 Encourage energy efficiency upgrades (existing bldgs.) 2.2 Encourage Reduction in Overall Energy Consumption 2.3 Encourage Very High Energy Efficiency Standard (new bldgs.) 2.4 Encourage Zero-Emission Systems in buildings 2.5 Reduce Waste produced per capita 2.6 Increase waste diversion (reuse, recycling, composting, etc.) 2.7 Maximize Organic Diversion for Renewable Natural Gas 2.8 Reduce water consumption 3. Enhance land use to improve access to necessities, minimize energy needs, and ensure connectivity across Denton. 3.1 Enhance Access to Necessities (walkable communities) 3.2 Increase local, renewable energy generation capacity 3.3 Produce Renewable Natural Gas from Landfill August 2024 Page 1 2 Focus Areas for Emission Reductions Community-wide emissions that may be avoided, reduced, or replaced may be grouped into three main areas: Travel / Movement: how the community and commodities move within the city; Building: how the buildings are modified, built, and operated; and Land Use: how the city is designed and built. Outreach is critical for all these areas to best equip the Public with the resources to guide decisions and navigate purchase options. There is no one best method to reach the community. ovement II Walkin Bicycling Transit Vehicle Miles Traveled Type of Vehicle Opportunities Infrastructure / Safe Infrastructure / Safe Accessibility / Connectiv Behavior Change / Accessibility Cost / Availability / Accessibil Emission source Structure Equipment Usage Waste Opportunities Efficiency / Size / Location Major / Minor / Cost Electric / Gas / Water Reduction / Diversion / Collection Land Use [ Infill Development Access Density Network / Infrastructure Access to Utilities / Access to Necessities Multi-Use / Compact Live, Work, & Play Options / Energy Efficien Options / Address Needs / Safet These are just some of the potential opportunities available to address the community-wide emissions. The City of Denton must raise awareness in all parts of the community to progress this Climate Action Plan in effort to reach net-zero emissions by 2050.
