, I I IS SCOPE 01," SE R PI" ci�E Activity 1: Validate community GHG Inventory Having solid data is an important first step to a mitigation planning process. Delta will review the 20 16 City emission inventory that reported 42,225 mT CO2e (Scope I and 2) as well as the 2018 community -wide inventory which identified annual emissions of 1,294,599 mT CO2e (Scope 1, 2, and 3). Delta will review the ICLEI ClearPath data collection processes and review data entry for any potential discrepancies. In addition to the data calculations, Delta will also assess boundary setting decisions and may make recommendations to update scope calculations based on that assessment and any updates to carbon calculation methodologies. Delta will also review all ener v and emissions variables and factors to ensure solid calculations. Delta with Sustainability Director and Climate Working Group, will produce a summary document for a public audience that showcases the high level GHG emissions information in an accessible format. Deliverables: If necessary, memo to Sustainability Director flagging findings or discrepancies related to the 2016 City Emission Inventory and 2018 Community -Wide Inventory Enter data ClearPath Simple & short public -facing summary (e.g. 3-5 pages) Budget: $5,000 Timeline: April 24th - May 3rd Activity 2: Develop local context will review existing documents that describe current local and state policy landscape including local sustainability priorities to assess what criteria should be prioritized for consideration in mitigation activities. Delta will conduct a limited number of internal stakeholder interviews to ground -truth priorities and ensure that there is internal alignment with our findings. Survey questions would be reviewed by, at least, the Sustainability Director prior to any interviews. Along with the outlining of potential prioritization criteria, Delta would create a short briefing document outline the specific local context that will be important to consider in the climate action planning process. Deliverables: Questionnaire for internal stakeholders for Sustainability Director's review. The questionnaire for the interview is intended to identify ideas about strategies and evaluation criteria. In some cases this might be why a certain grip of strategies ableornot. Regarding criteria, our assumption is that thoughtful consideration of ideas and concerns related to evaluation criteria will support longterm success. Brief summary of 4-8 internal stakeholders Memo detailing strategy evaluation criteria for selecting GHG strategies Briefing document on key local observations opportunities.
