Mayors call for an equitable and human ecological transition

mayors and governments risk losing the permission to act.

1. INCLUSIVE CLIMATE ACTION, IN PRACTICE
INCLUSIVE CLIMATE ACTION IN PRACTICE
Sydney builds trust with a unique
community engagement strategy
A CENTRALIZED APPROACH TO COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Effective mitigation and adaptation to climate change
only happens with the broad support of the
population. To address this, Sydney has created a
unique community engagement approach with a
centralized Community Consultation group involved in
every project and with methods targeting those that
traditionally do not take part in participatory
processes.

INCLUSIVE CLIMATE ACTION IN PRACTICE
1. Develop a set of principles to engage the public and identify
dedicated resources
2. Adapt your engagement methods based on target audience
3. Identify representative forms of engagement (don’t only invite
to city hall: reach out in different places, at different times of
day)
4. Create a central public engagement unit to pool resources
5. Use engagement to leverage buy-in from other levels of
government
6. Use feedback and data to continuously improve your
engagement strategy

10INCLUSIVE CLIMATE ACTION IN PRACTICE
1. Build a plan that supports everyone, and focuses on
those most vulnerable to climate change
2. Theme of climate justice runs through all lines of
action. The “People first” area sets out specific lines of
actions to address uneven impacts (e.g. no cuts to
energy supplies, 100% of the population within a 10-
minute walking distance of a climate shelter by 2030)
3. Coordinate efforts across city departments and ensure
actions are implemented within each department’s
budget and plan
4. Monitor implementation to meet targets

EFFECT IN ITS MOST VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES
12INCLUSIVE CLIMATE ACTION IN PRACTICE
“The entire Cool Neighborhoods effort was supported with a
dedicated $106M investment from the City”
1. Identify those most vulnerable to climate events and those
most in need of support (climate, social, health data)
2. Reassess existing programs to derive more social value
from priority investments. Basic rights are NOT the same
as “amenities”.
3. Make outreach a key component, through partnerships and
training of home health aides and community groups
4. Monitor data for continued program improvement and
listen to feedback
5. Coordinate already existing efforts from multiple
departments and agencies . Get buy-in from multiple
stakeholders
