4. Motivation for Collaboration Broward’s Climate Action Plan
Working Toward Resilient Coastal Communites - Broward County Natural Resources Planning and Management
Motivation for Collaboration Broward’s Climate Action Plan
GOAL PC-1 : Create collaborative intergovernmental practices…and assist in adaptation to the regional consequences of climate change…
Action PC1.6: Collaborate broadly on mitigation and adaptation policies. (…implementation of a suite of planning tools and climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies…)
Action PC-1.6 Collaborate broadly on mitigation and adaptation policies
Broward County should collaborate with municipalities, the Broward League of Cities, neighboring counties and other regional public and private entities to assist in the coordination, development, and implementation of a suite of planning tools and climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies. This should include establishing action targets and reaching agreement on one or more standardized methodologies for emissions measurement and reporting.

25. Working Toward Resilient Coastal Communites - Broward County Natural Resources Planning and Management
What happens if a Land Use map amendment is in a Priority Planning Area for Sea Level Rise?
The Planning Council shall consider the following:
Sea level rise/flood protection mitigation strategies within local comprehensive plans and/or development regulations
Flood protection improvements committed to by amendment applicants, which would mitigate or enhance flood protection and adaptation from rising sea levels
Recognizing our common vulnerabilities and the need for action, the four Counties came together and signed an agreement to work together to address policies at the state and federal level. They agreed to develop technical tools to lay a foundation for regional mitigation and adaptation strategies. And they wanted to hold regular summits to discuss projects and emerging concerns.

35. Call to Action Sign on to the Mayor's Pledge - RCAP
Consider which strategies presented in CCAP and RCAP you should implement
Update your Comprehensive Plan to include resilience policies
Pay careful attention to Land Use amendments in vulnerable locations

36. Call to Action (cont)
Use the technical tools to increase awareness among your staff/Board of vulnerable infrastructure
Ensure that climate issues are part of the Capital Improvement Planning process
Look into using AAA as a tool for prioritizing strategic adaptation investments

37. Conclusions
Broward County NRPMD hopes you find these policy and technical tools useful.
We can provide the GIS layers upon request.
We continue to work on technical and policies tools to support community resilience.
We are available to make a similar presentation to your Board of Commissioners.
