Answer: The plan provided does not include detailed information about the physical and economic landscape of Asheville, such as its location, population, demographics, average income, major geographic features, key infrastructure, local climate details, energy production, natural resources, or specific industries and economic drivers. The document primarily focuses on Asheville's commitment to sustainability and climate action, as well as various climate policies and activities related to resilience, mitigation, and adaptation within the city.
Question: To what extent does the plan address resilience, mitigation, and adaptation? After providing a brief summary of how it addresses each component, classify the plan as a whole as one of the following: mitigation dedicated, adaptation/resilience dedicated, mitigation only climate action plan, mitigation primary climate action plan, equal mitigation and adaptation climate action plan, or sustainable/green plan.
Answer: Resilience:
The plan addresses resilience through several activities and goals focused on enhancing the ability of city-owned assets and the community to withstand and recover from disruptions. For instance, one of the focus areas under Goal 1 is to "Equip City Assets to Prevent, Withstand, and Recover From Disruptions" (Executive Summary). Moreover, the plan includes activities such as "Update City-Owned Building Standards for Resilience Considerations" and "Enhance Stormwater Control Measures for City-Owned Property" (Appendix A: Summary of Sustainability and Climate Activities).
Mitigation:
Mitigation actions are prominently featured in the plan, as evidenced by activities aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and transitioning to renewable energy. The plan includes goals like "Use 100% Renewable Energy for City-Owned Facilities and Enhance Energy Efficiency for City-Owned Facilities" and activities such as "Continue Installation of Renewable Energy Resources on Municipal Property" and "Expand Energy Efficiency Standards for All New Construction to Retrofits and Upgrades" (Executive Summary, Appendix A: Summary of Sustainability and Climate Activities).
Adaptation:
Adaptation is also a significant component of the plan, with activities designed to cope with and withstand climate impacts. For example, the plan proposes to "Update City-Owned Building Standards for Resilience Considerations," which includes considerations for climate adaptation (Appendix A: Summary of Sustainability and Climate Activities). The plan also emphasizes embedding sustainability and resilience in decision-making processes (Executive Summary).
Classification:
Based on the emphasis on both mitigation and adaptation strategies, the plan can be classified as an equal mitigation and adaptation climate action plan. It balances activities aimed at reducing emissions with those enhancing resilience and adaptation to climate impacts.
Question: Does the plan describe a scenario of climate change the planning jurisdiction will face and for which it is planning climate policies for resilience, mitigation, and adaptation? If so, please summarize any such scenario.
Answer: The plan does not explicitly describe a specific scenario of climate change that the planning jurisdiction will face. However, it recognizes the impacts associated with climate-related hazard events and the importance of resilience, mitigation, and adaptation. It mentions:
- "As the climate changes, it is increasingly important to ensure that new buildings and major retrofits or repairs are constructed to withstand and recover from climate-related events" (Implementation).
- "As climate change results in more frequent and more intense storms and weather-related events, the need to incorporate climate resilience and climate equity considerations into the City’s emergency response continues to grow" (Goal 1).
These statements imply that the City is preparing for increased frequency and intensity of climate-related events, such as storms and extreme weather, but a detailed scenario is not provided.
Question: What climate hazards does the plan identify as presenting climate risks for the planning jurisdiction? For each identified climate hazard, summarize the plan’s description of: 1. The climate hazard. 2. The climate risks it poses to the planning jurisdiction. 3. Areas or populations with the most climate vulnerability to the identified climate hazard.Generate a numbered list of every hazard identified in the plan. Make the list as long as necessary to accomodate every single hazard.
Answer: 1. More Frequent and Intense Storms and Weather-Related Events
Climate Hazard: "As climate change results in more frequent and more intense storms and weather-related events..."
Climate Risks: These events increase the need for the city to incorporate climate resilience and climate equity considerations into emergency response to ensure equitable aid and response for all residents and communities.

Question: Identify any potential unforeseen maladaptive climate policies. For each identified climate policy, summarize: 1. The climate threat it is addressing. 2. The resilience, mitigation, or adaptation option that the climate policy proposes. 3. Why it may cause inadvertent maladaption.
Answer: Based on the document provided, here are some potential unforeseen maladaptive climate policies:
Policy: Establish a Policy for the Purchase, Sale, or Adaptive Reuse of Highly Vulnerable or Underutilized Assets
Climate Threat Addressed: The policy addresses the threat of climate impacts on city-owned facilities or assets that are vulnerable or underutilized. It aims to manage the financial risks associated with maintaining such assets which are expensive and carbon-intensive.
Resilience, Mitigation, or Adaptation Option: The policy proposes the adaptive reuse, sale, or purchase of vulnerable assets, incorporating sustainability, resilience, and adaptation considerations into the decision-making process. This involves assessing the costs of acquisition, hardening, restoration, and reconfiguration for reuse, as well as evaluating vulnerability and potential revenue or savings.
Potential Maladaptation: The policy may inadvertently lead to maladaptation if the adaptive reuse or sale of assets does not adequately consider long-term climate projections or community needs, potentially leaving critical infrastructure under-resourced or exposing communities to greater risks. In focusing on financial risks, there might be a risk of prioritizing short-term economic benefits over long-term resilience, resulting in increased vulnerability or loss of critical services over time. Moreover, selling assets to private entities may result in a loss of public control over essential services or amenities, potentially exacerbating social inequities.
Note: While the document presents this policy as a proactive measure to ensure asset resilience, the potential for maladaptation lies in the execution and prioritization of financial over community resilience considerations.
Question: In what ways does the plan measure the success or failure of each adaptation, resilience, and mitigation option? List any specific metrics used, such as reductions in CO2 emissions, improvements in air quality, or other quantifiable impacts.
