Handbook for Analyzing Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions, Assessing Climate Vulnerabilities, and Advancing Health and Equity

Handbook for Analyzing Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions, Assessing Climate Vulnerabilities, and Advancing Health and Equity

The Handbook provides methods to quantify GHG emission reductions from a specified list of measures, primarily focused on project-level actions. The Handbook also includes a method to assess potential benefits of different climate vulnerability reduction measures, as well as measures that can be implemented to improve health and equity, again at the project level.

Key findings

   Chapter 2: Integrated and Resilient Planning – discusses the changing climate, its impacts on society and public health, federal and state planning efforts to address the problem, and how equity and resilience can be improved.

   Chapter 3: Measures to Reduce GHG Emissions – provides details on measures and methods to quantify and reduce GHG emissions, accompanied by measure factsheets.

   Chapter 4: Assessing Climate Exposures and Measures to Reduce Vulnerabilities – outlines a method to assess climate change vulnerability and the potential benefits of different climate risk reduction measures at the project level.

   Chapter 5: Measures for Advancing Health and Equity – describes measures to improve public health and social equity.
 Chapter 6: Resources to Support Resilient and Equitable Emission Reduction Planning – presents additional resources that can help resilient and equitable planning efforts.
