<br /> <br />37. Stakeholders offer incentives for employees to attend workshops on waste <br />management, composting, energy use, climate change, gardening, transportation, <br />carpooling. <br /> <br />38. EWEB subsidies for organizations providing garden education to underserved <br />communities as water needs increase due to droughts. <br /> <br />39. Award and monetary incentive for organizations working primordially with low <br />income communities, migrants, communities of color, and people with disabilities on <br />mitigation and adaptation to climate change. <br /> <br />40. City partnerships with those organizations on specific projects. For instance, making <br />city land accessible for migrant garden education. <br /> <br />41. City hire and train advocates and leaders in underserved communities who serve as <br />ambassadors that provide education on the city’s decision-making processes, how to <br />provide input to or make demands of city council, climate change and related <br />practices at the individual and collective levels. <br /> <br />42. City dedicates a staff person (with training and community-based experience and <br />connections) to build trust with members of vulnerable communities on issues of <br />climate change-not relying on small, under-staffed and underfunded organizations to <br />do outreach work for the city; and/or increase capacity of organizations to do the <br />outreach work through allocated funding. <br /> <br />43. Have information available in multiple languages, including Spanish, Mandarin,, and <br />other pertinent languages and ensure information is accessible to those who use <br />ASL . <br /> <br />44. Since neighborhood associations are often spaces where people of color and low- <br />income people do not feel welcomed, foster other avenues for community <br />involvement. For instance, provide capacity building to empower community <br />advocates from underserved communities to represent the needs of their <br />communities in political processes and lead community-based emergency response. <br />Activate schools as meeting sites in an emergency or a place to share information <br />with community members. <br /> <br /> <br />November 18, 2019, Work Session – Item 1
