We came togec:her wich purpose and quickly realized the value of sharing resources, expertise and inform.arion. Competitors became collaborators. Challenges became successes. Ar a moment when local government is pressed to achieve maximwn efficiency, the Compact enabled a level ofintergovemmenral cooperacion unprecedented in Southeast Florida's history. Many have contributed to the Compact process, including more rhan 90 members of the public that took the cime ro submit comments co a previously publish.c:d d.rafc.

Regional Climate Change Compact (Compact), a unique and collaborac.ive efforr among Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade, Monroe Coumies, cheir municipaliti~ and pa.rmers, has worked over che past rwo years to develop this plan with an inicial five--yea.r horizon. The plan is a crirical milesrone of che Compacr, enrered inro by Pa.Im Beach, Broward, Mia.mi-Dade, and Monroe CoW1ries in January 2010. Much of the Compacr's work u_p ro mis point has served co unite, organiu, and a..sses.s our region cluough the lens of climate c.hange in setting the stage for accion. Specific accomplish.menu include the development of regionally-cons.isrent methodologies for mapping sea-level rise impam, aucs.sing vulnerabiliry, and understanding the sources of regional greenhouse gas emissions. CoUecrivdy, these work prod.w::rs provide che foundation for chis Regional Cu.mare Accion Plan, which calls for concerred accion in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to region.a( and local impacrs of a changing climare. The recommendations presenced. here aim to ac.c.omplish those

V1 A &gio11 RupomiJ lo a Changing C/imale II. Introduction and Background: Southeast Florida Climate Change Compact Guidance for Regional Policy and Planning
Southeast Florida is considered one of the mosc vulnerable. areas to climace change and sea level rise. In the spring of 2009, so=veral Soucheasc L=lorida counties and cities were ma.king the rounds
in the halls of Congre.ss to advocate for climate policy. A great deal of work h.ad been invested individually by ea.ch jurisd.icrion; however, each had slighcly d.ifferent baselrne. emissions figures ac different poincs of cirne and different sea level rise planning scenarios. The need for regional coordination became quire evidenc Wich 5.6 million residencs wichin che geographic boundaries of the four counties as of che 20 l O c~sus, exceeding the populacion of 30 scares and represencing 30 percent of Florida's population and Gross Domescic Producr, there is an obvious and unique strength in the region's size and in numbers. Thar realizarion paved the way for a unique arrangement - the Compact - a volunrary and cooperative partnership among governing bodies co cackle one of, if nor che mo.sr imporranc issue facing our generation. This cargetc.d and focused collaboracive is the vision and framework for regional resilience. It respects the d.iversicy of che region and the autonomy of che many governing bodies.
The Compacr b~at'I with a comm.icmenc among dw:ed offici.als representing each of the four counties co rernrn co Southeasc Florida and to coordin.are in the hosring of a r~onal dimarc swnmic. The Summit would .serve as a platform for broader discussion among counry and municipal elecwi officials lnd che community as ro the pressures and cb.allenges chac clirru[e change poses for Southeast Florida wich a cill for uni.lied act.ion. ]use four months lacer, their vision began ro take shape when the four Cou.nry Commissions joiocly held the 2009 Region.a.I Cl.imare Leadership Summ.iL This firsc R~onal Summir led to the racificarion of the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Ch.ange Compact by January 2010, with una.nimou.s votes wichin each Counry Commission (Appendix A). Since: adoption, the Counties have assigned. existing sea.ff resourct.S to support imple.menracion of che Compact under the direction of a Compact Sraff Sreeri.ag Commicree.
The Compacr Sraff Sceering Com.rninee is comprised oF rwo m.ff members from each county, one mu.nicipaJ represent1tive from each county and a non-voting munber from che Souch Florida Water Managemenc Discricr who was invired w puticipace. MunicipaJ members represent the cicies of Fort Lauderdale, Key West and Boynton Beach.

Since the racifica.tion of the Compacc, the Compact partners h.ave advanced policy and advocacy goals rhrough joi..'"lt positions, resoluc.ions, letters and funding proposals and advocacy in TalJa.ha.ssee and Washington, D.C. In addition, dw-ing the 111.i. and 112"' sessions of the Unired Star~ Congress, the Compacc partners collaboraccd in the subminal of a joint Clim.a.u Adap1ation Pilbt Project Propo,al a funding requesc to rupporr regional hydrologic modeling needed co guide adaptation planning in response ro projecced sea level rise.

On June 24, 2010, in response co the Dee.pwacer Horizon Oil Spill chat chreacened rh.e region's envi.ronmenc and economy, the Compacc Counties conducred a well-attended conference. calling for comprehensive federal energy policy and protea.ion of Florida's scate and federal wacus from the impacr of oil drilling.

Imrned.iatdy following changes ro 4 A &gion Responds lo a Changing Climau scare law, a Members Letter was signed by several members of Florida's Congressional Dcle:garion requesting support for defining AAA in federal law. Subsequent co the Members Lecrer, the Compact Counties' lobbyisrs and Ddegarion Members have requested the inclusion of language enabling ac-risk, muici county regions impacred by sea level rise to qualify for 20 I 2 Energy and Water Appropriations. During the 2012 Florida Legislative Session the Compacc Counties were successful in helping co amend the Florida Energy Ace co provide for commercial buildings co qualify for energy efficiency program funding through rhe Local Opcion Sales Tax. The Regional Climace Action Plan contains actionable recommendations related co public policy and ouueach in recognition of the face chac a continued commirmenc ro coUa.borace with local, State and federal policy makers, as well as the non-profit and private sectors, is fundamental to long-term success of the Compact. Additionally, the continued and enhanced role of policy advocacy through regional colJaboration, especialJy during rumultuous economic and political times, are imporcant co ensure chat current efforu are nor undermined and the Compact Counties' future efforts re.laced co sustainability are achieved. b. A Baseline of Greenhouse Gas Emissions for Southeast Florida Prior co the Compact, many jurisdictions within Soucheasc Florida had completed emission inventories using a variety of baseline years. The Compact called for the identification and quanci.ficacion of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions across Soucheasc Florida "with a particular focus on emissions from inter-county crave! and commerce." Consistent with chis charge, staff escimated GHG emissions resulting from an inventory of select seccors - transportation .and the builc environment divided. into residential, commercial and indusuial subsectors - using the ICLEI Incernational Local Government Emissions Analysis Protocol (IEAP) within the ICLEI Clean Air and Climate Protection 2009 (CACP 2009) software. "Non-regional" emissions such as the waste sector (including landfill and wascewacer tre:atmem) and local government operations were not included as c.hey were deemed to be primarily under the control of individual jurisdictions. Ocher seccors such as narural areas and agriculture (including their carbon sequescrarion or usink" capacity) were nor included here due ta lack of local information. As emissions track closely with economic output and as chis analysis was initiated during the most significant economic downrum since the 1930s, scaff decided co invenrory annual emissions for each year from 2005 through 2009 (five full years) and average the resulcs for each sector over chose five years for use as a future baseline. By doing so, the inve.ncory averages contain years of both high growth and conuaction. The fu.11 Regional Invencory reporr is included as a supporting docwnem to the RegionaJ Climate Action Plan process.

Regional and Municipal Government Collaboration and Shared Implementation The Sourheasc Florid.a Regional Climate Change Compac.r emerged in 2009 as a collaboracive venture among Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade and Monroe Cauncies and as such, served as me imperus for creating a common framework for dim.ace change mitigation and adaptation srracegies chroughout che Southeast Florida region. This inicial effort far the Compact Counties to callabarare on a reg1onal scale, proved to be an important 6m sce.p in gajning public and poliric:al suppon required fur rhe advance.menr of chis comprehensive planning initiative. Early on, municipal goverrunenr engagemenc and commitment was also recogniz.ed as critically imporranr to die succe.ss of Ule Compact. There are more U'WI I00 local ciry governmenrs in the region, each ar varying scage.s a( climate micigacion and ad..apta.rion planning and implemem..acion.

Mace rece.nr.ly, the Com pace Staff Steering Comrnircee membership was expanded with municipal represencarion co ensure involvement of cicie.s in che d.rafung of the Regional Climate Accioo Plan. Successful icnplemenm.ion of che R.egioru.l Clim.ace Action Plan macegies requires this continued collaboration. In che forrhcoming years, che Comp.act Counties expea ro build coalicioru wich more municipalities, the various Leagu~ of Cities, special d.istrim and ocher governmenral encities, including the Treasure Coan counties panicipacing in the Seven50 Suscainable Cornmuniries Initiative. 12 A Regior, Rupo,uli lo a Changing Cfsmatt The Compact Counties and municipal panners are commicred to the implementation of c:he Regional Climace Action Plan. Of course, implementation strategies must be sensicive co che d.ifferem governance strucrures of counties and municipaliries. Because of the variances in governmem srrucrures, managemenc policies, land use auchorities, charrers (where present), and the policical environmenr.s of me.mber councies and municipalicies, impleruenr.arion is ex:pecred to cake on differenr forms. This Plan should be viewed as a framework ro help guide policies and projects and impleme.n~tion muse be flexible co address specific local condicioru. Ir is also impom.nt co emphasize that the Regional Climate Action Plan does nor provide a ma.nd.ace for any counry or municipal accioru, bur rather saves as a living documenr with options that each regional or local governmenr may adopr and ucilize based on che.ir interests and vision for che furure. Over rime, c:his documenr will be enhanced as more daca becomes available, scientific projecrions are rdined, and besr ma.n.agemenr praccices are developed and tested. The success of the planning dforu chus far is a cesrarnenr co the policical leadership and sraff dedication ro Soucheas-r Florida. We recognize mar by combining our efforu and resources, we are in a berrer posirion moving forward. The Compacr is ar an imponanr turning poinr.

It's relacively easy ro communicate the threat of an imminent storm, tornado or other natural d.isascer, but much more difficult rn mobilize the public ro ha2.ards that unfold over years and decades. The srate of the current economy also makes a long-term discussion on clim.rc change more d.ifficulc when many Americans are thinking about short-term housing, employment and other immediate needs. And, of course, the science of climate change is still conrested by some.

Conclusions Th.is Regional Clirnace Action Plan provides che inic.ial framework for an ongoing regional commitment co building resiliena and rustainabilicy as cocnernon~ of Souc.heasc Florida's regional econornic, social and ecological syscero. The five-~ scope of mis documenc is indicative of the fucr thar mis is c.he beginning rather rhan the end of the Regional Compact proass. The Compact Counties recogniu: chat a given document is less imporcanc than the ongoing coLiaborative process of assessing progress over time, developing new policies and. collaborations among c.he public, private and nonprolir sectors to adjust accordingly and incorporating new knowledge provided by ongoi.ng scienr..ilic endeavors. While much can be lc:a.rned abour mminabiJiry and resilience from past experience, new ccchnologies, changes in the regional economy and changes in the hiscorica.l dimacic condicioru within Southeast Florid.a require active learning over c.he decades to come. The Soumeasc Florida Regioni.l Clim.are Change Compaa has developed the inscicurional capacity to enable c.he collaborative l~ing required to meer rhese challenges over time. The Significance of the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact While providing direct benefics co rh~ region, che Compact has provided a n.ational model for scare and federal agency cngagcmcnc with loc.a.1 governmenc a.round che specific issues of place. As the Cornpacr is led by local govcrnmenr and funher, as the Compacc represencs a significant aggregation of effon: by fou.r councies cont.a.ining over 100 municipa.licies, it has become a highly cfficienc mechanism for s.ure and feder..l agency engagement in the local process.

These stakeholders brought to the table the knowledge of their ucraft." as well as information on successful initiatives already underway locally or in other communities. Many of the recommendations build upon best practices sprinkled throughout our region, such as regional collaboration on transportation planning and land use criteria that foster walkable and healthy communities. Others delve into "new" frontiers in calling for the integration of climate change into planning and decision-making processes in ways that no local government has yet implemented. Below are the fuJJ set of recommendations, organized as focal areas and strategies, offered by each of the three working groups: Built Environment Working Group, Land and Natural Systems Working Group, and the Transportation Working Group, as they were submitted. Built Environment Work Group Focal Areas and Strategies Final Draft August 15, 2011 Focal Area 1 Create Land Development Strategies for Cllmate Reslllence, Sustainable Growth, Risk Reduction, and Emergency Preparedness There Is a demonstrated synergy between sustainable development practices and efforts to improve community resilience to climate change impacts. By promoting a "no regrets" approach, it is possible to affect positive outcomes that further regional climate change mitigation and adaptation goals while improving community livability, economic opportunities and resource sustainability. These adaptation strategies address: building design, elevation and hardening; transportation networks; other critical public infrastructure (potable water, wastewater, stormwater and energy/power); and green infrastructure. Strategies 1) Regional Planning: Incorporate "Adaptation Action Area" designation, and other applicable provisions, into local Comprehensive Plans and regional planning documents to Identify those areas deemed most vulnerable to sea level rise and other climate change impacts including extreme high tides, heavy local rain events, storm surge, or inadequate drainage systems. Action 1: Perform vulnerability analysis to identify and quantify the economic value of regions and infrastructure at risk under various sea level and other climate change scenarios utilizing inundation mapping, modeling, and other appropriate tools. Action 2: Identify and designate "Adaptation Action Areas" (AM) based on the results of vulnerability analyses. Inside AM, local governments should identify "Adaptation Areas," "Restoration Areas," and "Growth Areas." Southe(ZJf Florida &gionol Cli,110/t Chongt Contpoct CoJi/lh·e.r - &gio/Jol Climoft Adio11 Plan B-1 Adaptation Areas - designate areas within the AAA that include developed vulnerable land targeted for infrastructure Improvements or modified land use and/or development practices in order to reduce risks and improve hazard mitigation. In these areas, the high cost of retrofitting, building and maintaining infrastructure is outweighed by the return in investment. Restoration Areas - designate areas within the AAA that include vulnerable lands that may or may not be already developed and could include Coastal High Hazard area and high storm surge areas. Local governments should place priority on the acquisition of land in these areas for restoration. agriculture, or recreational open space. Growth Areas - to consist of areas outside of the AAA where growth is encouraged due to higher topographic elevations and the presence of existing transportation infrastructure. These designated areas should be developed with Urban Design guidelines that address character of urban place and provide a high quality pedestrian experience through landscaping, and the creation of public space. Action 3: Provide public outreach and education to better inform the community about the need for climate change planning, the provision in state law that provides for the designation of uAdaptation Action Areas," and the purpose and implications of such a designatron. 2l Local Planning and Zoning: Develop policies, strategies, and standards that will serve to reduce future risk and economic losses associated with sea level rise and flooding in these designated areas through infrastructure improvements and by directing future development and redevelopment to areas outside AAA. This will also foster sustainable growth patterns, multi-modal transportation options, transit, mixed use development, and the use of sustainable building techniques. 3) Building Code: Revise building codes and require increased resiliency of buildings and infrastructure for new and redevelopment, particularly for those areas within Adaptation Action Areas. 4) Emergency Preparedness: Evaluate adaptation responses for communities at risk and enhance preparedness measures to address climate-related risks and hazards. Action 1: Improve adaptation responses for communities at risk with the development and implementation of: • Methodologies for the assessment and evaluation of evacuation and relocation options • Model evacuation policies and procedures for communrties at increased risk of flooding • Model relocation policies for affected communities Action 2: Incorporate climate change adaptation in the relevant Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS) to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to human life and property from disasters. Within the LMS, update local risk assessments to include cllmate change in the hazard analysis and vulnerability assessment section. 5) Education: Develop outreach programs to increase public awareness about hazards exacerbated by climate change and mitigation and adaptation strategies by the local government to minimize damage and risk. B-2 A .Rtg,'oR &.spo,1d.J /;J a Changing C/imaJ~ Focal Area 2 Ensure the Long-term Adequacy of Surface Water Management Systems, Water Supplies and Wastewater Infrastructure Climate change presents an array of challenges to future water supply plannlng and water management efforts. The combined influences of altered precipitation patterns, increased groundwater elevations, and sea level rises present complex hurdles to regional and local efforts in providing critical drainage and flood control; high qualrty, sustainable, and abundant water supplies; and effective management of stormwater and wastewater. By assuming an integrated approach to water resource management and climate adaptation planning, the influence of a changing climate on the quality and quantity of water resources and related infrastructure can be effectively addressed. Interrelationships between stormwater management, water supply, wastewater disposal and water reuse must be reviewed and actions implemented to ensure the beneficial supply and use of all available water resources in a manner that benefits the public, protects resources. accounts for future conditions, and provides for necessary levels-of- service. Strategies 1 J Risk Assessments: Inventory existing potable water, wastewater, and stormwater treatment, delivery and collection systems; assess the status of each component; determine the potential impact from climate change; and develop different climate change scenarios and adaptation strategies for high-risk utilities and/or infrastructure which may require replacement, reinforcement, or relocation to ensure the long term viability of the system. Action 1: ldentrfy and/or develop baseline hydrologic conditions to provide a measure for comparison in assessing the potential impacts of climate change on regional and local water resources and infrastructure, including the short-term the development of a saltwater intrusion baseline. Action 2: Utilize inundation mapping, variable density models, and water management models to identify areas and infrastructure at risk. Action 3: Identify and quantify vulnerable wellfie/ds, water supply infrastructure, wastewater collection and/or treatment infrastructure, and drainage faclliUes, and devise strategies to protect or relocate, as needed. 2) Reuse and Aquifer Recharge: Identify opportunities to advance beneficial use of stormwater and reclaimed water to reduce potable water demands and provide aquifer recharge and implement as appropriate, as an alternative to disposal. Action 1: Evaluate the impacts of rising sea and groundwater levels on soil storage, infiltration rates and inflow to stormwater and wastewater collection and conveyance systems; consider longer-term Influences on water quality; and develop strategies for implementing reclaimed water and stormwater reuse projects that account for current and future conditions. Action 2: Identify potential sites for use in providing stormwater storage and mechanisms to increase aquifer recharge as a means for managing saltwater intrusion and enhancing water supplies. Action 3: Consider regional projects and opportunities to gain efficiencies through collaborative approaches and projects. Southeast Fwrida Regional Oimate Changa Compatt Cou11liu - Rtgio11al ClimaJe Action Pia/I B-3 3) Integrated Water Resource Planning: Develop Integrated Water Management Plans tr,at present a joint assessment and planning strategy invotving local water utilities, wastewater service providers, water managers, and partners to the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact, for coordinated consideration of starmwater use and disposal, traditional and alternative water supplies, wastewater disposal and reuse, and water conservation measures for use by local leadership to guide planning decisions as well as amendments to applicable codes and regulations. 4) Oralnage and Flood Control: Identify and pursue adaptation strategies to improve drainage and flood control in areas designated as "Adaptation Action Areas" and where changing hydrologic condrt.ions are anticipated to impact surface water management. Action 1: Coordinate with the South Florida Water Management District, Drainage/ Water Control Districts, and public works officials to identify flood control and stormwater management infrastructure already operating below the design capacity. Action 2: Develop and apply appropriate hydrologic and 11ydraullc models to further evaluate the effic;.,cy of existing water management systems and flood control/drainage infrastructure under variable climate conditions. Action 3: Develop and test adaptation Improvements needed to maintain exisUng levels of service and conduct a cost-benefit analysis to prioritize potential improvements, trade-off decisions, and any proposed land acquisitions. Action 4: Incorporate and prioritize preferred improvement projects in capital improvement plans and pursue funding. 5) Everglades Restoration: Support and advocate for complete implementation and funding for the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan as fundamental to Everglades restoration, but also the viability of local water resource management efforts given the overall contributions of the Everglades to regional water storage and aquifer recharge, which will become increasingly important under variable c/fmate conditions and in the face of sea level rise. Focal Area 3 Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions through Improved Regional Strategies for Energy Efficiency, Conservation & Renewable Energy Climate change mitigation can be addressed through plans, incentives, and regulations which promote the efficient use of energy in buildings, transportation and industry; through the use of less carbon-intensive energy sources; and through the productlon and use of renewable energy Regulatory barriers to alternative energy generation must be removed in order to allow these sources of energy to be tapped. Federal and state policies that promote alternative energy use, such as renewable energy portfolio standards for utifities and tax credits for home owners installing small-scale renewable systems must be developed. Strategies 1) Regional Coordination: Undertake regional efforts to advance energy-efficiencies, energy conservation and the deployment of renewable end alternative energy technologies in existing and proposed developments through local ordinance, incentives, education, and energy efficiency financing. B-4 2) Green Building Code: Incorporate sustainable building and neighborhood ratings or national modal green building codes, includlng but not limited to those defined in Section 255.253(7), F.S., into municipal codes region-wide. 3) Local Codes: Develop and implement amendments to local and state building codes, land use regulations and laws to facilitate and encourage the installation of renewable energy systems. Examine existing zoning codes and development standards and revise and update provisions that act as a banier to the installation and use of renewable energy systems. 4) Finance: Work collaboratively toward the establishment of regional framework to deliver Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy ~nance options, in addition to other local government initiatives and partnerships, to advance regional greenhouse gas emissions goals, the use of alternative and renewable energy technologies, and in furtherance of green sector economic development. 5) Goals: Set recurring 5-year regional goals to increase renewable energy capacity- which include the co-banefits of economic development and Job creatlon - through revision of building and zoning codes and architectural design guidelines to allow for, and encourage, integration of renewable energy sources and technologies. 6) Measures: Build upon established methodologies and mechanisms for Greenhouse Gas measurement, verffication and validation to create quantifiable recordkeeping and reporting which conforms with accepted global standards. 7) Education: Provide education and improve communicatlons on energy efficiency and avallable technologies with a focus on both short-term and life-cycle economic and energy gains, incentives available wtthin the regcon (federal, state, local and commercial). Land and Natural Systems Working Group Priority Recommendations Monitor Climate Change a. Establish coordination with NOAA regarding trends in rainfall patterns. Choose an annual conference or other venue at which such trends can be reviewed al regular intervals, b. Monitor changes in rainfall patterns to better predict future wet-season and dry~ season rainfall as well as the salt content in the wells of agricultural lands. c. Develop a vital signs status and trends monitoring program for biological communities. Key parameters may include rate of sea-level rise; saltwater intrusion boundary and monitoring wells; landscape-level vegetation patterns; percent cover In offshore reef zones; water temperature and pH in areas; and occurrence and range of ;nvasive exotic plants and animal species. Ensure Department of Health beach water quality monitoring continues and expand methods of notifying the public and tourism Industry when exceedances are detected. Water Storage II is probable that climate change will also bring about changes in rainfall patterns, either by quantity, intensity in any given rain event or seasonality and perhaps all of these. Although the extent of such changes cannot be known, rt is known that fresh water storage can ameliorate such changes. s OJtfb,fl!I Flon"dt, RLg,o,,a.l Clin1ak Cbange umpad Countiu - &gi1JJu1I Climate A~II Puin B-5 a. Identify lands to be used for water storage to ameliorate changes in rainfall patterns. Storage areas and methods should be planned and located to accommodate drinking water supply, agricultural consumption, accepting flood waters and to maintain hydroperiods on natural lands. b. Identify and promote other land uses compatible with water storage including wetland restoration, certain agricultural operations and certain renewable energy production facilities. Develop joint acquisition and management strategies with these other entities. c. Manage water storage In the region's publicly-owned uplands and wetlands. d. Encourage continued funding for the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP). e. Support CERP Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) flow-way plans that increase freshwater flows to the Everglades, maximize freshwater storage and provide opportunities to improve water quality by establishing marsh communities. Resource Acquisition Acquisition efforts should emphasize preserving existing species diversity as well as considering changing rainfall patterns and elevated saline waters, increasing the region's resiliency against he impacts of natural hazards. a. Develop acquisition priorities in a regional setting to: 1. Ensure preservation of many habitat types and that those types will be represented in a changing climate. 2. Protect high quality drinking water supply 3. Identify hot spots of biological diversity and ensure those locations are either protected or are identified for future land acquisition. 4. Identify and protect higher level lands to which mangrove and salt-marsh species might 'retreat'. b. Assess acquisition priorities in llght of changing rainfall patterns, i.e., if rainfall is more, is the parcel still valuable for identified vulnerable species, if rainfall is less, is the parcel still valuable to other vulnerable species. Consider linkages and migration opportunities for vulnerable species. c. Incorporate 0 Adaptation Action Area" designation into local comprehensive plans and regional planning documents to identify those natural areas deemed most vulnerable to climate change impacts including changes In sea level and rainfall patterns. d. Share acquisition priorities among planning and regulatory agencies e. Promote federal, state and local government conservation land acquisition programs that including fee simple and less-than-fee approaches to conserve natural areas, protect open space and create or maintain resilience and adaptive capacity by maintaining or creating connectivity among natural areas from the coast to inland/upslope. f. Following the model set by Monroe County, link rate of new construction permit Issuance to conservation land acquisition rate. g. Monetize ecological services provided by natural systems and create a sustainable funding mechanism for their protection and management. B-6 A &gion &.rpa,,d.r ta a Changing ClimaJe Resource Management Climate change will likely bring about more rapid introduction of exotics species. Some tools, such as prescribed fire, may become more difficult to implement. Management efforts may become. more intense as lands are managed for certain vulnerable species. Regional cooperation among land management entities will become more essential. a. Coordinate regional invasive exotic species prevention and control efforts emphasizing prevention of new invasions and early detection/rapid response to nascent invasions. b. Coordinate regional fire management efforts emphasizing frequent, low intensity fire regimes In wetland and pine forest systems to maximize habitat quality, resil!ence to change and carbon neutrality while preventing fuel load build up tnat leads to major carbon releases. c. Coordinate "living shorelines" objectives at regional scale to foster use of green infrastructure (e.g. coral reefs and mangrove wetlands) instead of or in addition to grey infrastructure (e.g. bulkheads). d. Leverage existing work of the Florida Reef Resilience Program's "Climate Change Action Plan for Florida's Coral Reef System 2010-2015 for protection of marine habitat. e. Maintain natural resources critical to support the Region's Largest Economic Sectors Migration & Species Diversity a. Identify potential species and habitat vulnerabilities to extremes in precipitation, including extended drought and intense storms, combined with higher temperatures. b. Examine water control structures to ensure that they can provide for inland or upstream migration of riparian species as freshwater habrtats become more saline. c. With the assistance of climate models, maintain or restore multiple areas of habrtat and large-scale connectivity to facilitate population stability and habitat shifts resulting from climate change. d. Minimize diversity and abundance of habitat-homogenizing exotic plant and animal species by monitoring for introductions, colonization, establishment, and connections with other populations. e. Engage and cooperate wilh marine resource agencies to maintain coral reef (e.g., selective breeding) and mangrove ecotones as estuarine habitat and natural barriers to storm surge for maintaining coastal biodiversity. Public Outreach a. Modify existing public outreach, education and engagement programs at natural areas (including upland, wetland, marine, coastal and nearshore environments) to include climate change mitigation and adaptation messaging and volunteer opportunities to enhance green infrastructure that will facilitate climate change resilience and adaptation . b. Initiate a regional public education campaign to educate residents, busine_ss owners, policy makers on the merits of preserving open land as an 'insurance policy' for adaptation to sea level rise in South Florida. S oulbta.rt Florido fu-gwnol C!i.mok Change Compact uu,1tiu - &gional Cii111ole Acrion Plan B-7 Agricultural Lands Research a. Identify & secure research funding to include but not limited to: i) Review and document freshwater marsh peat potential responses to saltwater intrusion. ii) Monitor root-zone salinities and changes to vegetation communities. Adapt planning and management in response to surprises. iii) Identify seagrass, mangrove, and coastal freshwater marsh environmental tolerances to changing factors such as salinity, water depth, substrate, and nutrients. Use this information with climate and hydrological modeling to aid management. iv) Improve Florida Bay shallows bathymetry and use SLR and storm surge modeling to aid identification of habitats at risk. v) Better identify linkages between marine system (e.g. coral reefs and mangrove wetlands) area/condition and hazard risk reduction. a. Develop regulatory requirements that compatible dredge material may be utilized in the restoration of previously existing or establishment of new seagrass beds. b. Ensure that zoning regulations allow for the abllity of plant and animal species to migrate inland as sea levels rise (e.g., limit armoring.) Ensure that land acquisition priorities consider landscape features which may limit species ability to migrate in response to sea level rise and other impacts related to climate change. c. Enforce Coastal Construction Line and Coastal High Hazard Area designations. d. Develop policies and regulations that will serve to reduce future risk and economic losses associated wtth sea-level rise and flooding in these designated areas through infrastructure improvements, insurance subsidization of high- hazard development and by directing development and growth to non-vulnerable areas. Protected and Vulnerable Species In the coastal Everglades, higher elevation plant species may be at more of a risk from sea-level rise than the surrounding freshwater marsh because the marsh can migrate inland, but the upland berms are isolated and their dependent species have no path for migration. Twenty-one of the 43 critically imperiled species extant in Everglades National Park occur in the buttonwood forests coastal hammocks of the Everglades and Florida Keys. In all initiatives aimed at protecting the natural environment, first emphasize a broad ecosystem approach, then evaluate potential conflicts with specific protected resources. Where conflicts are recognized, attempt to resolve them with the least compromise to broad ecosystem'-'alues. a. Identify those narrow beaches lacking natural dunes which might possess high turtle nesting density but which might also be prone to high nest mortality due to nest wash-out during more frequently expected storms and Identify more stable 'receiving' beaches to which nest may be relocated. B-8 A &gum &spondJ lo a 01angi1,g Climoli b. Develop long-term turtle-nesting beach preservation strategies and methods in advance of anticipated coastal armoring which might result in loss of beach nesting habitat. c. Identify zoos, aquariums, herbariums and gardens that might be the repository for seed stock and captive breeding programs for those listed plants and animals under imminent threat of local extirpation due to sea-level rise. d. Compile species information for rare plant species in coastal hardwood hammocks and buttonwood forests and develop adaptation plans that Include, at a minimum, seed bank repository collection and assisted propagation. Additional Language for Consideration: During the five years of this initial Region al Action Plan, those areas within the Southeast Florida region that have been deemed most vulnerable to impacts associated with sea-level rise based upon LiDAR mapping and vulnerability assessments, will be monitored for impacts. These impacts may be from extreme high tides, heavy local rain events, storm surge, or inadequate drainage systems. Those areas most impacted by these events will be considered for inclusion into one or more of the "Adaptation Action Areas". Climate change imposes long-term, continuous change on systems. Continuous changes make management goals a moving target and an observable systems response to actions under current conditions only a partial indicator of success. An adaptive management strategy must Include preparation for long-term, often gradual changes with potential for large abrupt changes. Successful use of this strategy will require ecological and physical modeling to develop hypotheses and goals. Integration of directed research, management, and research-focused monitoring, risk assessment, and database management will be critical. Transportation Working Group Focal Areas and Strategies The first focal area addresses adapting transportation infrastructure to the impacts of climate change as well as planning policies to guide prioritization and investment that take into account climate change Jmpacts and emissions reductions. Incorporating climate change cons1derations into planning and project programming processes would provide the opportunity for transportation professionals and decision makers to develop the most cost effective strategies to best address the impacts of climate change on transportation infrastructure. The next focal areas are strategies to reduce emissions and are organized by the following categories: alternative fuels and vehicle efficiency, system operation efficiencies, and vehicle miles traveled. Each area is often referred to as a leg of a stool, recognizing the importance of addressing all areas to achieve a balance, a strong foundation to build upon. Clearly, there is no silver bullet approach to reducing emissions: it will take a variety of approaches to achieve emissions reductions. Strategies to reduce vehicle miles traveled and provide for multiple modes of travel should be emphasized because of their long-term emissions reductions benefits and health and social benefits. This approach addresses the three pillars of sustainability and aligns with the Federal Livability Principles developed in 2009 to help guide transportation and other planning conducted at the local and regional levels and federal investment decisions. A final focal area is dedicated to funding issues and federal policies and programs critical to the success of local and regional efforts. S oJJllJMII Fltmdu fugionul Clm1alt Chont,t Compact Co,mtiu - fugionul Climate Action Plan B-9 Focal Area 1 De~fop strategies to evaluate risk, adapt the existing transporjatiQn infrastructure. and prioritize future Investments that maximize resiliencv and greenhouse aas (GHG) emissions reductions. Strategies 1) ldentlfy means to effectively engage the multiple public and private sector entitles with roles and responsibilities involving the provision and maintenance or transportation infrastructure and the delivery of transportation services in the region. Document current and evolving coordination efforts among these enUtles. 2) Work together to identify transportation infrastructure at risk from climate change in the region; determine whether, when, where, and to whom projected impacts from climate change might be significant. Employ inundation mapping, modeling and other appropriate tools to assess the vulnerability or transportation infrastructure to the projected impacts of climate change under various sea level rise and other climate change scenarios. At a minimum, assess the vulnerability of the following transportation infrastructure: a) Local transportation networks of the Compact Counties b) The tri-county Regional Transportation Network1 designated by the Southeast Florida Transportation Council (SEFTC), which includes faciliUes that provide the highest level of moblllty, strategic transportation facilities that are critfcal to region's economy and quality of life, including corridors (roadway, rail, waterway), airports, seaports. freight rail tenninals. passenger rail and intercity bus terminals, and evacuation routes. 3) Develop adaptaUon actions that prioritize the people, places. and Infrastructure most vulnerable to the projected impacts on the transportation network. Use a risk-management approach to adapt the existing network including criteria such as timing, likelihood, intensity of anticipated risks as well as costs relative to action versus inaction (description in the Circular on Adapting Transportation to the Impacts of Climate Chenge State of the Practice 2011 http:// onllnepubs.trb.org/on!jnepubs/circulars/ec152.pdf. Best practices also available from NY, CA, and London.) a) Develop regional priorities for short end long term maintenance and retention of the transportation network for a 50 year and a 1 DO year timeframe: evaluate the costs and benefits for maintenance and retention of existing transportation infrastructure, or construction, maintenance and retention of new infrastructure. b) Address issues of inequality and environmental justice associated with climate change impacts and adaptation. Involve all parts of society in the development design and implementation of adaptation actions addressing the transportation network. c) Identify those strategies that provide co-benefits, such as improving disaster preparedness, promoting sustalnable resource management. and reducing GHG emissions including the development of co.st-effective technologfes. 1 SEFTC, Technlc:nl Memorondum 118: Regional TraruportLJrlon Network, April 2010.

B-10 A &gion &spo11dr lo a Cha11ging Climate 4) Integrate consideration of climate change impacts and adaptation into the planning, operations, policies, and programs of local and regional transportation agencies. a) Develop policy statements to incorporate the consideration of climate adaptation into planning processes and investment decisions and adopt the U.S. Department of Transportation's Guiding Principles for Climate Change Adaptation - Adopt integrated approaches. - Prioritize the most vulnerable. - Use best-available science. - Build strong partnerships. -Apply risk-management methods and tools. -Apply ecosystem-based approaches. - Maximize mutual benefits. - Continuously evaluate performance. (http://www.dot.gov/docs/climatepolicystatement.pdf) b) Develop policies to incorporate climate change adaptation strategies into hazard mitigation and post-disaster redevelopment planning. c) Develop policies to address new transportation infrastructure development - to consider future floodplain conditions and vulnerable areas - e.g. rerouting of roads because of potentia! flood damage. d) Modify or develop new design standards for transportation infrastructure located in identified vulnerable areas, e.g. asphalt concrete composition, bridge design, elevation, stormwater management. i.e. Include different pitches combined with stormwater design and/or use of more permeable surfaces to effectively remove water from the roadway; Explore roadway materials that may be utilized in road construction that are more tolerant to quick changes in hot or cold weather, or more tolerant of extended periods of extreme temperatures, in order to decrease repair costs, enhance safety, and increase longevity of road surfaces. e) Develop and require a training program to educate professionals in relevant fields (e.g., architecture, engineering, and construction management) to incorporate adaptation to climate change as a basis for establishing design criteria for new transportation infrastructure. Completion of such training to be a condition for relicensing. (FL Energy & Climate Action Plan -Adaptation Strategies, pg. 8-7). f) Consider the adoption of a "Green~ road design and construction sustalnabllity rating system.(Best practice research: NYDOT. University of Washington) 5) Focus investments and service expansions on strategies contributing to greenhouse gas emissions reductions and enhancing resilience to climate change. a) Continue and enhance regionally coordinated transportation planning through the Regional Long Range Transportation Plan (RLRTP). Identify goals and objectives in the SoufheaJf Florida RLg,'onal Climate Chm,ge Compact Co,,,,ties - ~ional Cnmak Action Plan B-11 RLRTP whose ultimate attainment reinforces the desired achievement of GHG emission reductions and enhancing resilience to climate change. Articulate the supportive role each objective has with respect to emissions reductions. b) Transportation Investment Priorities. Give higher investment priority to transportation infrastructure, programs and services that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Performance standards for climate and related metrics, such as reduced VMT and increased mode split, should be incorporated in transportation and infrastructure programs. i) Develop policies in local and regional planning processes to incorporate evaluation criteria and a process to rank and prioritize projects that meet plan goals and objectives, with an emphasis on those that reduce VMT and use of transportation modes other than the personal vehicle. Projects that enhance economic vitality should also be given priority, such as projects and service expansions along transit oriented corridors and those that improve connections to major airports and seaports. Develop performance measures related to climate change (i.e. VMT reduction) as a means to prioritize projects for funding. c) Prioritize the funding of studies addressing effective adaptation and mitigation strategies, particularly those addressing barriers and assisting in integrating land use and transportation planning approach towards developing a transportation network that reduces vehicle miles traveled by ensuring transportation choices other than the use of personal vehicles. e) Implement the recommendations in the RLRTP to incorporate/use modal prioritization tools. 6) Other a) Develop early warning systems and social media applicatlons (apps) to both inform residents and visitors of high-tide events and to raise overall awareness. b) Identify incentives to encourage migration to less vulnerable areas. Addltlonal language for consideration: Incorporate "Adaptation Action Area~ deslgnatlon into local comprehensive plans and the Reg!onal Climate Change Action Plan for those areas within the Southeast Florida region that have been deemed most vulnerable to impacts associated with sea level rise. Within the "Adaptation Action Areas", special regulations will be established to reduce or eliminate the potential for damage from flooding. During the five years of this initial Regional Action Plan, those areas within the Southeast Florida region that have been deemed most vulnerable to impacts associated with sea level rise based upon UDAR mapping and vulnerability assessments, will be monitored for impacts. These impacts may be from extreme high tides, heavy local rain events, storm surge, or inadequate drainage systems. Those areas most impacted by these events will be considered for inclusion into one or more of the "Adaptation Action Areas~. B-12 A fugion Rllponds to a Ch,mgi,,g Ciimak Focal Area 2 Develop strategies to reduce GHG emissions through use of alternative fuels, vehicle and system operation efficienc1es, vehicle mlles traveled {VMT) reduction, and provision of multiple transportation choices. Strategies Alternative Fuels & Vehicle Efficiency 1) Develop policies to create conditions for the development of alternatlve fuel (bio-diesel/ waste- based bio-diesel) and include these policies in regional plans and Local Comprehensive Plans. lncentivize and remove legislative, local code that may act as obstacle to stimulate the alternative energy industry. (Example: Plan and program Infrastructure improvements for Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (EV/) in collaboration with local utilities. Policies should be developed to incentivize private deployment of infrastructure. Solar charging for electric vehicles should be prioritized fo improve the commtm;ty's emergency management preparedness in times of power outages.) 2) Establish a working group of public and private stakeholders to develop a strategy to promote the use of Plug-in Electric Vehicles in the region. a) Establish locations where infrastructure is needed. Solar charging options should be prioritized to maximize mitigation benefits and to improve the community's emergency management preparedness in times of power outages. b) Develop policies ta incentivize the deployment of infrastructure to complement transit oriented conidors. Reduced transit fares should be a consideration for riders accessing transit facilities by electric vehicles. c) Work with relevant stakeholders to streamline permitting processes associated with charging equipment to encourage the safe and expeditious installation on customer premises and elsewhere. d) Coordinate monetary and non-monetary incentives available to the general public and organizations purchasing electric vehicles. 3) Develop strategies to promote fuel efficient driving habits. a) Conduct best practice research on existing campaigns and look for opportunities to Integrate tools into exisUng high school, county and municipal driver education courses, traffic school curriculum, truck driver training, and fleet associations. http://climatechange. transportation .orq/qhg itigation/operations.aspx ) System Operation Efficiencies 1) Develop a toolbox of successful strategies to maximize the efficiency of the existing transportat!on network that have been used by partners in the region. When feasible information should include imp/ementin9 steps, costs, and effectiveness of GHG emissions reductions. Some strategies to consider include the use of roundabouts, traffic signal prioritization far transll queue jumps, etc. S oulbtaII Florida &gionol Climalt Change Compact CoNntiu - fugiono/ Climale Action Plan B-1 3 2) Develop poncies to facilitate and streamline the deployment of energy efficient and renewable energy such as the installation of LEDs and/or solar for public infrastructure such as street lighting, parks, parking facilities. a) Survey counties and regional agencies with lighting infrastructure to detennine the level of deployment and lo gather best practJce pollcies and Implementation steps to facilitate the application of efficient lighting practices in additional infrastructure. 3) Develop a strategy for incentivizing the development of truck parking with electr1fication facilities and the use of auxiliary power unns to reduce extended idling by trucks. a) Survey transportation agencies (MPOs, FDOT, etc.) for existing studies identifying trucking patterns and needs. b) Identify strategic locations for truck parking facilities and seek competitive funding opportunities as a region. 4) Develop policies to reduce the impact of transportation construction, maintenance. and agency operations - such as substituting fly ash for cement, using warm-mix instead of hot- mix asphalt- on GHG emission reduction, and require construction contractors to implement emissions reductions practices. Incorporate actions that reduce GHG emissions during project devefopment and implementation, such as using recycled materials, incorporating low carbon cement mixtures, utilizing alternatively fueled vehicles, and purchasing locally or regionally manufactured materials. 5) Provide seamless transitions between transportation modes to increase the use of low carbon modes for the movement of people and freight in the region. a) fmprove connections between Tri-Rail and county transit service, municipal trolley and community shuttle bus services (may include re-alignment of routes). District circulators (Metro Mover in downtown Miami connects to Metro Rail) provide the last leg of a commute for transit riders and should have hlgh frequency and ease of transfer. b) (Placeholder for regional freight strategies to integrate the many regional activities underway, e.g. periodic convening of regional freight summits providing opportunities to address that audience, development of a virtual freight network, studies exploring the potential for freight rail on a western corridor, etc.) c) Improve the transfers between transportation modes and move towards the delivery of a seamless fare media across the region. d) Develop planning strategies to address planning for the aFirst and Last Mile" of transit trips. Reduce Vehicle MIies Traveled and Promote Multiple Modes Local communities with mixed-use developments and streets designed to encourage non motorized modes of transportation are expected to reduce personal automobile trips. There is a need to connect those communities to corridors that link to regional employment centers and other destinations through low-carbon transportation options. The policies in this area will be developed to support the Federal Livabrlily Principles which among other things emphasize the reduction of household transportation costs for people of all ages, incomes, races and ethnicities through reliable access to employment centers, educational opportunities, services and other basic needs. B-14 A Rtgion &sponds lo a Chor.gj1Jg C/i111ale 1) Land Use Approaches. a) Require new development and redevelopment projects in existing and planned multimodal corridors and urban centers to be planned and designed to promote transit oriented development and transit use, which mixes residential, retail, office, open space and public uses in a pedestrian-friendly environment that promotes the use of rapid transit services. b) Develop policies to plan Transit Oriented Developments (TOD) along Transit Oriented Corridors (TOC). Consider the Regional Transportation Network in the development of potential TOCs. Develop policies to streamline the approval process for TODs. c) Explore expansion of activity based transportation modeling to more accurately predict, inform, and utilize transit trip data. d) Develop policies to improve the movement of non-motorized modes through the adoption of best practice models including Complete Streets. i) Develop guidelines, models, and implementation projects to accelerate implementation. ii) Identify partners and resources to support training and the research into new techniques far transportation design professionals. e) Modify local land use ordinances ta encourage compact development patterns. i) Adopt form-based codes or hybrid codes that use physical form, rather than separation of land uses, as their organizing principle and that take into consideration the urban transect or context zones. ii) Consider regional implementation of rapid transit zones to maintain land use control around a station with multiple jurisdictions. f) Consider the adoption of green neighborhood certification programs to guide decision making and development and to provide an incentive for better location, design, and construction of new residentlal, commerclal, and mixed-use developments. 2) Transit Options - Transit a) Study increasing service frequency on key routes and developing targeted transit routes, in the model of 1-95 express to bring people directly from residential areas to regional centers of employment. Another example is "The Flyer" route from MIA to Miami Beach. Util!ze existing studies of direct routes to inform this process. b) Leverage limited resources for campaign and promotional advertisements by coordinating regional public transportation messaging to attract "choice" riders. Messages should focus on making riding transit cool. c) Deploy social media applications, (apps) to facilitate use of transit including access to real-time information such as arrival times. d) Increase the amenities available to transit passengers, such as shade, shelters, kiosks, and real time boarding information. 3) Transportation Demand Management S oullJMII Flon'da &gio11al Climate Change Compad Ca1111tiM - Regional Oimale Action Plan B-15 a) Vanpool/Carpool programs - Work with MPOs and South Florida Commuter Services to identify opportunities to expand these programs. b) Car & Bike Sharing Programs - Work with companies providing these services and strategic partners (universities, municipalities, large employers, etc.) to establish zip car, bike sharing and personal vehicle sharing programs. 4) Bicycle Facilities a) Prioritize implementation of planned bicycle and pedestrian networks. Evaluate whether these facilities are connected regionally and on a local scale to major employment, education, and recreation centers. b) Implement roadway project checklist that includes measures of pedestrian and bicycle accommodation. c) Consider regional adoption of Transit and Biking programs that aim to improve access to transit. d) Develop policies to increase designated bike parking facilities at commercial and retail developments. Focal Area 3 Federal Policies needed to support local and regional efforts 1) Federal Surface Transportation Authorization. Support new authorization of the federal surface transportation programs with increased priority for funding public transit and non motorized travel and integrated regional and metropolitan planning as means to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector. The federal program needs to explicitly incorporate climate change and shift. priorities toward programs that encourage reinvestment in existing infrastructure and communities ("fix-it-first" programs), support public transportation and transit- oriented development, and address congestion management through means other than road building. 2) Reform Transportation Models and Enhance NEPA Processes. To recognize when shifts are taking place in the true costs of road and transit, the surface transportation authorization legislation should encourage the development of up-to-date models and tools that measure the relative shifts in auto and transit costs, both up-front and on an operating basis as well as costs related to climate i~pacts and performance. Further, the U.S. Department of Transportation should be directed to develop ways and means to enhance the NEPA process in this regard as NEPA is central to all highways and transit project investment analysis. 3) Increase CAFE Standards. Establish stronger Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) Standards and enforce their adoption.
