CUYAHOGA COUNTY Climate Change Action Plan May 15Th 2019 “Together We Thrive” CUYAHOGA COUNTY Climate Change Action Plan May 15th 2019 “Together We Thrive” Message from Cuyahoga County Executive Armond Budish Dear Resident of Cuyahoga County, Climate Change is real and it is local. The recent UN report that 1 million plant and animal species are at risk of extinction because of human activity is only the latest, frankly, horrifying development. But the good news in that report and in other data is that communities can take local action that can result in positive change. We can stop some of the momentum. Where we cannot change the trajectory, we can make our communities and our residents more resilient. That is what this Climate Action Plan is – our road map for the work that lies ahead. One of the most important things we must do is recognize and focus on the fact that climate change effects our most vulnerable – the poor, the very young, the elderly. These are some of the very same people the County provides benefits and services to every day. The challenge is enormous. To meet it we are focusing on five areas: energy; land use; transportation; ecosystem and health. In each of these areas we brought people and organizations together in a true collaboration. We cannot fight this fight in silos. There is a lot of work to do. Cuyahoga County will not solve the ills of global climate change by ourselves of course. But we will do our part. This plan is one that will evolve as we learn and gain experience in the fight to keep our County safe for our children and for generations to come. Very truly yours, Armond Budish County Executive Cuyahoga County This page intentionally left blank. 2 3 “Together We Thrive” Acknowledgments Focus Area Groups and Supporting Agencies Cuyahoga County Sustainability Department Health 2079 E. 9th Street, Rm 8-304 Energy Cleveland, Ohio 44115 • Cuyahoga County Board of Health (216) 443-3785 • Cuyahoga County Department of Economic • MetroHealth Development • University Hospitals Sustainability Department • The City of Cleveland Office of Sustainability • Cuyahoga Community College Mike Foley, Director Land Use • McDonald Hopkins, LLC David Nader, Sustainability Outreach Specialist • Cleveland State University • Cuyahoga County Planning Commission Stephanie Choi, Sustainability Coordinator • Case Western University • Northeast Ohio Regional Coordinating Agency • Better Together Solar • Trust for Public Land Project Team • Yellowlite Solar • Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District • Keybank • Cleveland Metroparks Mike Foley, Director • Greater Cleveland Partnership/Council of Smaller • Cuyahoga County Office of Emergency Stephanie Choi, Sustainability Coordinator Enterprises Management Robert Brand, Ph.D, Watershed Program Manager, Cuyahoga County Board of Health • Cleveland Metropolitan Housing Authority • University at Buffalo, SUNY Hannah C.

  • Cleveland and Cuyahoga Health Data Matters Redirect to Healthy
    Cleveland and Cuyahoga Health Data Matters Redirect to Healthy Northeast Ohio January 28, 2021 Healthy Northeast Ohio welcomes visitors from Cleveland and Cuyahoga Health Data Matters (HDM). As of January 31, 2021, Health Data Matters will terminate as a website. Going forward, visitors will be redirected to Healthy Northeast Ohio. As early champions of open data, Health Data Matters, led by Amy Sheon and Scott Frank at Case Western Reserve University's School of Medicine, offered an invaluable service to health departments and other organizations that wanted to make their data available to the public. Recognizing the importance of social determinants of health, the site enabled visitors to examine the relationships between poverty, education, health outcomes and health disparities, anticipating subsequent widespread interest in these topics. They also made sophisticated data visualization tools available so that people could create maps without having to have or master geographic information software. These tools were of fundamental value in recognizing the compounding effect of neighborhood segregation and poverty on health outcomes and disparities. Finally, Health Data Matters spawned innovation in public health, such as creating the Neighborhood Immersion for Compassion and Empathy Virtual Reality Empathy Training--an immersive experience of neighborhood-level data. By making Health Data Matters available at the Cleveland Medical Hackathon, Amy mentored a generation of health innovators to incorporate attention to the overall impact of their technology. She was especially instrumental in calling attention to place-based disparities in digital connectivity as a social determinant of health. Scott taught a generation of students to use mapping techniques as part of their public health training.

  • January 9, 2009 Local Government Reform
    JANUARY 9, 2009 LOCAL GOVERNMENT REFORM COMMISSION MEMBERS DEBATE MISSION, RESEARCH compiled from Gongwer Some underlying tensions between different governmental entities already were evident during the inaugural meeting of the Commission on Local Government Reform & Collaboration on Monday. The panel is charged with the sensitive and challenging task of recommending ways to streamline Ohio's multi-layered local government system. Underscoring the varied opinions among panelists themselves, they even voiced differences over whether the first order of business should be to focus on devising a mission statement or to launch into research. A resolution by Ohio State University's John Glenn School of Public Affairs to provide research for the Commission became the subject of debate when Ohio Township Association Executive Director Mike Cochran said he was blindsided by the offer. "That's going to cause the greatest amount of disagreement between us - if people are getting communications and having in-depth discussions while leaving some people out," he said. Mr. Cochran said he was concerned that OSU's offer would give academics too much say over the direction of the commission and he endorsed a suggestion from Co-Chairman Troy for the panel to create a mission statement before pursuing research. "A lot of people sitting around this table, myself included, have preconceived ideas," he said. "I think we need to have a heart- to-heart among ourselves." Former House member Larry Wolpert, who co-authored implementing legislation, said the University previously had expressed interest in assisting the panel in its work and was reaching out to other state institutions to get involved in the effort.

Home|Minnesota|Ohio|Business|Politics Select your edition National Innovation, influence and business in America's medical cities. 4.29.10 | Mary Vanac | Cleveland, Ohio Ohio biomedical industry would be a shadow but for Third Frontier By passing Issue 1 on May 4, Ohio voters would extend the Ohio Third Frontier program for four years with a $700 million bond issue. Without voter approval, the state’s largest, most aggressive, and arguably, most successful, economic development program ends in 2012. What would Ohio and its biomedical industry look like had it not been for Third Frontier? Ohio would be shy 55,000 new jobs, many of them high-paying research, scientific and technical jobs, which Third Frontier created in five industry clusters, including biomedical, since 2002. The state wouldn’t have generated a $6.6 billion economic impact from those jobs, as well as from investments made in — and taxes paid by — more than 600 new companies, in those eight years. Ohio’s aggressive and sound investment strategies in the biosciences — much of that via Third Frontier — would not have been made. Those investments now are delivering results in the form of jobs, new and recruited companies, and rapidly increasing growth capital, according to the Ohio Bioscience Growth Report 2009 by BioOhio, the state’s biosciences company developer. Its biomedical institutions and companies would have foregone $365 million in grants, which is 36 percent of the $1 billion in grants made by the program so far.
