Sustainability & Climate Action Plan for City of Prairie Village, Kansas
Target: Net-Zero Carbon Emissions by 2050
Project Details:
KERAMIDA is working with the City of Prairie Village, Kansas, to develop a Comprehensive Sustainability Program that will provide a cost-effective and science-based pathway to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Project highlights include:
Greenhouse Gas Inventory
Climate Scenario Summary
Community Engagement
GHG Reduction Roadmap
Sustainability Program Management Plan
KERAMIDA conducted a Data Review to understand all relevant City Plans and identify where sustainability synergies and opportunities exist. KERAMIDA created a GHG inventory for Prairie Village's municipal operations from 2018-2022. Climate vulnerabilities and risks in Prairie Village were identified and assessed to create a final Climate Scenario Summary to align the communities' current GHG emissions with RCP scenarios to project future climate trends within the City.
KERAMIDA worked with Prairie Village to develop a list of peer cities and performed a benchmarking assessment comparing key climate and resilience-related plans and legislation. KERAMIDA completed several municipal staff interviews, presented to the City Council, and hosted a Council Engagement Session to elicit feedback and assess the municipality's capacity for collective action toward addressing the reduction target. KERAMIDA also assisted Prairie Village’s municipal staff with completing their annual CDP Report Submission.
KERAMIDA conducted feasibility interviews with municipal staff, developed a Greenhouse Gas Reduction Roadmap, and developed a final Sustainability Program Management Plan. The final deliverable outlined the steps that Prairie Village will need to take to advance sustainability, possible funding sources where applicable, responsible parties, and interdependencies of each step.
