KERAMIDA’s Livable Cities team is partnering with the Lexington-Fayette County Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) to develop the region’s first Comprehensive Climate Action Plan. With funding from the Inflation Reduction Act through the US EPA’s Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG), KERAMIDA is working alongside ClimateView, Tetra Tech, the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government (LFUCG), and Bluegrass Greensource to deliver the CCAP. The team is drafting a plan containing near- and long-term reduction measures and projects that will facilitate emissions reductions.

With funding from the Inflation Reduction Act through the US EPA’s Climate Pollution Reduction Grant (CPRG), KERAMIDA is working with the Grand Valley Metropolitan Council (GVMC) to develop a Priority Climate Action Plan (PCAP) that will be submitted to the EPA on March 1, 2024. The plan will connect and uplift existing state, regional, and local plans while preparing communities to be competitive for $4.6 billion in implementation grant funding for the policies and programs it identifies. Particular attention is paid to low-income and disadvantaged communities and how the programs in the plan will benefit underinvested areas in the jurisdiction. The plan will cover the four-county region of West Michigan, including Ionia, Kent, Montcalm, and Ottawa Counties.

KERAMIDA is working with the City of Norwalk, Connecticut, to deliver a pragmatic, actionable Sustainability and Resilience Plan that will directly improve the City's administrative capacity to mitigate emissions and adapt to a changing climate. This project uniquely focuses on building municipal engagement and capacity by working across departments on implementation workshops, training, and integration into the existing workflow.

KERAMIDA conducted a comprehensive Greenhouse Gas (GHG) inventory for the coastal city of Norwalk, Connecticut. This project was undertaken in close collaboration with the Norwalk Redevelopment Agency to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of the assessment. Our team worked diligently to identify key stakeholders who played a vital role in data collection. Once these stakeholders were identified, we organized a productive data collection workshop. During this workshop, we outlined the data requirements for each GHG sector as specified by the Global Protocol for Community GHG accounting. As part of our commitment to producing accurate results, we actively addressed any data issues or gaps that arose during the process. Our goal was to ensure that all information was not only collected but also organized in a manner that facilitated meaningful analysis. To perform the GHG calculations and generate a comprehensive community GHG inventory for the City of Norwalk, KERAMIDA utilized our partnership with the Swedish tech company, ClimateView.

KERAMIDA and ClimateView are working with the Louisville Jefferson County MSA to support the development of a Preliminary Climate Action Plan (PCAP). We are collaborating with community and project partners to establish a Greenhouse Gas inventory for the MSA within ClimateView’s software, ClimateOS, and identify data collection gaps for future consideration. KERAMIDA integrated the PCAP Greenhouse Gas Reduction Measures into ClimateOS and presented the dashboard capabilities to the Net Zero Advisory Group (NZAG). The KERAMIDA team is currently helping draft the PCAP along with the MSA and project partners.
