Investing in a way that makes your community more sustainable and less expensive down the road with Cleveland, OH
Cleveland initially created a sustainability plan focusing on water quality and carbon emissions totaling $187 million in investments. However, a CIW's detailed co-benefit data revealed shifting priorities: declining health quality, inefficient carbon emissions goals, and increased health inequality. CIW helped them create a new cost-effective plan:
-
Carbon Emissions Reduction: Increasing bus rapid transit options for decreased emissions and air pollution.
-
Carbon Sequestration Commitment: Reforesting and adding wetlands to meet environmental goals.
-
Health Programs & Equitable Access: Implementing naloxone and prescription drug management initiatives to enhance health outcomes.
Our innovative methods resulted in:
