Attachment H <br />Roseville 2040 Chapter 9: Resilience and Environmental Protection <br />CHAPTER 9: RESILIENCE AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION <br />This resilience and environmental protection plan includes the <br />following information: <br />1. What We Heard <br />2. Current Practices <br />3. Environmental Protection <br />4. Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction <br />5. Resilience <br />6. Renewable Energy <br />7. Environmental Education and Outreach <br />8. Goals and Strategies <br />With a vision of being a dynamic and sustainable community that proactively <br />addresses evolving community needs, the City of Roseville is committed to <br />enhancing its existing natural resources and strengthening its resilience — the <br />community's ability to respond, adapt, and thrive under changing environmental <br />conditions. <br />Roseville has a history of environmental stewardship, with wetlands, ponds, trees, <br />and vegetative cover playing a key role in the physical, social, and economic <br />development of the city. Building upon past efforts and current initiatives — <br />ranging from benchmarking energy used within the City to leveraging university <br />partnerships, to evaluate potential areas of improvement — this chapter identifies <br />strategic areas of focus to protect natural resources and strengthen citywide <br />resilience. <br />While other chapters describe pathways to social and economic resilience, this <br />chapter focuses on environmental resilience. Improving citywide resilience can <br />help protect against anticipated climate -related risks, while also strengthening the <br />local economy, improving public health, and enhancing livability for all Roseville <br />residents. <br />Chapter9 I Page 1 <br />
