Actions that reduce global warming pollution also reduce electricity and fuel use, minimizing energy costs for citizens, businesses and local governments. The Kodiak Island Borough Assembly has the opportunity to address community impacts of pollutants and rising energy costs through utilizing the comprehensive framework offered by ICLEI, the International Council of Local Environmental Initiatives, with whom we are a member. The Climate Protection Campaign (CCP) offered by ICLEI provides a 5 step methodology which is a standardized means to enable our community to effectively reduce the emissions from both government operations and the community as a whole. The 5 milestones are: 1. Conduct a baseline inventory of global warming pollutants. (see below for details) 2. Establish a target to lower emissions and costs. 3. Develop of local Climate Action Plan (CAP) to implement actions that reduce global warming pollution and costs. 4. Implement the Climate Action Plan. 5. Measure, verify and report performance. As the first step, an inventory identifies and quantifies the pollutants produced by both government operations and the community at large in a particular year. The inventory and forecast provide a benchmark against which the city can measure the progress in terms of its own operations and that of its citizens. The inventory for the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly would involve an energy analysis of borough managed buildings such as the schools, borough building, engineering facilities, Bayside and Women's Bay Fire stations and the Kodiak Fisheries Research Center. The data collecting process is expected to take 10 weeks, approximately 400 hours, to inventory a base year and project a forecast year if we continue as business as usual. During this time the intern may have questions that may require calls to department heads and /or appropriate staff. This time is expected to be minimal, perhaps an hour a week, when questions arise. Borough departments and staff will need to be notified of participation in the Climate Protection Campaign and willing to provide data. For example, the billing department would need to give the ok for the intern to work with Kodiak Electric Association to access meter history. The goal is to find an intern that is self motivated and able to work independently, requiring little assistance from borough staff. In addition, a workplace may be needed with a computer, phone, and other necessary equipment. The intern would learn and utilize software provided by ICLEI to conduct an inventory. The intern may also assist in the development of a greenhouse emissions reduction target and time line and make recommendations to the Kodiak Assembly to meet these goals. ICLEI will provide technical assistance in completing the emissions inventory and forecast, including assistance on how to use the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Software. ICLEI will also provide reports, factsheets and examples from other jurisdictions to assist interns in accomplishing their objectives. There is interest from the University of Alaska Anchorage UAA sustainability program to help fund the intern position in Kodiak. Kodiak College, a strong advocate in our community for sustainability, with a mission to provide quality education and training tools and opportunities for island learners, would like to play a role. Depending on the selection of the intern, the college may provide a supervisor. For example, a potential candidate for the intern may be a grad student with a facility advisor. In addition, Alaska Marine Conservation Council (AMCC), is interested in supporting Kodiak in funding and facilitating efforts to initiate the first milestone and conducting the baseline inventory. AMCC works to protect and restore the marine environment through sustainable fishing practices, habitat protection, and local stewardship. In this effort AMCC launched Fishermen as Frontline Witnesses to Climate Change, a program that works to empower coastal communities in responding to a problem impacting the marine resources on which they depend. Taking action on climate change provides tangible benefits for all of us today — and ensures that future generations will have access to the resources that support healthy, prosperous and livable communities. A grassroots local group, Sustainable Kodiak, is working to practice and promote sustainable methods and technologies to benefit our island community and surrounding ocean. A number of regular members are willing and able to dedicate time to this important undertaking. A similar request will be made to the Kodiak City Council with the hopes that our joint governments will work together in a comprehensive inventory of our island home. This project will save the Borough money, reduce emissions, and be beneficial to the community as a whole in. Several other organizations will help pay for the intern and provide working space. Let's do it!
