Climate Resilience. Table 4.3 – Climate Resilience Ref Description of Matter Applicant – Current Position SDC and NYCC – Current Position Position 4.3.1 ES Study Area and Methodology The ES Study Area for the climate resilience assessment is the Site Boundary and the assessment methodology and the significance of effects has been undertaken in accordance with the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges LA 114. It is agreed that the Applicant has adequately considered and assessed the climate resilience implications of the Proposed Scheme. The authorities have taken a pragmatic approach to the consideration and assessment of these issues and do not have any additional queries or concerns with them. Agreed 4.3.2 ES Baseline The existing baseline is determined using data from the Met Office. The future baseline utilises the UK Climate Projections 2018 (UKCP18) which provide projected changes in climate variables for the UK. The Proposed Scheme has a design life of 25 years and therefore the projections are done for the 2020s (2010-2039) and 2050s (2040-2069). As above. Agreed 4.3.3 Predicted Impacts The potential impacts assessed for the ES include flooding, overheating of equipment, risk of fire, increased wind loading on stacks, longer growing seasons and more vigorous vegetation growth, changes to ground conditions, windborne dust and debris clogging drainage channels and requiring clearing, deformation and melting of paved surface. As above. Agreed 4.3.4 Design, Mitigation and Enhancement Measures Mitigation measures are set out in the REAC which also sets out how the actions and commitments set out within it are secured. As above. Agreed 4.3.5 Residual Effects With the additional mitigation measures applied residual effects were assessed to be ‘minor adverse’ therefore ‘not significant’. As above. Agreed

Climate Resilience. The budget includes $125 million for the Regional Resilience Grant Program under the Integrated Climate Adaptation and Resiliency Program (ICARP). This funding will be used to support regional climate resilience planning and implementation to reduce the risk of climate change impacts such as wildfire, sea level rise, drought, flood, increasing temperatures, and extreme heat events. The budget includes $25 million, one-time, to provide grants to communities seeking to build or upgrade existing facilities to serve as community resilience centers that mitigate the public health impacts of extreme heat and other emergency situations exacerbated by climate change. Cooling centers, fairground upgrades, and other public buildings are eligible for this funding. The budget also makes available $150 million for investments to support adaption and reliance to extreme heat. The budget allocates $80 million from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund for the State Coastal Conservancy. This will be used for the Climate Ready Program to fund nature-based projects to address sea level rise. The budget includes initial planning and development ($16.4 million) in support of the California Climate Information System (CalCIS). The goal of CalCIS is the integration and analysis of the most current climate monitoring data to provide information and decision-making tools for all entities that are working on the climate crisis. The proposed funding would establish a central hub for climate data from local, state, federal, and state’s climate work and future state investments.
Sample 1
Climate Resilience a process aimed at preventing the vulnerability of infrastructure to the potential long-term effects of climate change, while ensuring compliance with the principle of "energy efficiency first" and compliance of the level of greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the Project with the goal of achieving climate neutrality in 2050;
Sample 1
Climate Resilience. The ability of a system and its components to anticipate, absorb, accommodate or recover from the effects of a hazardous event in a timely and efficient manner. This includes ensuring the preservation, restoration or improvement of the system’s essential basic structures and functions (IPCC 2012).

  • Infrastructure Infrastructure serves as the foundation and building blocks of an integrated IT solution. It is the hardware which supports Application Services (C.3.2) and IT Management Services (C.3.3); the software and services which enable that hardware to function; and the hardware, software, and services which allow for secure communication and interoperability between all business and application service components. Infrastructure services facilitate the development and maintenance of critical IT infrastructures required to support Federal government business operations. This section includes the technical framework components that make up integrated IT solutions. One or any combination of these components may be used to deliver IT solutions intended to perform a wide array of functions which allow agencies to deliver services to their customers (or users), whether internal or external, in an efficient and effective manner. Infrastructure includes hardware, software, licensing, technical support, and warranty services from third party sources, as well as technological refreshment and enhancements for that hardware and software. This section is aligned with the FEA/DoDEA Technical Reference Model (TRM) which describes these components using a vocabulary that is common throughout the entire Federal government. A detailed review of the TRM is provided in Section J, Attachment 5. Infrastructure includes complete life cycle support for all hardware, software, and services represented above, including planning, analysis, research and development, design, development, integration and testing, implementation, operations and maintenance, information assurance, and final disposition of these components. The services also include administration and help desk functions necessary to support the IT infrastructure (e.g., desktop support, network administration). Infrastructure components of an integrated IT solution can be categorized as follows:

  • Configuration Management The Contractor shall maintain a configuration management program, which shall provide for the administrative and functional systems necessary for configuration identification, control, status accounting and reporting, to ensure configuration identity with the UCEU and associated cables produced by the Contractor.
