Climate Friendly Parks Pacific West Region

The Pacific West Region (PWR) aims for carbon neutrality in its operations by reducing carbon emissions and enhancing carbon sequestration in parks. Key strategies include implementing an Environmental Management System (EMS), Climate-Friendly Parks initiatives, and energy conservation measures. PWR will focus on renewable energy, sustainable design, water conservation, and alternative transportation. Additionally, it seeks to involve youth through various programs while adhering to federal leadership goals for environmental performance. By 2015, the goal is to reduce emissions by 30%, laying the foundation for a greener future.

  1. Climate Friendly Parks Pacific West Region

  2. Vision for Carbon Neutral The Pacific West Region will be carbon neutral in its operations. Achieving carbon neutrality will require the reduction of carbon emissions and other greenhouse gases through energy conservation, an increase in renewable energy, and an increase in park carbon sequestration.

  3. PWR strategy is to focus on: • EMS • Climate Friendly Parks • Mitigation Action Plan • Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation • Water Conservation • Fossil Fuel Conservation & Replacement • Fleet Management and Alternative Transportation • Sustainable Design/LEED Buildings, SBIP • Solid Waste, Green Purchasing, and Pollution Prevention • Education and Communication

  4. FM Climate Change Mitigation Action Plan • Data Analysis - PWR energy use and emissions • data, energy & vehicle use trends • Tools & Information - opportunities for emissions • reduction, cost-effective, mitigation technologies • Action Items & Schedules - region to park actions, • timeframe, responsibilities • Work towards EO 13423 goal to reduce emissions 30% by 2015 • New EO 13514 Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, • and Economic Performance

  5. Conduct GHG Inventories in all parks by • Dec. 2009, using 6 SCA interns • Complete 3 park and 5 network workshops by April 2010 • Complete Climate Action Plans by Sept. 2010

  6. The Youth Connection • New funding opportunities to employ youth to green our parks and implement CFP’s • 2010 - Youth Intern Program new! • 2010 - WASO based University programs • 2011 - Youth Partnerships Program • 2011 - double YCC funds
