Public Review Draft <br />Page 12 San Leandro 2021 Climate Action Plan <br />This includes providing food and childcare during the meeting, choosing meeting locations near <br />public transit or during existing community events, and seeking multi-lingual interpretation. The City <br />planned the first in-person CAP community workshop with these considerations in mind and offered <br />childcare; dinner; a bicycle, pedestrian, and transit-accessible location; and interpretation in <br />Chinese and Spanish. It is also important for City staff and partners to find ways to reach out to <br />groups and individuals who do not typically participate in planning processes and incorporate <br />innovative techniques for engagement. <br />Figure 4 Engine of Climate Resilience Planning <br /> <br />Reference: The Guide to Community Driven Planning from the National <br />Association of Climate Resilience Planners and Movement Strategy Center, <br />2017. <br />Equitable Climate Solutions and Just Transition <br />The development of equitable climate solutions must address both short-term and long-term needs. <br />Short-term strategies that prepare communities and reduce hazard vulnerability are more effective <br />when coupled with long-term actions that address institutional and structural inequities that are <br />sources of increased climate risk in frontline communities. Addressing social inequities helps to <br />develop community resilience to climate change. <br />In the long term, San Leandro must work toward a just transition and root causes of the climate <br />crisis. The just transition comes from the labor and environmental justice movement and refers to <br />the transition away from the extractive profit-driven economy and culture to one that is ecologically <br />sustainable, just, and equitable for all members of society. A central theme is moving away from <br />fossil fuels to renewable energy and the need to create sustainable green jobs for workers, <br />particularly those in the fossil fuel industry. Distribution of resources and climate action benefits to <br />people based on the greatest unmet need is critical to ensuring all people can equitably participate <br />in the new regenerative economy. <br />56
