ICLEI MILESTONE ONE AWARD REQUIREMENTS • Quick-action sustainability assessment, including a greenhouse gas emissions inventory for local government operations and the community. • Submittal to ICLE1 of ail emissions inventory data (from software tool) and a report summarizing the results from the inventory and sustainability assessment. Although its important to start thinking about indicators early, this list will need to evolve as the goals and specific measures for the plan are developed in Milestones Two and Three. For this reason, Milestone One should be undertaken in parallel with Milestone Two. Brainstorming the overall goals for the plan early in the process will help to guide the research and data-gathering activities in Milestone One. For additional details on performing a sustainability assessment, refer to the Sustainability Assessment Checklist (in your toolkit folder). TASKS; 1. Begin to define the scope of the plan. • Define preliminary scope and guiding principles for the plan. The guiding principles will be used to inform decision-making throughout the planning process, so it is useful to establish them upfront. • Solicit feedback from the interdepartmental team and advisory board on the potential scope, goals, - and guiding principles for the plan. 2, Inventory existing sustainability measures. • Inventory local government sustainability and energy efficiency accomplishments to date, 150 120 - using the Sustainability Existing initiatives Template. 100 • Highlight these successes in the sustainability _ — assessment report. — — i 80 201 3.

Establish a baseline year and project emissions out to .. ` 2.0 your target year, assuming business-as-usual conditions. • Start the greenhouse gas emissions inventory first, since this is a more labor intensive piece of the sustainability for assessment and it is also fundamental baseline informa- tion needed for the planning process.
