Assignment Task 1: Types of Mitigation Strategies

For each type of Climate Change Mitigation Strategy, briefly describe a specific example, based on course readings. Reference the source of your example, e.g. (Falk et al. 2020).

Type of Mitigation Strategy
[example] Albedo Modification	Portland has a goal of 30% urban forest canopy to  provide shade and cooling for streets and streams, as well as to provide some carbon sequestration (Portland CAP 2015).
1. Conservation (activity, system
structure)
2. Efficiency (demand-side)
3. De-carbonization (supply-side)
4. Carbon Sequestration - Ecological
(enhance carbon cycle)
5. Albedo Modification - Ground-Based
(heat management)
6. Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS)
(post-combustion)
7. Economic Restructuring (system
structure)
8. Education & Social Change, incl.
Behavior Change (for all of the above)

Assignment Task 2: Buildings & Cities

Discuss one mitigation strategy for Buildings & Cities [2-3 paragraphs] including the following:

• Name and Type of mitigation strategy or combination of strategies (refer to Q1 above).
• Potential energy or GHG savings (quantitative, if available).
• Explain *how* the strategy works. How does it save energy or improve efficiency, reduce or sequester emissions, change albedo or change system structure?
• Briefly discuss how/if the strategy enhances social equity and restorative justice.
• Cite your references, including course readings and any additional sources.

Base your response on course readings and lecture notes: Heinberg & Fridley 2016; Drawdown 2020; Exponential Roadmap (Falk et al.2020); Williams et al. 2020; San Francisco or Portland CAP; Ohshita et al. 2015.

Assignment Task 3. Mobility: Transport & Urban Form

Discuss one mitigation strategy for Transport & Urban Form [2-3 paragraphs] including the following:

• Name and Type of mitigation strategy or combination of strategies (refer to Q1 above).
• Potential energy or GHG savings (quantitative, if available).
• Explain *how* the strategy works. How does it save energy or improve efficiency, reduce or sequester emissions, change albedo or change system structure?
• Briefly discuss how/if the strategy enhances social equity and restorative justice.
• Cite your references, including course readings and any additional sources.

Assignment Task 4: Renewable Energy Supply

Discuss one mitigation strategy for Renewable Energy Supply [2-3 paragraphs] including the following:

• Name and Type of mitigation strategy or combination of strategies (refer to Q1 above).
• Potential energy or GHG savings (quantitative, if available).
• Explain *how* the strategy works. How does it save energy or improve efficiency, reduce or sequester emissions, change albedo or change system structure?
• Briefly discuss how/if the strategy enhances social equity and restorative justice.
• Cite your references, including course readings and any additional sources.
