Climate Ready Community

What does this outcome look like in Richmond? Expanded access to services related to climate change, emergency preparedness, more neighborhood shelters and resilience hubs, improved climate education, more efficient housing that is disaster-ready, an empowered community with improved health and well-being, established networks with community members ready to assist their neighbor in response to climate impacts, and reduced climate-related illnesses and fatalities.

How will this outcome be measured?

The Office of Sustainability has developed indicators to measure the progress of the climate ready community outcome.

  • Indicator: The number of residents receiving information on climate change impacts through websites, social media, events, training seminars, and other communications channels.

  • Equity Indicator: The percentage of the population facing "high vulnerability" to climate change per the Climate Equity Index by race and ethnicity.
