For example, climate <br />is expected to perpetuate the duration and frequency of droughts, which threatens a <br />number of ecosystems throughout the Western United States that rely on water to survive. <br />As indicated in multiple reports, climate change is being perpetuated by the burning of <br />fossil fuels and the subsequent greenhouse gases emitted from this process. By shifting to a <br />renewable energy source, the City will be reducing its carbon emissions, thereby <br />combatting climate change and the threat it poses to a number of ecosystems throughout <br />the western United States. <br />Specifically, the Project is intended to help provide ecological resilience to climate change <br />City Council 26 — 19 12/7/2021 <br />9 <br />PREVIEW Date: Nov 03, 2021 Workspace ID: WS00800354 Funding Opportunity Number: R22AS00023 <br />
