Offer multiple methods of participation. We recognize that different people respond to different formats and group dynamics. To ensure that all attendees are best able to participate we will use a variety of formats such as the World Cafe discussion approach of 4-5 person tables, break out groups, full-group presentations, and priority voting exercises. Through combining the results of the different methods, we are able to identify themes and priorities that can then direct future work stages. Global Green will lead a stakeholder engagement approach that puts these principles into practice, featuring the following groups and formats: • Community Stakeholder Workshops: Three events over the course of the project, allowing stakeholders identified from a wide variety of sectors to provide input at key steps in the project. • Internal Working Group: Three meetings over the course of the project, in which key stakeholders from relevant City departments will provide both technical and process guidance. • Targeted Stakeholder Meetings: Up to six meetings with individual stakeholders who are critical to the success of Santa Ana's climate mitigation efforts. • City Council Meetings: One study session to provide an opportunity for guidance in identifying and evaluating CAP measures, and one formal hearing to consider adoption of the CAP. In conclusion, the ICLEI team is enthusiastic about making the Santa Ana inventory and CAP a success in meeting the City's objectives. We recognize there are many motivations at work in pursuing climate mitigation-including regulatory compliance, fiscal benefits, the drive of leadership, and simple ethical responsibility-and we are adept at fashioning processes and plans that harness these motivations to create exemplary outcomes. The following sections of this proposal detail how those outcomes will be brought about in the City of Santa Ana. SCOPE OF WORK The methodology and scope of work presented here is designed to meet the needs of the City by implementing the Project Approach outlined above. The methodology unfolds in two phases: Phase 1 includes development of the all-sector GHG emissions inventory and forecasts, and Phase 2 includes development of the emissions targets and the Climate Action Plan (CAP) and associated implementation strategy. Stakeholder engagement is interwoven into all phases of the project, but is called out separately under Task 8. The following section outlines the recommended workplan for executing the project, with specific attention to tasks and team responsibilities in each phase. Phase 1: Develop Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory and Forecast The primary deliverables for this phase will be the GHG emissions inventory and forecast for both government operations and the community, along with associated data files. A baseline GHG inventory and the associated emission projections form the foundation on which the CAP's GHG reduction target is established and reduction measures are evaluated. Therefore, establishing an accurate, transparent, and useful baseline GHG inventory is key to developing a successful CAP. 25t° 14
