Climate Action Plan Story Map

This is an informative story map summarizing the progress and recommendations of Alaska’s first Climate Action Plan (CAP). A CAP provides a dynamic framework for measuring and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and developing climate change mitigation and resiliency strategies. Since its implementation in 2007, Homer has used its CAP as a personalized roadmap for making informed decisions regarding environmental matters.

The story map focuses on the City’s CAP achievements by summarizing goals, strategies, accounting methods, and emission reductions. Interactive tables display the specific facility, status, and project details of each mitigation project, with recommendations given following the outcomes of the data collection. A section highlighting the effects of global climate change specific to The City of Homer is included, as well as local and global resources on climate change, environmental awareness, and sustainability.

Homer’s next steps include a community wide survey of greenhouse gas emissions, and a high school project aimed at strengthening youth voices in climate action conversations.
