ICLEI used ClearPath in Compliance with the Community Protocol. ICLEI gave a baseline of major emissions to show how they are increasing and decreasing over the three year timeline. The Vulnerability Assessment identified impacts and the areas most vulnerable to climate change as well as actionable next steps for the community. ICLEI also conducted a resilience plan that also highlighted actionable steps to follow. In this part of the plan, ICLEI added human induced vulnerabilities to make it compliant with the needs for a LEED Cities certification.
