.\,�, Greenhouse Gas Reduction and Climate Adaptation Actions to O ' : ' of Hawal'! Build Local Resilience to Climate Change *��►�� �V Climate Action Co-Benefits Climate co-benefits describe the potential for actions to achieve multiple outcomes. In order to realize a co-benefit, each action must be planned, designed, and implemented with a conscious consideration of co-benefits. Co-Benefit Action Number Do Preserving and restoring coral reef systems preserves corals 2C1.1, 2C1.2, 2C1.3 0 9 9 as a source of carbon sequestration. Greenhouse Gas • Increasing tree canopy to reduce ambient temperature Reduction increases carbon sinks. 2A1, 2A2 • Increasing tree canopy and green infrastructure in areas ? c experiencing flooding and sea level rise will help absorb the excess water. 2A1, 2A2, 2C2 Climate Risk • Preserving and restoring reefs provides natural protection from Reduction high waves and inundation. • Restoring and preserving coral reefs preserves the cultural 2C1, 2C2 resources associated with reefs. • Greening urban areas and developing climate-resilient energy systems increases the availability of cool areas for vulnerable 2A1, 2A2, 2A3, 2B1 Socio-Cultural populations, such as kupuna and keiki, to live and recreate. Equity • Increasing equitable resilience to climate hazards will benefit historically marginalized and frontline communities and All actions communities that have been made vulnerable to climate change impacts. • Increasing urban forestry can create corridors for species to migrate, so they can survive reductions in their natural habitat 2A2.1, 2A2.2, 2A2.3, 2A2.4 Environmental caused by development. Protection • Preserving and protecting coral reefs preserves the industries 2C1, 2C2 that rely on reefs, such as fishing.
