Climate Equity DefinitionsMeeting Notes from May Meeting

Climate equity in San Antonio…• All people /communities• Equitable access / burdens• Resilience (outcome / informed by most impacted)• Policies• Evaluation• Community driven metrics

Working Definition Drafted from the May Meeting Notes

For San Antonio, “climate equity” ensures that all people equally benefit from climate solutions. This means that everyone has an opportunity to participate in climate change discussions and prosper from resiliency to climate risks like floods, droughts, and high temperatures. We believe that climate equity occurs when:• Leadership fosters mutual learning across all community groups• Policies are enacted to address the systems that perpetuate the un-equal burden of

climate impacts• Metrics that track and evaluate climate action and adaptation mitigate disparity and

provide transparency

Climate Equity Definitions

Updated Definition from Homework Feedback

For San Antonio, “climate equity” ensures that all people, regardless of where they live, work, and play have the opportunity to participate in climate change discussions and prosper from resilient solutions to climate risks like floods, droughts, and high temperatures. We believe that climate equity occurs when:• City leadership fosters mutual learning across all community stakeholder groups• Policies that are enacted and funding is distributed to transform the systems that

perpetuate the unequal burden of climate impacts• Community-selected metrics track and evaluate climate action and adaptation to

mitigate disparity and provide transparency
