AAAL GOALS AND STRATEGIES <br /> HET-r-, M, \ E E , • ,/ W U IJ I T Y <br /> Living in a green community contributes to an <br /> improved quality of life by providing a range of " <br /> benefits for residents, including improved health <br /> and wellbeing, increased morale, and cleaner air. <br /> There is a mental health aspect to walking the <br /> streets lined with old growth trees and having 'N o <br /> access to a connectivity of open space. Additional <br /> community benefits include sheltering us from ' <br /> the intense rays of the sun, cooling temperatures, <br /> providing resilience to flooding, and using the <br /> carbon sequestration benefits that trees provide. <br /> Climate change has refocused our attention on <br /> providing a way of living that places people's long f _ �• <br /> term needs as a core value. These projects also <br /> indirectly reduce GHG emissions. <br /> CO-BENEFITS KEY 00 <br /> 000 <br /> GHG COST• COMMUNITY EFFECTS ON ALIGNMENT WITH EQUITY& <br /> REDUCTION EFFECTIVENESS BENEFITS THE ECONOMY STATE/LOCAL CLIMATE JUSTICE <br /> POLICIES <br /> 2023 CLIMATE ACTION PLAN ORANGE COUNTY,NORTH CAROLINA 59 <br />
