Action Library for 2025
Use this library to move from insight to implementation. We prioritize actions with strong evidence, clear co-benefits, and realistic delivery paths in 2025. Whether you manage a city department, a business fleet, or a household budget, the steps below can cut emissions and strengthen resilience. Each card outlines the impact, cost range, and enabling policies. Pair these with our open datasets to measure baselines and track progress. When you’re ready for tailored guidance, our team can help sequence projects, estimate savings, and build stakeholder support. 🚀

Top actions with high impact
Building efficiency retrofit
Seal and insulate, upgrade HVAC to heat pumps, and deploy smart controls. Energy audits identify paybacks and rebate paths.
BuildingsCost: $$
Fleet electrification
Prioritize high-mileage routes and depot charging. Total cost of ownership often beats combustion when fuel and maintenance are included.
TransportCost: $$$
Heat resilience plans
Coordinate alerts, cooling access, and tree shade. Target support to outdoor workers, seniors, and neighborhoods with low canopy.
HealthCost: $
Flood risk management
Invest in drainage, nature-based buffers, and early buyouts in high-risk zones. Align insurance, zoning, and infrastructure timelines.
ResilienceCost: $$
Industrial efficiency
Electrify low-temperature heat, capture waste heat, and optimize processes. Plan pilots for green hydrogen where it adds unique value.

How we prioritize actions
Our prioritization balances impact, cost, and feasibility. We score actions by emissions reduction per dollar, health and equity benefits, and delivery risk. We also consider time-to-impact so quick wins aren’t blocked by long approvals. The result is a pragmatic roadmap that sequences foundational work such as data and permitting, followed by build-out phases and continuous improvement.
- Impact per dollar with clear uncertainty ranges
- Equity and health co-benefits included in scoring
- Time-to-impact and delivery risk factored in
Case study: City heat plan
A midsize city implemented a heat plan with targeted outreach, expanded tree canopy along transit corridors, and grants for high-efficiency cooling. Peak emergency visits dropped during subsequent heat waves, while energy bills fell for low-income households. The plan leveraged utility rebates, emergency funds, and corporate sponsors. Success hinged on cross-department coordination, clear communications, and data dashboards that tracked progress publicly.
