...The report suggests a number of ways in which the greater Fresno community could adapt to or mitigate the effects of climate change, including the following:
• Reduce water consumption, especially from aesthetic uses such as landscaping
• Increase the area’s ability to capture, store and retrieve water from less frequent and more intense precipitation events
• Develop crop contingency plans in case changing temperature and precipitation regimes reduce the viability of current, major crops supporting our economy
• Support the Fresno Green Building Program and expand it where possible into retrofit and renovation projects
• Support compact growth and New Urbanism principles
• Develop green jobs
• Showcase green technologies and green communities in the Fresno area
• Develop a long-term sustainability research and development program with local educational institutions
