Finance
Potential funding sources will be actively pursed to enable ongoing implementation of the CCRP for
both emissions reduction and climate resilience. This includes investigating opportunities for
alternative revenue sources. This could include linking activities that occur locally and that derive
revenue within the community with delivery of real on-ground actions, such as Trees for Tourism in
the hinterland, other revenue for urban greening projects or revenue for science-based programs
that monitor long term environmental and climate risk using drone technology.
