The ThriveTogether Sustainability Playbook for Greater Cincinnati features a series of Implementation Measures for the community called the Priority Climate Action Plan.

This table of strategies was compiled from the direct input of shareholders in the region, gathered primarily on the Go Vocal platform.

With a diverse and varied region, robust public engagement is the central mechanism that formulates the planning and implementation process.

Proposed Implementation Measures for Water from the Priority Climate Action Plan include:

1. Create a local Green Hub to increase coordination and provide for more effective recycling, reuse, and organic waste diversion.
2. Capture methane from wastewater treatment facilities and use it to generate electricity to help offset the power needs of the facility.
3. Provide access to recycling service / containers at multi-family buildings.
4. Explicitly label food options' energy intensity.
5. Work with local soil and water utilities to create landscapes that manage increased rain events.
6. Increase wetland protection and restoration.
