Equitable Engagement for Seattle City Light’s Climate Adaptation Plan Update
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Seattle City Light hired Broadview Planning to lead an extensive engagement process associated with updating the utility’s Climate Adaptation Plan. The level of engagement provided by Broadview Planning was the first of its kind for the utility. After conducting staff interviews and internal workshops to identify the vulnerabilities of the existing Plan and collecting feedback on a range of climate adaptation strategies, Broadview Planning launched an external engagement process focused on gathering input from historically underrepresented communities and businesses. Working with a range of local partners, Broadview Planning provided tailored outreach to key stakeholder groups and initiated focused conversations that elevated multiple, critical perspectives on the impacts of climate change.
