<p style="text-align: center"><img alt="" src="~url~/uploads/image/climate-change_art.jpg" style="margin: 40px 0px 20px" /></p><p>HMP aids entities in identifying climate change related issues and developing comprehensive strategies to establish their environmental responsibility. We assess how entities will affect and be affected by climate change and develop an action plan for the future. The individual characteristics of each entity&rsquo;s or region&rsquo;s resource base, available technologies, financial constitution, and regulatory structure call for different strategies for dealing with climate change. A&nbsp;multi-pronged approach addresses energy efficient buildings, clean and renewable energy sources, resource conservation, improved transportation options, waste management, industrial pollution control, and other entity-specific concerns.</p><p>Some of the services offered under climate change solutions include:</p>
<ul>
	<li>
		<strong>Climate Action Plans</strong><br />
		Developing Climate Action Plans to delineate clear and achievable climate change reduction goals, targets, and performance metrics to address the main sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Climate Action Plans provide a framework to compare and analyze alternative policies and strategies in order to facilitate the decision-making process with regards to climate change. We follow best practices in climate change for establishment of GHG inventories, reduction policies, climate change indicators, implementation actions, and adaptation strategies for Climate Action Plans. Additionally, we ensure continual improvement, effectiveness, and appropriate levels of control in monitoring and reporting of the established climate change indicators and implementation of Climate Action Plans.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />

</ul>
<ul>
	<li>
		<strong>Climate Change Analysis for NEPA/CEQA Compliance</strong><br />
		Preparing climate change analysis and technical sections required for environmental documents such as Environmental Impact Study (EIS) and Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for projects subject to National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), respectively. We are involved in the development of guidelines, methodologies, thresholds of significance, and mitigation strategies for addressing GHG emissions and climate change ensuring regulatory compliance.<br />
