Or. Admin. Code § 635-900-0007 - Implementation of the Climate and Ocean Change Policy
(1) The Department should, as appropriate,
lead a coordinated, long term statewide response consistent with direction in
635-900-0010 (Statewide
Coordination of a Climate and Ocean Change Response) of this rule.
(2) The Department will integrate relevant
climate and ocean change monitoring and research needs into the planning,
prioritization, and implementation of the Department's science in accordance
with the Key Principles in
635-900-0015.
(3) The Department will incorporate the
relevant Key Principles in
635-900-0013 through
635-900-0020 into any new
Department plans or policies and will revise any existing plans or policies to
incorporate these principles as needed.
(4) The Department will apply the relevant
Key Principles in 635-900-0013 through
635-900-0020 when acting in a
consultation, regulatory, or advisory role and when prioritizing the use of
department resources.
(5) The
Department will develop a carbon reduction plan by 2022 that outlines how the
Department will reduce its own net carbon emissions, with the goal of being
carbon neutral by mid-century, through the construction, purchasing, and use of
energy-efficient facilities, structures, vehicles, and equipment and by
managing Department owned lands to sequester carbon. As a precursor to the
development of a plan, the Department should assess its carbon footprint within
a year from adoption of this policy and thereafter on a recurring basis not
longer than 5 years.
(6) The
Department will develop a communications strategy and coordinate with local and
regional partners to raise awareness of the impacts of climate and ocean
change, the steps the Department is taking to counteract and adapt to the
impacts on fish, wildlife and their habitats, and the value of resilient
natural areas for both fish and wildlife, clean air and water, recreational
opportunities, and the natural resource economy.
