Technical Committee Charter

Provides guidance to Planning Group regarding all technical issues
Identifies resources appropriate for literature review
Assists in data collection (primarily via GIS) and provides information on 1) ways to integrate greenhouse gas emission mitigation measures into scenarios and 2) climate change effects and impacts such as:
- Effects
  - Primary focus - Degree of potential sea level rise, storm surges, and coastal flooding
  - Secondary focus - Degree of other effects related to climate change, such as potential temperature, precipitation changes, groundwater salinization, etc.
- Impacts
  - Primary focus - Potential impacts on transportation infrastructure including bridges, roadways, and parking lots
  - Secondary focus - Potential impacts on other development (buildings, water and sewer, etc.)
Provides input into the desired targets, or end goals, for scenarios with regard to climate change emissions and other outcomes
Provides input into the crafting of development scenarios for Cape Cod
- Inform greenhouse gas emission estimates
- Attend half-day workshop
- Review and inform results
Communicates results and interim findings to state, regional, and local agencies and other stakeholders
Helps integrate results into constituent agencies' long- and short-range plans
