Carbon Disclosure Project

C40 Cities to jointly disclose their Carbon inventories in a standardised wayC40 Cities have access to commercial carbon calculator in order to measure and tackle Carbon emissions

Key Benefits are that cities can measure emissions, develop reduction strategies and set targets to reduce emissions

26 global suppliers – 1000+ products

Buildings, transport, waste management and lighting

Negotiated price ceilings

5% to 40% discounts off prevailing pricesPrice ceilings based on growing and predictable sales volumes

Procurement – Purchasing Alliance

Best Practice and Policy

“We can all be pioneers, but we will get things done a lot quicker if we steal each

others ideas!”

Ken Livingstone

Transportation

Hybrid bus test programmes

Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) systems

Cycle networks

Demand-side management programmes

Partnering with technical expert groups

Waste

Integrated and advanced waste management systems:

Capture and utilisation of methane from landfills to generate renewable energyRecycling of household, construction and demolition wasteUse of organic waste to produce biogas and fertiliserDelhi, Mumbai, Houston, London, Lagos, Mexico City, Hanoi and Jakarta

Methane emitted from landfills represents 12% global methane emissions

750 million tons of carbon dioxide

Lighting

LED street lighting – up to 70% reduction energy useLED traffic lights – up to 90% reduction

Los AngelesGreen Street Lighting Programme – launched February 2009

Replace 140,000 streetlights with LED units

40% energy savings

Reducing CO2 emissions by 40,500 tons - equivalent to taking 6,700 cars off the road

Save $10 million annually

Sao Paulo and Beyond

New Chairman – Mayor BloombergNew Strategy

- continue to advance existing initiatives while simultaneously broadening the C40 agenda. - encourage C40 cities to cooperate more directly and closely with one another.

Page 22: C40 - How Cities Are Taking Action On Climate Change · 2011. 3. 10. · Carbon Disclosure Project C40 Cities to jointly disclose their Carbon inventories in a standardised way C40

Way ForwardContinue current initiatives; Promote direct city-city contacts in sub-networks, including regional networks;Focus on new initiatives that are roll-outs of existing efforts within leading cities, building upon what cities are doing themselves; andEmbed technical advice in sub-networks, as support to networks of cities talking to each other
