CONTRIBUTION OF CITIES TO CLIMATE CHANGE

� Cities cover less than 1% of the earth's surface but are disproportionately responsible for causing climate change.

� Currently, around 50 % of the world’s population live in cities (set to reach 60 per cent by 2030).

� Yet cities and urban areas consume some 75 % of the world's energy and are responsible for up to 75 % of greenhouse gas emissions.

CARBON FOOTPRINT OF DELHI

• A Study on “Inventorization of Green House gases – Sources & Sinks in Delhi” has been carried out by Delhi University.

• This study covers different emission sources namely, transportation, industrial, residential, commercial, and power plants.

• Estimated CO2 emission from Delhi is around 15.42 million metric Tons.

• Estimated CO2 emission from Delhi is around 15.42 million metric Tons.

SOURCES OF GHG EMISSIONS IN DELHI

� ROAD TRANSPORT SECTOR:

CO2 emission for the year 2007-08 is estimated to be 7.66 MMT using the top-down approach, whereas using the bottom-up approach it was estimated to be 8.17 MMT.

� POWER SECTOR:

Delhi has fiver thermal power plants (TPP) which serve as a major point source of CO2 emissions in the city. The total CO2 emission from these thermal plants in the year 2007-2008 was 9.76 MMT

� DOMESTIC SECTOR

Pollution from domestic sector is mainly due to use of kerosene, LPG, diesel (DG sets) and huge consumption of electricity. Average CO2 emission from domestic sector of Delhi in the year 2007-08 was 5.35 MMT

� INDUSTRIAL SECTOR

CO2 emission from the industries of Delhi was 1.37 MMT

� COMMERCIAL SECTOR

Estimated CO2 emissions from commercial sector of Delhi were 1.87 MMT with power consumption alone contributing 1.69 MMT. Contribution from the combustion of fossil fuel in the DG sets was 0.177 MMT.

� SOLID WASTE SECTOR

Presently the solid waste is being dumped at three landfill sites which fall under the category of uncontrolled disposal facilities and have no gas recovery systems in place. Landfill gas generation comprises mainly of methane which has a global warming potential of21.

CLIMATE CHANGE AGENDA FOR DELHI 2009-12

� It broadly follows the NAPCC except two aspects of Himalayan Ecosystem and Agriculture and is adapted to urban challenges of Delhi as an emerging global metropolis.

� Much of Climate Change debate relates to reduction of Green House Gases CO2 in particular in many sectors and improving environmental accountability of planners and implementers to create a new planning method based on practical experience.

� The Climate Change Agenda for Delhi 2009-12 by the Government of NCT of Delhi put forth several action items that the Government intends to undertake in the coming years.

DELHI’S EXPERIENCE SO FAR

Delhi has done a lot but not focused it adequately. This document does so and also integrates 20 departments in the process of mitigating climate change impacts due to growing urbanisation upto 2021. Today 55% of Delhi is urban and by 2021 85% will be urban.
