• Conclusions

Why Cities Matters?

• Cities are important engine for economic growth & socioeconomic development

• 50% of population living in cities (app. 3.2 billion)

• 75% of the world energy use accounted for cities

• 60% of the population will live in cities by 2030 (app. 5 billion)

Urban Energy Demand Energy Production

Rising GHG LevelsUrban Transportation

Cities: A part of the Problem

The Challenges

• Cities face major barriers to implement Climate Change Measures

• Cities often lack – the requisite information – supportive National Level Policies – access to financing, and other support

• Rigid procurement and Budgeting Policies

• High project development costs

• Public repayment concerns

• Limited awareness and expertise

Cities: A Part of the SolutionRenewable ,Energy Efficiency & Urban Planning

CCP – Multiple Benefits for LGs

• Reduce municipal operating costs

• Improve air quality

• Improve public health

• Reduce traffic congestion

• Develop local economy

• Create local green employment

• Improve quality of life

• Energy Security & Safeguards

ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability

Goal 1: Integrated sustainability policy

Goal 2: Resource-efficient city

Goal 3: Biodiversities securing ecosystem services

Goal 4: Low carbon and climate neutral cities

Goal 5: Resilient communities

Goal 6: Green infrastructure

Goal 8: Healthy & happy communities

Local Action Moves the World - USA

• US Mayors´ Climate Protection Agreement:

– Started in 2005, year of entry into force of Kyoto Protocol– Signed by 1051 nationwide– Endorse 7% GHG reduction by 2012, compared to 1990 – the commitment of

USA in the Kyoto Protocol

• ICLEI´s role

- More than 600 ICLEI member cities politically leading the agreement - More than 200 ICLEI member cities completed GHG inventory- Total reduction targets: 1.4 billion tons CO2eq by 2020- Developed tools, guidance and national protocol on local GHG emissions

Local Action Moves the World - Europe• EU Covenant of Mayors

– Launched by the Europoean Commission in 2007– 2,565 cities signed– Commit to reductions that exceed EU target of 20%

reduction by 2020– Preparation of Baseline Emissions Inventories &

Sustainable Energy Action Plans– UK Carbon Reduction Commitments Legislation, France

Bilancarbonne Tool

• ICLEI´s role

– Supporting Structure for cities– Developing tools and action planning guidance– Developed Copenhagen World Catalogue of Local

Climate Commitments – 3,500 cities worldwide– Supporting local government positions in UNFCCC

negotiations

Local Action Moves the World - China

• Low Carbon Cities Pilot Programme– Started by National Development and Reform Commission– Covers 5 provinces and 8 cities – Challenge of mega cities ( ~ 50-100 million inhabitants) – Plans to start city level emissions trading programmes– National Academy for Mayors Training

• Energy – Development – Climate

– Low carbon development – access to energy, combatting urban poverty – Mitigation through adaptation– Active support to local governments in UNFCCC negotiations

• ICLEI´s role– Sustainable Energy Planning Handbook– Key CDM projects in urban waste management

Local Action Moves the World - Africa

Local Action Moves the World - Oceania

• Leading federal action– Pivotal role in bringing Australia into Kyoto Protocol

• ICLEI´s role– ICLEI member cities cover 84% of population– 4.7 million ton CO2eq reduced in 2008

• Sustainable urban development

– Challenging urban air pollution & poverty through climate mitigation– Innovative mechanisms – Bus Rapid Transit, auctioning emissions

reductions– Urban forestry & biodiversity

• ICLEI´s role– Technical support for GHG inventories

Local Action Moves the World – Latin America

CCP in Southeast Asia

● CCP Philippines

- CCP participants has grown from 5 in 1999 to 14 in 2005- USAID, US EPA US DOE and CIDA supported

● CCP Indonesia

- launched in Nov 2001 in Java Island, in partnership with the National Cities League (APEKSI) & USAID

● CCP Thailand

–launched the Thai-CCP Campaign - 2002, –implementing agency - the Thailand Environment Institute (TEI). –support - CIDA.

Local Action Moves the World – South Asia

• CCP campaign• started in 2001 • 54 SA cities Carbon Emission Inventory• City/State Action Plans• State Level Guidelines on Urban Low carbon actions

• Local Renewables • City Energy (RE&EE) Policy• Action plans for RE & EE

Climate Adaptation – ICLEI’s Contribution

In Conclusion…

Local Governments (LGs) are showing utmost importance towards Climate Change

ICLEI supporting LGs in all the regions: - in preparation of their carbon emission inventories - as per LG GHG Protocol and - in reporting at International Stage

Request Taiwan LGs to join ICLEI’s movement

Taiwan LGs can become role models for other East Asian & Asian countries

Taiwan LGs, thus by support Sustainable Development
