Climate Plan for Hordaland 2010 – 2020Proposal Facilitate coordination of national, regional and municipal activity and provide a basis for decisions concerning use and protection of resources Annual Action programme The County Council has appointed a committee to prepare for the political decision 8th of June 2010

  4. Climate Plan for Hordaland - Aim A comprehensive plan with concrete measures Goals, strategies, objectives and measures for: • Mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions • Development of other energy sources • Adaption to climate changes + increase knowledge and competence on climate and energy and contribute to change in attitudes and actions

  5. Climate Plan for Hordaland - Content • Vision and Goals • Climate Change and Emissions 1 Co-operation and Tools 2 Energy 3 Consumption and Waste 4 Buildings 5 Land use and Transport 6 Business 7 Adaption to Climate Change

  6. Climate Plan for Hordaland – Proposal Theme 5 Land use – main goal: Land use in Hordaland shall be efficient (i.e. Intensive), reducing the need for travel, encouraging more environmentally friendly transport and avoiding to damage valuable natural resources Objective: Secure nature's own ability to store water and carbon Measures : Better planning, more efficient land use and development

  7. Theme 5 Land Use – Policy GuidelinesNeed to differentiate?

  8. Theme 7 Climate Adaption – main goal Hordaland shall be prepared for climate change. Climate adaptation shall be based on the precautionary principle, research and knowledge of local conditions

  9. Theme 7 Climate Adaption - strategies A Develop knowledge B Secure buildings, roads, other infrastructure and biodiversity C Adapt nature-based industries (farming, tourism) D Implement climate adaptation in public health and social conditions

  10. Strategy 7 A: Knowledge Development Objective 1: Climate Adaptation in Hordaland shall be based on relevant and updated knowledge Possible measures: • Regional research fund • Risk and vulnerability Analysis (ROS) • Climate vulnerability as a theme in municipal ROS-analysis • Climate changes and nature diversity

  11. Strategy 7 B: Buildings, infrastructure, biodiversity Objective 2: Existing public buildings and infrastructure shall be secured against negative effects of climate changes Objective 3: From 2013 new buildings and infrastructure shall be established in areas without known risk of negative effects from climate changes Objective 4 Minimize loss of biodiversity caused by climate change Possible measures: • Regional Guideline (prohibiting construction lower than 2 m above average water stand) • Climate Adaptation Strategies in municipal planning • Protection against landslides, flooding and sea level rise in the municipalities • Regional Sea-level rise Project

  12. Strategy 7 C: Nature-based industries Objective: Nature-based industries (agriculture, fisheries, aquaculture, renewable energy production and tourism), must prepare for climate change and make the necessary adjustments Challenge: Higher temperature, new species Possible measures: • Regional Development Programme - redirection • Evaluate current climate adaptation measures in the Hordaland Agriculture
