1. Cities for Climate Protection® Campaign Kim Lundgren Director, Northeast Regional Capacity Center ICLEI- Local Governments for Sustainability US Office UN Commission on Sustainable Development- CSD 14 May 4, 2006

2. A bit about ICLEI • An international association of local governments dedicated to a sustainable urban environment • Organized in 1990 under the sponsorship of the UN Environment Program and the International Union of Local Authorities • 500+ local government members from 6 continents and 50+ countries • Governed by and for members

3. Cities for Climate Protection CampaignTM • Mission: To build a worldwide movement of local governments who achieve measurable reductions in local greenhouse gas emissions, improve air quality, and enhance urban livability. • Participation: 500+ municipalities worldwide representing 10% world GHG emissions • Theme: Climate action makes sense for cities • Premise:Cumulative local actions have a positive impact on global climate change.

4. The Big Numbers Demographics World Population: 6 Billion World Urban Population: 2.8 Billion Population of CCP Participants: 243.2 Million Number of CCP Participants: 546 Emissions & Savings Annual World Urban Emissions: 9.15 Billion tons of eCO2* Annual Emissions from CCP Participants: 1.85 Billion tons of eCO2* Percentage of World Urban Emissions from CCP Participants: 20% Estimated Annual Emissions Reduced by CCP Participants: 60 Million tons of eCO2* Estimated Annual USD Saved by CCP Participants: $2.1 Billion*

5. CCP Milestones • Conduct an emissions inventory • Set emissions reduction target • Develop Climate Action Plan to meet target • Implement Local Action Plan • Monitor and report on progress

6. Multiple Benefits for Local Governments • Reduce municipal operating costs • Improve air quality • Improve public health • Reduce traffic congestion • Develop local economy • Create local employment • Improve quality of life • Energy Security & Safeguards

11. CCP Indonesia • Begun in 2001 with 5 cities; 10 members in 2005 • more than 6.5 million inhabitants • 26 projects initiated • over US$ 4 million in domestic investment leveraged • 500,000+ tons of eCO2 avoided per year (mostly from new composting programs diverting waste from dumps) • annual savings approaching US$ 1 million • 20+ projects in the pipeline • tremendous interest in waste-to-biogas projects • substantial support for BRT from Jakarta’s experience

12. CCP India • Growth from 7 cities to 16, and demand is increasing • 10 projects implemented: focus energy efficiency • Energy Saved - 4 Million Kwh • Carbon Emissions Reduced - 4000 T / Yr • Potential of 125597 T/Yr and $$ Savings: $6,563,177 • USD 3+ million leveraged domestic investment • 1 million non-USAID ODA investment

13. Introducing HEAT. • Online global database of emissions and action plans • All sectors, from energy, waste, transportation. • Standardized reporting for all cities • Easy-to-use emissions calculators • Multilingual • Air pollution and GHG co-benefits analysis • Local to global reporting • Users get accounts: all you need is a internet browser The Harmonized Emissions Analysis Tool

14. HEAT’s Global Partnership Data Developers • Bandung Institute of Technology: Indonesia • Bajaj Auto: India • University of Cape Town: South Africa • CETESB, U of Rio/COPPE, Brazil

15. HEAT Quantification Tools HEAT contains calculators to compute emission mitigation options, e.g., • Energy efficiency • Landfill gas capture (IPCC/EPA LandGEM) • Fleet fuel switch • Installing renewable energy • Many others…..

16. HEAT Framework • User account database • Emission inventories • Action plans • Local commitment tracking • Emission Tools • Inventory • Measures • Reporting • User level • National level • Global level Carbon offsets Cost savings Pollution benefits

17. Who will use HEAT? • Local and State Governments • Energy, transportation, land use, and waste planners • Research community • NGOs • Anyone wishing to translate energy data into an emissions estimate

18. How to use HEAT Members Area: Full access uses that can store track and report emission inventories and mitigation action plans for many years. Guest Access: Support for the general public to use quantification calculators, and to evaluate the application.

26. Future for HEAT? • This year development, next year deployment… • Hundreds of inventories and action plans online • HEAT becomes premiere international repository for local energy and emissions data. • Developing additional modules: • Carbon Asset Accounting • Land use/carbon stock • Sustainability indicators • Vulnerability/Adaptation tools • Develop dispersion link to World Bank SIM/BAQ model.

27. Local Renewables Model Communities Network Project • A new initiative of ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability • Supported by BMZ with technical support form GTZ Germany • Time frame : November 2005 to October 2008 • Objectives: • - to promote generation and supply of RE and EE with a focus on the roles and responsibilities of local governments as the driving force for innovation and investment • - to motivate and enable two/three local governments from India to anchor the development of RE sources in their municipal development strategies and to initiate related activities

28. Local Renewables Model Communities Network Project Three complementary components of the project: A: Model Communities: - ICLEI will support the development of two/three “model” communities in India - The model communities will commit to creating local policies to encourage - EE & the increased use of RE renewable energy - Establish & operate capacity centres: - demonstrate & promote RE & EE technologies - provide information and advice - The model communities will set examples & encourage additional municipalities to emulate their progressive energy policies.

29. Local Renewables Model Communities Network Project • Three complementary components of the project (Contd.): • B: Network: • ICLEI will facilitate the linkage of the two/three model communities in India with existing pilot cities in Africa, Europe, Latin America & US through an international Network • ICLEI will also link relevant academic institutes, NGOs, municipal and professional associations and international agencies to the Network • C:Replication: • - To ensure the LocalRenewables Network grows beyond India, ICLEI will design and fundraise for more model projects in additional countries

30. Impacts of the project • On the local level: • a reduction in the rate of growth of energy consumption; • improved access to lower-cost energy services for the urban poor; • a reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other air pollutants; • a healthier, cheaper and more sustainable, secure and efficient energy supply. • Additional local benefits that the project will seek to provide include: • job creation and creation of opportunities for entrepreneurship • reduced operating costs for municipally owned systems & facilities from the utilization of RE sources and improvements in EE

31. Impacts of the project • On a national and/or international level: • Cities and other entities that do not directly participate in the project will benefit from: • Establishment of a benchmark for other local governments & national governments in the formulation and implementation of energy policies; • Increased demand for renewable energy technologies; • Reduced pressure on global environmental common goods; • Strengthened cooperation between local governments; • Showcases for more countries to start national model projects; and • Enriched technical knowledge that ICLEI can provide to further cities and actors.

32. Activity Plan- Model Communities • Phase I (completed) • Selection of project cities • Phase II 2006 • Establishing Renewable Energy Resource Center in the selected cities • Create Stakeholder Group • Identification and Collaboration with Private Partners • Formulating RE Targets for the cities (By December) • Organize an Awareness Campaign (In July) • Replication • Identifying and liaising with other Local Governments, Govt./Semi Govt research Institutions Private companies & housing companies in the region

33. Activity Plan- Model Communities • Phase II 2007 • Finalising the City RE/EE Policy and its formal adoption by City Council (By May) • Implementation of Local Renewable Policy/ Projects (May-September) • Launch pilot projects and monitor results • Network Business plans for specific measures developed by ICLEI (October-December) • Replication in Indian Cities • Outlining ways in which national governments, local governments, investors and other actors can be linked to the project • Phase II 2008 • Revision of Local Renewable Policy document and targets for city (By June) • Efforts for reaching at least 5 goals of Local RE Policy (By July) • Establish links between all stakeholders

34.
