The challenge for Municipalities
Municipalities and Climate Change Climate Change shows up on local level
by 2030, two thirds of humanity will live in urban centres
where more than 75% of all energy is consumed today
cities are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate
change, especially fast-growing cities in developing
countries local government is the sphere of government closest to
citizens

Up to 20% of global CO2 emissions comesfrom forest destruction and degradation
Indigenous territories can contribute to rainforest protection

The Climate Alliance Commitments
To cut CO2 emissions by 10 % every 5 years
To halve per capita emissions (baseline year
1990) at the latest by 2030
To aim at a sustainable level of 2,5 tons CO2equivalent emissions per capita and year by
energy saving, energy efficiency and the use of
renewable energy sources
To abstain from timber derived fromdestructive logging
To co-operate with Indigenous Peoples

LA as Consumer
The Local Authority has responsibilities for the energy consumption on own buildings
(3-10 % of total energy consumption of the city)
its vehicle fleet
the management of municipally owned lands and forests
its procurement system, catering, etc.

The Local Authority can offer awareness raising activities as part of their consumer
protection and environmental responsibilities.
Energy and mobility advice for citizens
Campaigns which illustrate benefits of a certain action,
create a feeling of community and motivation
Education/training for certain occupational groups like
architects, planners or craftsmen
Themselves as a partner, in LA21 processes, round tables,forums with the objective to set up climate action plans, to
agree with investors on energy standards for a new
development, a new public system, etc...

Climate Scan
An inventory of implemented and planned
measures (assisted by national
networks);
An officer from each city / region will visitanother partner and assess the way the
cities are progressing towards mitigation
of climate change;
The performance of the city will bediscussed by the peer review teams
with local staff.

Outputs
a report that identifies the measures that
can be recommended for implementation
by the local authority to achieve furtherprogress;
stimulate at least 3 additional
implemented measures per city.

We need a strong post 2012 Agreement
Global warming must remain under 2C
We need empowerment of LGs in this Agreement
Cities and towns are part of the problem and of the solution:
therefore cities must be empowered, resourced and receive a clear
mandate as a guarantee for success to achieve the objectives of the
post 2012 agreement
Mobilise leadership on local climate action - because:
