ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability (ICLEI):• International network that advances local sustainability. • Members: 1,220 cities, towns, counties and their associations from 70 countries – representing 569,885,000 people. • ICLEI regional and national offices: work through Campaigns, Initiatives and Projects, e.g. ICLEI Europe and E4M project. • Global climate advocacy: coordinates Local Government advocacy toward United Nations, e.g. Commission on Sustainable Development (UNCSD), Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).• Focus: quality, standards, practical support, working closely with local governments and their partners.• Our motto: “Local action moves the world”.

Introducing ICLEI EuropeIntroducing ICLEI Europe

Supporting Structures (SSt) of the Covenant of Mayors assist and guide local governments (LGs) during the planning and implementation of their SEAPs.

Different types: Type I (sub-national government, energy agencies) and Type II (networks) – different approaches and needs?

E4M survey was conducted in 2010 to:

• Identify and analyse existing support offeredexisting support offered by SSt

• Identify potential good practice potential good practice and replicable methodologies

• Identify SSt needs SSt needs

Nearly 40% response out of 78 SSt from: Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Croatia, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Lithuania, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Ukraine, and UK.

Needs of Supporting StructuresNeeds of Supporting Structures

Typical roles of SStTypical roles of SSt

TECHNICAL SUPPORT:– Offered by all SSt.

– > 70% of SSt give support to LG to elaborate their SEAP and BEI.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT: – Only provided by Type I .

– Both types of SSt can help LGs to find funds and financial support from 3rd parties.

– Mainly to develop SEAP or BEI, not that much to monitor SEAP.

Supported by

ORGANISATION: – Technical committees (Type I SSt) and in steering committees (Type II SSt).– All have regular meetings with LGs.– Less than have half small teams working with every LG.

FUNDS: – Many SSt (82%) work with own funds.– 43% also have external funds.

Methodologies to develop SEAPsMethodologies to develop SEAPs

METHODOLOGY:

– 40% of SSt have specific methodology (often available online)

– Rest apply CoMO methodology

– Generally adapted to local or regional characteristics

– >50% of SSt have developed supporting materials or tools for LGs.

BASELINE YEAR FOR SEAP AND BEI:

– SSt recommend to use 1990 (as indicated by the CoMO) but 26% of SSt methodologies use this year

– More recent years (from 2005 up to 2009) are commonly adopted due to lack of data from previous years

– Almost all methodologies use 2020, as year mandated by CoMO, as time horizon of SEAPs.

Methodologies to develop SEAPsMethodologies to develop SEAPsPHASES COVERED BY THE METHODOLOGY

• Majority of methodologies considering all the following phases:

– Starting up (e.g. political commitement, goals, resources, etc.)

– Assessment (e.g. Baseline Emission Inventory)

– Targeting setting

– SEAP development

– SEAP implementation

– SEAP monitoring and evaluation

– Participation processes

– Communication campaign

• Around 20% of methodologies do not include some of these phases: targeting setting, some or any tasks related with SEAPs, participation processes or communication campaigns.

SECTORS COVERED BY METHODOLOGIES :

• When developing SEAP or BEI: almost all include the building sector and transport, and all renewable energy sources and distributed energy generation.

• Around 30% exclude public procurement, urban and land use planning, and information and communication technologies.

Methodologies to develop SEAPsMethodologies to develop SEAPsBASELINE EMISSION INVENTORIES (BEIs)

– 68% of methodologies include BEI development

– BEI topics: predominance of topics that municipalities are in charge of.

– Almost all SSt use standard emission factors in line with IPCC. Life-cycle assessment emission factors are the less utilised (by 20% of the SSt). Some SSt use others.

– About GHGs measured in the BEI, the majority of SSt (68%) only include CO2 emissions. Others work with CO2 equivalent.

Problems & Needs of SStProblems & Needs of SStNEEDS

– Main needs: financial support (especially to implement actions, to develop and monitor SEAP)

– Technical support and tools are also required particularly to address needs of SSt.

– Type II SSt have more needs than Type I SSt in involving municipalities to join the CoM, and for monitoring and reporting.
