Facing the climate challenge -

Hamburg’s approach to sustainable development and smart growth

Peter Lindlahr The City of Hamburg Head of the Coordination

Center for Climate Issues

3

Germany’s second largest city and one of 16 federal stateswith a population of 1.7 M in the city and more than 4 M in the metropolitan areaSecond largest port & aviation technology center in Europe Green city on the waterside (40 % green and water spaces)Rich variety in the metropolitan region (14 counties)Annual CO2-emissions will decrease by 2 M tons within 5 years as compared to now(almost -30% p.c. since 1990) as laid out in the recently launched Climate Action Plan, which provides an extra funding of 25 M Euro for the year 2008

Who we are, and where we come from – a brief introduction…

Our criteria of success for “Good Governance”

Hamburg stands for well-balanced centralized / decentralized decision-making The Hamburg concept considers ecological efforts as a transversal task, and turns it into job generation in engineering and manufacturing businessesEnergy savings need feasable incentives (e.g., the 50/50-program: schools reducing their energy consumption keep 50% of the monetary savings) The Hamburg approach is a two-folded strategy of subsidies and regulation. It provides a substantial project funding to stimulate the market, while at the same time the Hamburg state government establishes specific codes (e.g., green building standards)

Mobility

The major tasks are to …

develop public transport through an integrated conceptfor the bus- and metro-system:common schedule - common tariff- common ticketingextend the regional approach for the overall traffic management plan

speed up the implementation of advanced engine technologies

establish green ICT in traffic management systems

Best Practice in smart transportation:

Zero Emission Public Transport - The Hamburg fuel cell concept

Fuel-cell powered hydrogen buses are 100% environmentally compatible and operate at low noise emission rates

HOCHBAHN operates nine fuel cell powered buses in the regular daily inner-city traffic thus constituting the largest hydrogen powered bus fleet in the world

12

Advanced Urban Planning

The major tasks are to …

establish criteria for sustainable planning in development plans and building permitscreate urbanity and urban structure with a inspiring mix of public spaces, new districts with residential and office usage, places of consumption, institutions and networks, cultural and entertainment facilities and a dense grid of walkways and cyclepathsextend spatial conversion (brown fields – harbour, railway, industrial, etc.)

17

Clean Energy Issues

The major tasks are to …

implement Carbon Capture Storage increase the percentage of renewables in the regional energy mix support zero-emission technologies like fuel cell or hybrid establish mandatory standards on energy efficiency in buildings start or extend Eco Partnerships (“economy meets ecology”)

18

Adaptation and mitigation efforts to combat climate change

The major tasks are to …

launch programs with well defined projects and measures, such as the Hamburg Climate Action Plan (170 projects within 5 years)

start capacity building in R&D and applied sciences

establish city networks on adaptation issues (e.g., urban flood management) and focus on climate change on a regional scale
