1 North Rhine-Westphalia s climate protection policy Alexandra Landsberg Ministerium für Klimaschutz, Umwelt, Landwirtschaft, Natur- und Verbraucherschutz Nordrhein-Westfalen Düsseldorf, 22. Juni 2015

2 North Rhine-Westfalia Energy Supplier No. 1 Germany s most populous federal state: 17.8 million inhabitants GDP: 599,8 billion (Germany No. 1, worldwide No.19) 150 million consumer within a radius of 500 km Source: EnergieDaten.NRW 2013 Energy sector in NRW (2012) 95% of German hard coal production 53% of German lignite production ca. 1,1 Mio. employees, in renewable energies ca MW installed power generation capacity ca. 1/3 of german power generation 70% coal, 90% fossil, 8% renewables ~300 Mio. t/a CO 2 -emissions per capita emissions: 16 t CO 2 /Jahr

3 Greenhouse gas emissions 2012 world EU-28 NRW GHG-emissions in M t CO 2eq in 2012 Worldwide anthropogenic GHG-emissions: ca. 49 billion tons CO 2 -equivalent (2010)

4 Climate protection in NRW the government s role 1. Pariticipate in shaping framework conditions on federal and EU level; e.g. by initiatives in Bundesrat (Federal Council of Germany) 2. Consulting and promotion of climate protection initiatives by citizens, busnisses or cities and communities 3. Setting good examples: Conceptualize climate neutral administration and academia

5 Pillars of climate policy in NRW Climate Protection Starting Programme Climate Protection Act Climate Protection Plan

6 Contents Climate Protection Act Launched in 2013 Purpose: Objectives ( 3) Legal framework for elaboration, implementation and evaluation of climate protection and adapation measures Setting goals for Climate Protection Green House Gas reductions in NRW (compared to 1990) at least 25% by 2020 (D: 40%, EU: 20/30%) at least 80% by 2050 (D: 80%, EU: 80%) Expansion of renewable energies, resource and energy efficiency, energy conservation Limit negative climate change impacts through adaptation measures Goals to be achieved through the drafting of a Climate Protection Plan ( 6)

7 Climate Protection Act Climate Protection Plan: 6 Climate Protection Act : The government drafts a climate protection plan under full participation of societal groups as well as head organizations of cities and communities. The plan will be enacted by the parliament. Unique participation concept!

8 Why participation? Integration of expert know-how Maximize transparency Acceptance of results and implementation Create new cooperations

9 Overview: The dialogue and participation process Conception Phase Expert working groups (WG) Climate Protection WG 1: Energy WG 2: Industry WG 3: Construction WG 4: Transport WG 5: Agriculture WG 6: Private Households Climate Adaption WG 1: Education/Information WG 2: Rural Areas WG 3: Industry WG 4: Urban Spaces Proposals for field of actions, strategies and measures Climate Conference Advisory board (stakeholders) Scientific supervision Parliamental sub-committee Differentiation & Networking Phase Participation of the public Online Participation Congress for local communities Congress for companies/businesses Workshops for cititzens Workshops for regions within NRW Recommendations State government drafts Climate Protection Plan Plan is passed by the Landtag

12 Successful climate protection only works in collaboration with citizens, buisness companies and local communities.

13 Draft Climate Protection Plan - contents Climate Protection is common task Total of 54 strategies and 154 measures in climate protection Total of 16 fields of action and 66 measures in climate change adaptation Scope of measures: short term (2020), strategies long term 2050 Focus: consulting- and promotional measures Advice for spatial planning First concept for climate neutral state administration 2030

14 Focal points of activity Climate Protection Plan NRW 1. Wind sun water biomass: NRW turns renewable 2. Storages grids intelligent management: NRW backs decentral technologies and system solutions 3. Electricity meets heat: NRW gets top efficiency country no. 1! 4. Leap into a new industrial age: Industry and businesses as partners for energy transition in NRW 5. Go for efficiency in buildings and construction: strengthening energy efficient retrofits 6. Climate friendly and mobil: succeeding mobility transition in NRW 7. Beyond energy supply: climate compatible agriculture 8. Climate protection at home: more efficiency and less wasting in your house 9. Role model: Climate neutral state administration until Making NRW (extreme-)weatherproof: Adaptation to non-avoidable effects of Climate Change

15 4. Leap into a new industrial age: Industry and businesses as partners for energy transition in NRW Reference project: Low-Carbon-Center Creating impulses for Low-Carbon-Technologies in a mutual approach of science and economy State government sets up network for activities in research by industries, science, business organization, capital markets and economy Mutual work on Low-Carbon-Technology-solutions as well as corresponding organizational, business and financing models Nucleus for a virtual Ressource-University Network of excellence for business companies in implementing Low- Carbon-Technologies Strengthening NRW as innovative industry location

16 Next steps First Draft Climate Protection Plan passes Cabinett Hearing of unions and associations Second draft Climate Protection Plan passes Cabinett Climate Protection Plan is transferred to NRW-Parliament ( Landtag ) Decision by Landtag Conducting first measures Monitoring depicts proceedings in implementation of measures with appropriate indicators (e.a. CO2-abatement) Effectivity and efficiency of the plan will be constantly checked, among other things by keeping up dialogue with stakeholders, expert advisory board Climate Protection NRW Updating Climate Protection Plan every five years We re only at the beginning! Climate Plan process as continuing task and learning system!
