3 Working with communities on urban sustainability ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability International network that advances local sustainability. Established in 1990 in New York by cities, for cities. Members: 1,500+ cities, towns, counties and their associations from 70 countries representing ±600 million people.
4 ICLEI Europe Focus on local sustainable development ICLEI Europe: Regional office based in Freiburg, dealing with 40+ countries in wider Europe (also supported by ICLEI Brussels office). We engage in: conducting advocacy (global / European / national level), running campaigns (e.g. GreenClimateCities programme), coordinator and partner in projects, offering services including capacity building Covenant of Mayors Supporter ICLEI Europe is a unique European network, linked to a global network, addressing standards, develops protocols and tools, offers advice to municipalities and their partners.
5 The starting point (I) Cities and regions have a stake in the energy transition Europe has ±500 million inhabitants, with +100,000 local governments (LGs). Rising energy costs Air pollution Urban poverty New infrastructure requirements (eg transport) Rising global emissions levels leading to severe threats from local climatic impacts Local impact on climate change (GHGs). Local impact of climate change (storms, flooding, drought).
6 The starting point (II) Local (and sub-national) action moves the world Wide ranging responsibilities: Community administrators (policy, regulations) Service providers (education, health, owners / managers of infrastructure) Leaders (provide direction, set example, motivate), stimulate economy Options to shape processes / efficiency / energy use: Staff, citizens, business, industry Electricity, heating, cooling Buildings, urban planning Transport, waste and water

12 At Global Level ICLEI
13 Local governments are moving ahead
14 Committing at Global level Cities are central in tackling climate change. They are proving grounds for our efforts in ensuring a low carbon future that benefits people and the planet - Ban Ki-moon, United Nations Secretary General at the Cities Day, COP19 Warsaw
15 Local Government Climate Roadmap ICLEI is Focal point for LGMA at UNFCCC a legacy of decades of action, 10 years of intensive global advocacy
16 The recognition - COP23 - PARIS 2015 ICLEI
17 Advancing Paris Climate Agreement Through Ambitious and Trasformative Local and Subnational Action Engaging all levels of governments in raising ambition and accelerating action to pursue 1.5 o C goal and climate neutrality around mid-century in an Urban World 1. Raising Global Ambitions 2. Strengthening National Contributions 3. Accelerating Local and Subnational Actions 4. Engaging in Global Exchange and Knowledge Development
18 Local and regional governments lead the way SUPPORTING EU CLIMATE AND ENERGY VISION
19 Local and regional governments lead the way THE COVENANT OF MAYORS 7,200+ signatory cities, Incl signatories to the new Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy ca. 360 regions, provinces, associations, local & regional energy agencies 35+ Associated Partners 5,600+ Action Plans developed... average CO 2 -emission reduction of about 27% by 2020 ICLEI
20 Joining Forces THE GLOBAL COVENANT OF MAYORS FOR CLIMATE AND ENERGY The joining of these two forces will create the broadest global coalition committed to climate leadership, building on the commitment of 7, 400+ cities from six continents and 119 countries representing more than 600 million residents
21
22 Vision We envision a world where committed mayors and local governments in alliance with partners accelerate ambitious, measurable climate and energy initiatives that lead to an inclusive, just, lowemission and climate resilient future, helping to meet and exceed the Paris agreement objectives. Mission The Global Covenant of Mayors serves cities and local governments by mobilizing and supporting ambitious, measurable, planned climate and energy action in their communities by working with city/regional networks, national governments and other partners to achieve our vision

24 At Local Level ICLEI
25 Output & extraction ICLEI Acting at Local level A sustainable city is: Society (Individual needs, quality of life & well-being) inclusive Economic processes smart Natural resources & Ecosystem services (Natural common goods) efficient
26 What is your vision for urban development? ICLEI
27 From air pollution to clean energies and clean air
28 From Congestion and pollution To efficient, clean and healthy mobility and transport services
29 From grey infrastructure only to a mix with quality green infrastructure and ecosystem services
30 Integrated sustainable urban development Use of Solar Energy Energy efficient construction Economic use of space and land Shadow islands Ventilation Cool air generation Public transport District heating & cooling Source: City of ICLEI 2017 Freiburg
31 Integrated approaches! GCC Europe Phases and steps 3x3x3 STEP methodology dedicated to local governemnts for : analysis, planning, implementation, monitoring and reporting On climate mitigation and adaptation
32 Many actors have to put their pieces in the right place - good governance and management can make it work! ICLEI
33 Creating added value Others Urban air quality Urban livelihood Sustainable Food Safe and resilient energy supply Sustainable Housing Access to energy Sustainable Mobility Local jobs Water/ Sanitation Public Health Healthy ecosystems Green urban economy Gender Equality
34 Challenges for the transition unsynchronised cycles of planning, decision-making & investment traditional governance & management culture lack of technical expertise and knowledge lack of business cases and examples difficult access to financing traditional investors and beneficiaries in the sector vs. new actors and beneficiaries public procurement criteria
35 Opportunities from the transition improved awareness transparency and control on natural resources, climate change and sustainability new infrastructure as a trigger for sustainable innovation and new markets improved quality of the environment social inclusion and economic opportunities Contribution to a sustainable and resilient economy creation of new opportunities for investments and profits increased trust in governance
36 Key factors for a successful transition clear long-term goals and vision a solid analysis of potentials and opportunities consequent alignment of plans and investments with the goals and vision a good regulatory framework and favourable market conditions for sustainable infrastructure new infrastructure as a trigger for sustainable innovation and new markets
