1 CLIMATE COMPASS A novel way to assist local governments to rapidly set up a climate action programme Developed by the Climate Alliance of European Cities with Indigenous Rainforest Peoples Supported by the European Commission
2 Obstacles to local climate policy Costly studies and plans don t necessarily lead to decision-making and implementation Lack of knowledge about differences and overlaps of climate policy and clean air policy Lack of mainstreaming climate policy into the relevant departments
3 The Climate Compass Approach Start with process instead of detailed analysis Involve relevant policy-makers and staff Start with ongoing activities, reveal their relevance for climate change policy Apply Climate Compass tools to build upon 15 years of experience of local governments Concentrate on strategy, political process and immediate measures
4 Climate Compass Elements Process in three main leaps Initiated and guided by a Promoter involving local policy-makers and municipality staff (on-site advice) Climate Compass Compendium Climate Compass Compendium of policies & measures as the main tool to analyse current activity profile and define future policy
5 Climate Compass Promoters External experts (consultants, planners, engineers, environmental NGOs) who initiate and facilitate the Climate Compass process in the local government Training offered by the Climate Alliance Can be paid and sent by national or regional governments who wish to involve the local level

7 Compendium of Measures Example: Transport Ambition levels Themes and Tasks
8 Options to apply the Compendium Definition of minimum requirements for commitments, for funding, for quality labels etc. National or regional funding programmes Example: Dutch Convenant with municipalities Could be useful for any actors, if quantified commitments are difficult to define
9 Supporting Climate Compass Materials Measure Cards with detailed explanations on all measures, costs, steps for implementation Good Practice Case Studies detailed description of around 200 recommended no regret measures Data - Facts - Arguments (benefits, cost saving,...) Resources (web tools, checklists, decision-making tools)
10 1st Climate Compass Leap: Take stock of what is already there Use the Compendium for a Climate Scan of past and ongoing activities relevant for climate protection Raise awareness about the linkages between climate policy and other policies (clean air, energy & cost saving, avoid traffic congestion) Check for relevant existing plans (energy, transport etc.) and upcoming decisions to be taken (e.g. refurbishment of city hall, new housing area)
11 Climate Scan, based on CC Compendium For each field of action, mark the cells which best describe actual activities ENERGY A Define your energy policy and adopt targets B Institutionalise your energy policy C Use innovative financing schemes Step: 1: getting started 2: moving forward 3: forging ahead 4: taking the lead Define fundamental objectives of your energy policy Define responsibilities and allocate staff Inform yourself about national and European funding opportunities D Bring your own Check selected own facilities in terms of facilities up to scratch energy use and saving potentials Lay the ground for your energy policy, formulate the action programme Install cross-sectoral cooperation structures within the administration Identify first buildings for Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) Establish energy performance standards for municipal buildings Adopt detailed targets for individual sectors or subjects Involve municipally owned companies in the energy policy Analyse results of your first contract and potentials for enlargement to additional buildings Install an energy management system for all municipal buildings, including energy audits Adopt the target: 100% renewable! Install a local/regional energy agency Reform financial framework conditions to facilitate internal EPC and apply it to all public buildings Improve energy performance standards for public buildings For clarification, refer to the detailed descriptions E Become a model for sustainable energy use F Provide "green" public lighting G Support the implementation of renewable energy projects H Inform and involve the citizens Define a package of sustainable energy measures with low initial investment or very short pay-back time Analyse potentials for immediate savings in public lighting Generate a share of your municipality's electricity and/or heat demand in own RES plants Inform the citizens about your energy policy and give hints for own contributions Define a package of sustainable energy measures that require higher initial investments Formulate a public lighting policy plan focussing on energy efficiency Set up a land register for the potentials of RES use Install a local energy advice centre Purchase green electricity to supply a portion of your energy demand Purchase green electricity for public lighting Create an offer of green electricity for your citizens Organise targeted campaigns on energy efficiency Resolve upon the continuous progression of the share of green electricity Implement the policy plan and move forward to 100% Renewable Energy Sources (RES) target for your public lighting network Implement a long term action programme for RES and Combined Heat and Power generation (CHP) to achieve a 100 % community Mainstream energy in education and professional training Result: Your activity profile I Refurbish existing housing stock J Work on green office buildings Inform house-owners about the potentials to increase the energy efficiency of their building Promote your energy management system towards external companies Collect data and set up a land register for energy use in the housing stock Investigate and establish energy performance standards for offices Label the housing stock according to their energy efficiency and offer targeted advice and recommendations Set up demonstration projects Set up a loan programme for retrofitting the housing stock in terms of energy efficiency Establish energy forums and offer energy performance services
12 2nd Climate Compass Leap: Explore Options for Action Discuss possible priority areas, and actions to be taken in these areas Identify connections to existing commitments and plans (e.g. LA21, Energy Plan) Try to find out weak points, and motivate participants to look at these areas Find a balance between strengthening the strong points, and tackling the weak points
13 Strategising, based on CC Compendium Mark the cells where you intent to be more active Again, refer to detailed descriptions and case studies Result: Your future activity profile, input for decision-makers ENERGY A Define your energy policy and adopt targets B Institutionalise your energy policy C Use innovative financing schemes Step: 1: getting started 2: moving forward 3: forging ahead 4: taking the lead Define fundamental objectives of your energy policy Define responsibilities and allocate staff Inform yourself about national and European funding opportunities D Bring your own Check selected own facilities in terms of facilities up to scratch energy use and saving potentials E Become a model for sustainable energy use F Provide "green" public lighting G Support the implementation of renewable energy projects H Inform and involve the citizens I Refurbish existing housing stock J Work on green office buildings Define a package of sustainable energy measures with low initial investment or very short pay-back time Analyse potentials for immediate savings in public lighting Generate a share of your municipality's electricity and/or heat demand in own RES plants Inform the citizens about your energy policy and give hints for own contributions Inform house-owners about the potentials to increase the energy efficiency of their building Promote your energy management system towards external companies Lay the ground for your energy policy, formulate the action programme Install cross-sectoral cooperation structures within the administration Identify first buildings for Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) Establish energy performance standards for municipal buildings Define a package of sustainable energy measures that require higher initial investments Formulate a public lighting policy plan focussing on energy efficiency Set up a land register for the potentials of RES use Install a local energy advice centre Collect data and set up a land register for energy use in the housing stock Investigate and establish energy performance standards for offices Adopt detailed targets for individual sectors or subjects Involve municipally owned companies in the energy policy Analyse results of your first contract and potentials for enlargement to additional buildings Install an energy management system for all municipal buildings, including energy audits Purchase green electricity to supply a portion of your energy demand Purchase green electricity for public lighting Create an offer of green electricity for your citizens Organise targeted campaigns on energy efficiency Label the housing stock according to their energy efficiency and offer targeted advice and recommendations Set up demonstration projects Adopt the target: 100% renewable! Install a local/regional energy agency Reform financial framework conditions to facilitate internal EPC and apply it to all public buildings Improve energy performance standards for public buildings Resolve upon the continuous progression of the share of green electricity Implement the policy plan and move forward to 100% Renewable Energy Sources (RES) target for your public lighting network Implement a long term action programme for RES and Combined Heat and Power generation (CHP) to achieve a 100 % community Mainstream energy in education and professional training Set up a loan programme for retrofitting the housing stock in terms of energy efficiency Establish energy forums and offer energy performance services
14 3rd Climate Compass Leap: Define Strategy Agree on new activity profile Agree on priority measures which can be simple for beginners Agree on next steps! Identify core group to coordinate activities Clarify requirement for further input from experts
15 Next Steps Consultation of stakeholders (energy and transport companies, citizens groups) Adoption of the programme Prepare implementation (detailed measures, responsibilities and cooordination, allocation of time and money) Prepare monitoring (indicators, data, reporting format and frequency) Prepare systematic plan during the implementation of first policies & measures
16 Perspectives of the Climate Compass Inclusion of adaptation measures (EU Interreg IIIc Project AMICA) Modification of the Compendium to allow application in other regions Training of promoters in these regions Promoters can be sent by national or regional governments who wish to involve the local level Involving local governments would help to meet Kyoto targets and future commitments at relatively low cost, with large ancillary benefits!
