1 How BCN faces climate change? Intrepid School Irma Ventayol 14 February

2 INTRODUCTION 1. It is real and caused by humanity 2. It is happening now 3. It is urgent to act, and acting makes a difference 4. It is unfair: it affects to everybody, but not in the same way 5. It is complex 6. We are working Politicians debating global warming. Isaac Cordal 2

3 WHAT IS CLIMATE CHANGE? 3

4 IT S REAL AND CAUSED BY HUMANITY 4

5 PARIS AGREEMENT Goals AMBITIOUS GOAL BUT NON-BINDING Do not increase average temperature > 2ºC compared to preindustrial levels. Make all efforts to not arrive at 1,5ºC That means reduce emissions between 80-90% in To take adaptation measures also 5

6 PARIS AGREEMENT Why 1,5ºC? 6

7 IT S HAPPENING NOW 7

8 IT S URGENT TO ACT, AND ACTING MAKES THE DIFFERENCE París Temperature average: - RCP 4.5: 1,6ºC ( ) to 1,7ºC ( ) - RCP 8.5: 2ºC ( ) - 3º C ( ). Precipitation: - RCP 8.5, -14% ( ) to - 26% ( ) 8

9 IT S UNFAIR 10 COUNTRIES ARE RESPONSSIBLE FOR 72% OF THE EMISSIONS CITIES ARE SPECIALLY VULNERABLES 80% PIB MOTOR ECONÒMIC SUBMINISTRAMENT DE SERVEIS 85% població (2050) 75% emissions de CO2 PART DEL PROBLEMA I DE LA SOLUCIÓ PART OF THE PROBLEM AND THE SOLUTION 9

10 IT S UNFAIR Heat wave exposition Map Vulnerability to Heat Map, considering: Population > 70 years old Energy behavior Buidling current state Green infrastructure presence FONT: Barcelona Regional 10

11 IT S COMPLEX Governance: big challenge Facing climate change requires a paradigmatic change in governance that involves: Long term vs short politcal cycles Managing uncertainty Incorporate risk management planning Cross-cutting Competences: multilevel Global challenge: no territorial boundaries Working culture 11

12 IT S COMPLEX Governance: big challenge The Stacey Matrix 12

13 IT S COMPLEX Governance: big challenge GLOBAL CO2 EMISSIONS C02 EMISSIONS IN BARCELONA Tractament de RSU 8,9% Altres 0,5% Port i Aeroport 10,9% Industrial 14,5% Transports 26,5% Domèstic 21,4% Comercial i serveis 17,3% 13

14 IT S COMPLEX Governance: big challenge Spain: 19 autonomous communities and cities. Barcelona Catalonia: 4 provinces 900 municipalities Barcelona: 1 big metropolitan area (3,5 million people) 1 big city (1,6 million people) 10 districts, 73 neighborhoods City Council: buildings employees 14

15 IT S COMPLEX Governance: what have we done so far? ORGANISATION STRUCTURE Urban Ecology, Resilience dptm. Steering Comittee and 3 working groups TRAINING AND EMPOWERMENT MANAGING INFORMATION Resilience Platform Centre of operations INNOVATION City networks Research Social innovation 15

16 IT S COMPLEX Governance: what have we done so far? URBAN RESILIENCE BOARDS. Creation of a working methodology enhancing stakeholder engagement and cross-sectorial coordination (2009) 8 working groups 20 entities including different administrations and private sector 70 professionals involved 20 ongoing projects (11 of them completed and periodically updated) 16

17 WE ARE WORKING City Model Behaviour Responsible consumption Builgings Mobility Facilities FV ACS National Pact for energy transition Compensation Vulnerable people atention NBS Sufficiency Efficiency Renewal and local energy generation Compensation Adaptation SAVE MITIGATE 17

18 WE ARE WORKING To secure water supply WATER CONSUMPTION REDUCTION: Awareness raising campaigns, minimization of distribution losses and municipal consumption SECURITY OF SUPPLY: plan for the use of alternative water resources; desalinization plant, tank connection DROUGHT MANAGEMENT : emergency plans FLOOD MANAGEMENT: Water retention tanks ( m3 working); sustainable drainage systems COASTAL MANAGEMENT: beach stabilization 18

19 WE ARE WORKING To secure energy supply PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT: Energy, Climate change, and Air Quality Plan; Municipal building energy improvement plan SECURITY OF SUPPLY: solar and thermal ordinance, DHC, system redundancy improvement INCIDENT MANAGEMENT: Interdependency actuation protocols 19

20 WE ARE WORKING To increase the green socioenvironmental services and preserve biodiversity MANAGEMENT AND PLANNING: Green Infrastructure and Biodiversity Plan KNOWLEDGE IMPROVEMENT: cobenefits ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES OF GREEN AREA INFRASTRUCTURE STRENGTHENING: Green corridors, roofs and walls BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION: Vulnerable sp. 20

21 WE ARE WORKING To prevent and support people s health HEAT WAVES: Action plan to prevent the effects of heatwaves on health (POCS) VECTOR BORNe DISEASE: Aedes albopictus HEAT ISLAND EFFECT EXTREME WEATHER EFFECTS AIR POLLUTION and ALLORGENES WATER QUALITY 21

22 WE ARE WORKING CITIZEN ACTION: BCN COMMITMENT TO THE CLIMATE GOVERNANCE (PONÈNCIA, GT, TISUS) MITIGATION ADAPTATION / RESILIENCE ENERGY ACCESS 22

23 WE ARE WORKING BARCELONA S COMMITMENT TO THE CLIMATE Road map

24 WE ARE WORKING BARCELONA S COMMITMENT TO THE CLIMATE Road map

25 WE ARE WORKING BARCELONA S COMMITMENT TO THE CLIMATE Road map
