A bit about ICLEI

• An international association of local governments
  dedicated to a sustainable urban environment
• Organized in 1990 under the sponsorship of the UN
  Environment Program and the International Union
  of Local Authorities
• 500 local government members from 6 continents
  and 50 countries
• Governed by and for members

3
Cities for Climate Protection CampaignTM

• Mission To build a worldwide movement of local
  governments who achieve measurable reductions in
  local greenhouse gas emissions, improve air
  quality, and enhance urban livability.
• Participation 500 municipalities worldwide
  representing 10 world GHG emissions
• Theme Climate action makes sense for cities
• Premise Cumulative local actions have a
  positive impact on global climate change.

Introducing HEAT.
The Harmonized Emissions Analysis Tool

• Online global database of emissions and action
  plans
• All sectors, from energy, waste, transportation.
• Standardized reporting for all cities
• Easy-to-use emissions calculators
• Multilingual
• Air pollution and GHG co-benefits analysis
• Local to global reporting
• Users get accounts all you need is a internet
  browser

14
HEATs Global Partnership

• Data Developers
• Bandung Institute of Technology Indonesia

• University of Cape Town South Africa
• CETESB, U of Rio/COPPE, Brazil

15
HEAT Quantification Tools
HEAT contains calculators to compute emission
mitigation options, e.g.,

• Energy efficiency
• Landfill gas capture (IPCC/EPA LandGEM)
• Fleet fuel switch
• Installing renewable energy
• Many others..

16
HEAT Framework

• User account database
• Emission inventories
• Action plans
• Local commitment tracking

• Emission Tools
• Inventory
• Measures

• Reporting
• User level
• National level
• Global level

Carbon offsets Cost savings Pollution benefits
17
Who will use HEAT?

• Local and State Governments
• Energy, transportation, land use, and waste
  planners
• Research community
• NGOs
• Anyone wishing to translate energy data into an
  emissions estimate

18
How to use HEAT

• Members Area Full access uses that can store
  track and report emission inventories and
  mitigation action plans for many years.
• Guest Access Support for the general public to
  use quantification calculators, and to evaluate
  the application.

Future for HEAT?

• This year development, next year deployment
• Hundreds of inventories and action plans online
• HEAT becomes premiere international repository
  for local energy and emissions data.
• Developing additional modules
• Carbon Asset Accounting
• Land use/carbon stock
• Sustainability indicators
• Vulnerability/Adaptation tools
• Develop dispersion link to World Bank SIM/BAQ
  model.

27
Local Renewables Model Communities Network Project

• A new initiative of ICLEI Local Governments
  for Sustainability
• Supported by BMZ with technical support form GTZ
  Germany
• Time frame November 2005 to October 2008
• Objectives
• - to promote generation and supply of RE
  and EE with a focus on the roles and
  responsibilities of local governments as the
  driving force for innovation and investment
• - to motivate and enable two/three local
  governments from India to anchor the development
  of RE sources in their municipal development
  strategies and to initiate related activities

28
Local Renewables Model Communities Network Project
Three complementary components of the project A
Model Communities - ICLEI will support
the development of two/three model communities
in India - The model communities will commit
to creating local policies to encourage - EE
the increased use of RE renewable energy -
Establish operate capacity centres -
demonstrate promote RE EE technologies -
provide information and advice - The model
communities will set examples encourage
additional municipalities to emulate their
progressive energy policies.
29
Local Renewables Model Communities Network Project

• Three complementary components of the project
  (Contd.)
• B Network
• ICLEI will facilitate the linkage of the
  two/three model communities in India with
  existing pilot cities in Africa, Europe, Latin
  America US through an international Network
• ICLEI will also link relevant academic
  institutes, NGOs, municipal and professional
  associations and international agencies to the
  Network
• C Replication
• - To ensure the LocalRenewables Network grows
  beyond India, ICLEI will design and fundraise for
  more model projects in additional countries

30
Impacts of the project

•  On the local level
• a reduction in the rate of growth of energy
  consumption
• improved access to lower-cost energy services
  for the urban poor
• a reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2)
  and other air pollutants
• a healthier, cheaper and more sustainable,
  secure and efficient energy supply.
•  Additional local benefits that the project will
  seek to provide include
• job creation and creation of opportunities for
  entrepreneurship
• reduced operating costs for municipally owned
  systems facilities from the utilization of RE
  sources and improvements in EE

31
Impacts of the project

• On a national and/or international level
• Cities and other entities that do not directly
  participate in the project will benefit from
• Establishment of a benchmark for other local
  governments national governments in the
  formulation and implementation of energy
  policies
• Increased demand for renewable energy
  technologies
• Reduced pressure on global environmental common
  goods
• Strengthened cooperation between local
  governments
• Showcases for more countries to start national
  model projects and
• Enriched technical knowledge that ICLEI can
  provide to further cities and actors.
