A bit about ICLEI

An international association of local governments dedicated to a sustainable urban environmentOrganized in 1990 under the sponsorship of the UN Environment Program and the International Union of Local Authorities500+ local government members from 6 continents and 50+ countriesGoverned by and for members

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 emissionsTheme: Climate action makes sense for citiesPremise:Cumulative local actions have a positive impact on global climate change.

What ICLEI Provides

ICLEI: International Development Programs

Local energy and waste governance– CCP (Cities for Climate Protection campaign)– PEPS– Ecobudget

Water campaignTransportation, measures implementationExchanges and peer transferMeeting facilitation (COP, WSSD, etc)

USAID Support History

Mexico and Philippines, 1999India/Indonesia, 2001South Africa, 2001HEAT software development, 2004– India, Indonesia, South Africa and Brazil

CCP Philippines

Launched in 199916 local government members

– combined population of more than 5 million– interest from many additional localities and provinces

60+ projects implemented– 40,000+ tons of GHG emission reductions achieved– $7.5 million in annual cost savings achieved

More than a dozen projects in the pipeline– can leverage ICLEI’s work on water governance

CCP Indonesia

Begun in 2001 with 5 cities; 10 members in 2005– more than 6.5 million inhabitants

26 projects initiated– over US$ 4 million in domestic investment leveraged– 500,000+ tons of eCO2 avoided per year (mostly from new

composting programs diverting waste from dumps)– annual savings approaching US$ 1 million

20+ projects in the pipeline– tremendous interest in waste-to-biogas projects– substantial support for BRT from Jakarta’s experience

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…..

Who will use HEAT?

Local and State GovernmentsEnergy, transportation, land use, and waste plannersResearch communityNGOsAnyone wishing to translate energy data into an emissions estimate

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 onlineHEAT 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.

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

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.

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

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

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.
