1. Background As a result of urbanization and improved living standards, energy consumption in the civilian and

transportation sectors has increased rapidly in the APEC region. In order to address these community-wide challenges, it is not sufficient to take measures just targeting buildings, but needed to promote the introduction of low-carbon technology, improve energy efficiency and reduce the use of fossil fuels at the community level. For this purpose, Japan launched the ‘APEC Low-Carbon Model Town (LCMT) Project’ in 2010.

2. Three Pillars of the Project （１） Formulating the Concept of APEC Low-Carbon Town Define low-carbon town in the APEC region Formulate the Concept of APEC Low-Carbon Town and Low-Carbon Town Indicator Dispatch an APEC official liaison to ISO/TC268 in order to develop international standards on low-carbon towns

（２） Conducting Feasibility Study (F/S) Develop low-carbon strategies for selected towns

（３） Policy Review Policy review to realize low-carbon town development conducted by an expert group

1. Overview of APEC Low-Carbon Model Town Project

プレゼンター


This slide explain the background and three pillars of the project for the APEC Low-Carbon Model Town Project. Japan launched the APEC Low-Carbon Model Town Project in 2010. Because we need to promote the introduction of low-carbon technology, improve energy efficiency and reduce the use of fossil fuels at the community level. It is the background. Next, I explain the Three Pillars of the Project. First, Formulating the concept of APEC Low-Carbon Town, which means We need to define low-carbon town in the APEC region, and Formulate the Concept of APEC Low-Carbon Town and Low-Carbon Town Indicator. Lastly dispatch an APEC official liaison to ISO/TC268 in order to develop international standards on low-carbon towns. Second, Conducting Feasibility Study (F/S), which means We will develop low-carbon strategies for selected towns. and third, Policy Review, we need to review policy to realize low-carbon town development conducted by an expert group

2. APEC LCMT Task Force Meeting

プレゼンター


9th Meeting of the APEC LCMT Task Force (LCMT-TF9) was held here in the ”Hilton Gyeongju” the day before yester day. On that occasion, we reported Summary of the F/S and Policy Review for San Borja, Peru, Phase 4 project, and Summary of Site Visit to Australia, NZ and Chile, and Progress of the F/S for Bitung City, Indonesia and Progress of the development of Low-Carbon Indicator So, we agreed Future plan of the LCMT Project. Lastly, we discussed Next step of the LCMT Project.

The proposed, additional 22 LCMs across all five design categories will help San Borja to exceed its 15%* reduction target by 2021, and achieve reductions below its 2012 baseline by 2035.

＊Low carbon plan, San Borja 2021

These expected reduction results and the sustainability outcomes by the proposal will position San Borja to help Lima Province bring the LCMT approach to scale across the other 42 municipalities within Lima.

Performance indicators and progress metrics, robust GHG performance management, and a plan for climate resilience are essential to making a compelling business case for public and private investment and financing for LCM implementation.

Key Findings of Feasibility Study for San Borja, Peru

6 experts and 5 AEPRC staffs as a member of Study Group B visited San Borja January 2015 for Policy Review.

The Study Group B Team made 50 recommendations in 7 section. Policy Review Report will be finalized soon.

Site Visits to Australia, NZ and Chile to: Revise the Fourth Edition of the ‘Concept of the Low-Carbon Town in

the APEC Region’ Refine and determine the applicability of the ‘APEC Low-Carbon

Town Indicators’ (LCT-I) Cover all sectors, but address, in particular, industrial development

and post-industrial areas

Next steps: Synthesize the experts’ findings Incorporate findings into the ‘Concept’ and the LCT-I including

industry and regulatory chapter Revise and re-edit the ‘Concept’ Publish the Fifth Edition of the Concept in the fourth quarter of 2015

on APERC’s website

Mr. Michi Kohno, as a Liaison Officer (LO) of APEC, participated in ISO TC268/WG2 meetings (June 8-12 in Grasmere, UK).

The LO introduced APEC Low-Carbon Town Indicators. The LO also expressed APEC’s intentions to work with ISO to establish

low-carbon city indicators as one of sub-sets of ISO 37120, a global standard.

Next Steps: (1) Submission of proposal to meetings in October (2) Two-month In-Committee Ballot for approval (3) Launch of Project Team for Low-Carbon City Indicators

APEC Low-Carbon Indicator toward global standard

LCMT Project so far A wide range of towns have been dealt with through the F/S.

Phase 1: Central Business Districts (CBD) Phase 2: Rural Resort Area Development Phase 3: Redeveloping mixed-use urban districts Phase 4: Residential areas Phase 5: Industrial areas Phase 6: A low-carbon development plan in cooperation with neighboring cities

The Concept of APEC Low-Carbon Town (LCT) has already refined four times. The LCT Indicator will be integrated into international standard (ISO).

DISCUSS how to disseminate the LCT

ENTER next stage in the end of 2016

6. Next Stage of LCMT Project

These are the projects we had so far and the projects we will have soon. A wide range of towns have been dealt with through the F/S. Phase1 is Central Business Districts (CBD), Phase2 is Rural Resort Area Development Phase3 is Redeveloping mixed-use urban districts Phase4 is Residential areas, Phase5 is Industrial areas and Project 6 will be A low-carbon development plan in cooperation with neighboring cities The Concept of APEC Low-Carbon Town (LCT) has already refined four times. The LCT Indicator will be integrated into international standard (ISO). Now, it’s time for disseminating LCT in the APEC region. For example, It is might Self-diagnosis based on the LCT Indicator also, we might need to Follow-up meetings (participants: government, experts, international institutions) maybe we might need APEC Low-Carbon Town Award program and we might need In-depth F/S We would like to discuss how to disseminate the LCT.
