Integrating Climate Action Planning with National Level Ambitions 12 December 2018 Jiwon Lee, Ranell Dedicatoria
In the next 20 minutes… ‐ Project evolution of Ambitious City Promises ‐ Project achievements through the lens of MLG ‐ Key insights in developing inclusive and ambitious climate action plan for low emission development
• Call for ambitious targets beyond the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) agreed in Paris Agreement • In a rapidly urbanizing world, local governments and their communities play a pivotal role in tackling climate change and advancing sustainability in cities To hold the increase of global average temperature to 1.5 ° C… • Needs for… • Ambitious climate actions • Mainstreaming of Low Emission Development Strategies • Capacitating local governments • Engaging relevant stakeholders
• Many Southeast Asian countries are experiencing unprecedented economic growth and urbanization urban challenges & significant increase of greenhouse gas emissions • All project countries committed to reducing their GHG emissions through (I)NDCs and outlined that their ambition can be increased with international supports . Indonesia: 29% 41 % (from BAU by • 2030) • The Philippines: 70% (from BAU by 2030) Vietnam: 8% 25% (from BAU by 2030) •
• Full title: Ambitious City Promises: Commitments for low-carbon urban development in Southeast Asian large cities • Funded by the Federal Ministry for Project at a glance the Environment, Nature Conservation, and Nuclear Safety of Germany (BMU) through its International Climate Initiative (IKI) program • Duration: January 2017 – June 2020
• The Promise of Seoul was launched at ICLEI World Congress 2015 by Seoul Metropolitan Government • Ambitious and comprehensive strategy and climate action plan to reduce 20 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 Drawing inspiration from The plan includes 11 pledges that cover all • Promise of Seoul areas of climate change, from energy to urban agriculture • The 10 million Seoul citizens played a vital and active role in shaping the action plan and making their own pledges to reduce GHG emissions
Progress Source: Seoul Metropolitan Government, 2017
20% of Seoul’s reduction target is derived from citizens’ action
In ‐ country consultations to facilitate capacity building, policy advice and Consultation / implementation technology transfer provided by ICLEI, SMG and the project advisory group New or improved comprehensive greenhouse gas emissions inventories Concrete climate action plans – called City Promises – that set ambitious targets and integrate community pledges Initial implementation of City Promises through pilot projects
Public outreach to actively engage city residents and key local climate engagement stakeholders Citizen Platforms to collect pledges from key stakeholders including businesses and households Learning and cooperation opportunities with the Seoul Metropolitan Outreach Government and other peer cities International reporting aggregated city plans, actions and achievements via the carbon n Climate Registry (cCR)
