Low-emission cars are given incentives, while cars on the other end of the spectrum incur a penalty in the form of a registration surcharge. This encourages more consumers and companies to choose lower-emission car and taxi models. The rebate for taxis is set at 50% higher compared to cars as taxis generally clock higher mileage and thus typically emit more CO2 per year than cars. | (51.9055346°, 4.4742753°) | (1.352083°, 103.819836°) | |

The Environment Bureau released “A Food Waste and Yard Waste Plan for Hong Kong 2014-2011” in May 2014 that aim to reduce 40% of food waste disposal at landfills by 2022. Turning food waste to energy is one of the key backbone strategies adopted in the Plan. On this, the Government had commissioned a pilot composting plant in mid-2008 to gather experience and information and is planning to develop Organic Waste Treatment Facilities (OWTF) in phases to recycle food waste into compost and biogas as renewable energy. The first phase of Organic Waste Treatment Facilities (OWTF) which will handle 200 tonnes of food waste a day by biological treatment technology is planned to be in operation in 2016; tender preparatory work for the second phase of OWTF that would treat 300 tonnes of food waste each day is in progress; (c) The Integrated Waste Management Treatment Facilities that would adopt advance incineration technology to turn 3,000 tonnes of municipal solid waste into energy each day is planned to be commissioned in 2021/22; and (d) To reduce GHG generated from solid waste disposal, efforts have been made to use the methane content of landfill gas for towngas production and, where possible, for electricity generation and heat conversion for daily landfill operation. | (22.2880809°, 114.1398015°) | (22.396428°, 114.109497°) | |

Public transport is the most energy efficient mode of travel. Under the Land Transport Masterplan, Singapore targets to achieve a 70% public transport modal split by 2020, up from 59% in 2008. The capacity of the existing rail network will be significantly increased from around 175km today to about 360km by 2030 so as to increase its reach and accessibility. The Government is also working with public transport operators to increase the capacity of the public bus fleet by about 20% from 2012 to 2016, through an injection of around 800 buses. This will help to raise existing bus service levels significantly and provide better connectivity for the bus network, and encourage greater use of public transport. | (51.9055346°, 4.4742753°) | (1.352083°, 103.819836°) | |

It is noteworthy that at present only a few brands offer this type of cars in the City. It is expected that in the medium term, more choices will be available and prices will decrease; which will likely increase these vehicles sales. This, plus the tax benefit, the sale of these vehicles will boost. This action is another incentive the Government of the City of Buenos Aires in order to have a greener city. | (-34.6037232°, -58.3815931°) | (-38.416097°, -63.616672°) | |

| 886 | City of Miami | 35870 | USA | Miami | 2014 | Transport > Improve the accessibility to public transit systems | Transport | Improve the accessibility to public transit systems | The City has developed a number of initiatives to improve the accessibility to public transit systems. One recent effort was the 2012 launching of the City's free trolley system which of up to 28 diesel powered trolleys serving the busy hospital district and Little Havana neighborhood. Operation and maintenance of the trolleys are funded by federal Stimulus dollars and money from half-cent transit surtax funds. Additionally through its Capital Improvement and Planning Departments the City has instituted a number of projects and programs (funded via various public and private mechanisms) to increase bicycle infrastructure (bike lanes, parking etc.) throughout the City. Specifically, efforts have been undertaken and plans are in place to increase bicycle infrastructure around and leading to public transit hubs in the City. In 2010 the City launched its 'Miami 21' initiative which entails a holistic approach to land use and urban planning. Miami 21 will take into account all of the integral factors that will make each area within the City a unique, vibrant place to live, learn, work and play. Six elements serve as the lynchpins in the development of the blueprint of Miami: Zoning (Miami 21 Zoning Code), Economic Development, Historic Preservation, Parks and Open Spaces, Arts and Culture, and Transportation. Under Miami 21, several requirements have been adopted into the Code of the City of Miami to spur Transit Oriented Development (TOD). http://www.miami21.org | (25.7890972°, -80.2040435°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | ||
