This is a mandatory emission reduction and emissions trading program launched in April 2010, and it covers approximately 1400 large facilities that consume energy of 1,500kL crude oil equivalent or more per year. It has an absolute cap of 6% for the first compliance period (FY2010-FY2014) and will have a 17% cap for the second compliance period (FY2015-FY2019). During the first compliance period, reduction obligation rate is 8% for the commercial sector including office buildings and 6% for the industrial sector including factories. The facilities can reduce emissions by themselves or acquire credits by trading to accomplish their obligations. Facility owners are required to submit their reduction plan and emissions report verified by the third-party verification agencies every year. This program has achieved 13% reduction in emissions in FY2010 and 23% reduction in FY2011. As an innovative GHG reduction program in city level, Tokyo Cap-and-trade program received "The Most Ground-breaking Policy Award" from the World Green Building Council in December 2011 and was nominated to a finalist of FT/Citi Ingenuity Award 2012 by the Financial Times and the Citibank Group. http://www.kankyo.metro.tokyo.jp/en/climate/cap_and_trade.html | (35.6896342°, 139.6921007°) | (36.204824°, 138.252924°) | |

Financing came from the federal KfW and the Berlin Modernizing and Maintenance Development Programme. Within this programme about €8 billion were invested from 1991 to 2001. Since 1990 the energy consumption of approximately 273,000 panelised building structures has been greatly reduced. Today, half of these residential units consume around 80 kilowatt hours per year and thus only half as much energy as in 1990. The heating structure has completely changed since 1990. In 1990 400,000 residential units still had coal-fired ovens. By 2005 this number was reduced to 60,000. At the same time the number of residential units using environmentally friendly natural gas for heating almost doubled. | (52.5200066°, 13.404954°) | (51.165691°, 10.451526°) | |

Electric cars have very low emissions of climate gases and are cheap to "refuel" but they are still hard to find in the Swedish market. We now have the help of climate-smart companies and organizations. Our procurement initiative makes it easier and faster to get electric cars and plug-in hybrids and provide better conditions. In the years 2010/2011, we established together with companies and organizations a test fleet of 50 electric cars. We have together with SKL Kommentus conducted a coordinated procurement of EVs and PHEVs. A total of 296 organizations and companies from across the country have registered their interest to buy 1250 electric vehicles per year over the next four years. Electric Vehicles in Urban Europe focuses on the development of integrated, sustainable strategies and dynamic leadership techniques for cities to promote the use of electric vehicles. Urban initiatives to encourage the public and business to use EV's will contribute to EU clean air and car fleets targets, making cities more attractive and competitive. EVUE will exchange and disseminate solutions to key barriers such as public resistance, lack of infrastructure, rapid technology change and obsolete economic modelling. | (59.3293235°, 18.0685808°) | (60.128161°, 18.643501°) | |

The ordinance is effective immediately. Vulnerable road users are defined as a walkers or runners; the physically disabled, such as someone in a wheelchair; a stranded motorist or passengers; highway construction, utility or maintenance workers; tow truck operators; cyclists; moped, motor-driven cycle and scooter drivers; or horseback riders. “As a city, we need to protect everyone and anyone who uses our roads,” said Mayor Annise Parker. “This ordinance will make our city even more attractive to those who want to enjoy traveling in forms other than by car.” In addition to requiring safe passing and trailing distances from vulnerable road users, this ordinance prohibits any motor vehicle occupant from throwing or projecting any object or substance at or against them. Similar ordinances have already been enacted by Austin, Fort Worth and San Antonio. The Safe Passing ordinance is another initiative, led and/or supported by Mayor Parker, to encourage more cycling in Houston. Others include the launch of Houston Bike Share, closing gaps in Houston’s bike trail system; the voter-approved Bayou Greenways initiative; and approval of HB200, which will allow Houston’s utility easements to be used for hike and bike trails. | (29.7601927°, -95.3693896°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | |

| 947 | City of Miami | 35870 | USA | Miami | 2014 | Other: Energy Demand in Buildings > Building codes and standards | Other | Energy Demand in Buildings > Building codes and standards | 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. Miami 21 instituted a number of programs for sustainability that were adopted into the Code of the City of Miami. Under Miami 21, the City Code requires all new buildings of more than 50,000 square feet of habitable Rooms and habitable Space in certain zones to be at a minimum certified as Silver by the USGBC LEED standards or equivalent standards adopted or approved by the City. Incentives exist for Gold and Platinum certification and also for properties below 50,000 square feet achieving LEED or equivalent certification. The initiatives require a fee payment schedule based on square footage of building: 50,000 - 100,000 sf = 2% of construction cost; 100,000 - 200,000 sf = 3% of construction cost; and > 200,000 sf = 4% of construction cost. The enforcement mechanism for this initiative is the issuance of a performance bond prior to City granting Certificate of Occupancy, if certification is not achieved. http://www.miami21.org | (25.7890972°, -80.2040435°) | (37.09024°, -95.712891°) | ||
