As of July 2020, Central Government has signaled its plan to address this through a series of building code updates that specifically focus on climate change, starting October 2021. Wellington City Council will be actively engaged in the consultation process, along with developing an internal best-practice guide for our own buildings. As part of our Implementation Plan for our Te Atakura Blueprint, we have identified and measured specific actions that have a potential GHG per annum at 2030, including the development of a new District Plan, addressing existing house energy inefficient through our Home Energy Saver programme expansion, and starting a new pilot programme focused on helping small/medium businesses reduce their energy via a Business Energy Saver programme. | Pre-feasibility study status | 210400 | 2019 | {"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[174.776, -41.2865]} | 2021-07-16T02:19:09.367 | |||||||

Departments and agencies are to replace plastic water bottles with glasses or water jugs, to stop using plastic wraps for sauces, and to refrain from providing plastic plates, cups, cutlery and straw; as well as providing water dispensers. Civil servants as well visitors are urged to bring reusable food containers, cutlery and straws for personal use and to use woven bags to store food and beverages bought from the cafeteria. This regulation would be enforced at the state secretariat building, departments and agencies such as the Land and District Office, state statutory bodies, local councils as well as subsidiaries under the state administration.Soon, hypermarkets and supermarkets in the state will not be allowed to keep the 20 sen that they charge per plastic bag. Instead, the state government, through the local councils, would channel it into a special fund. The plastic bag charge is actually intended to be used by retailers to conduct programmes centred around corporate social responsibility, tree planting or producing recyclable shopping bags to be given out to the consumers. However, not many have done so. Consequently, local councils are entrusted to keep track of the sales of plastic bags through a code that was keyed in at the payment counters. The council would then collect the profits directly instead of the outlets to be channeled into a government fund. In return for the council’s efforts, the money will then be distributed back to the local councils where they are to use it to carry out corporate social responsibility programmes and those that will benefit the people. The effectiveness of this proposed mechanism of this new format is still being studied. Working papers are being prepared and it will subsequently be brought to the state executive councilor’s meeting for discussion and subsequent implementation at the end of 2019. Further dialogues would be held to educate and engage hypermarket and supermarket operators on this format so that they would be cooperative when the new policy came into force.In addition, Selangor state departments and agencies including Shah Alam City Council have also been directed to halt single-use straws from today, in line with Malaysia’s Roadmap Towards Zero Single-use Plastics 2018-2030 that was approved by the Federal government.It is important that people in Selangor do their part in protecting the environment. Considering that, Selangor has a population of 3.2 million, and if everyone uses a plastic straw every day, that figure will come to about 100 million monthly. This is of course a huge quantity where the Selangor State government wishes to reduce its use, because the plastic straw will end up in rivers, drains, landfills and the sea. In beach clean-up efforts, 99 per cent of waste are plastic straws. Therefore, it is high time that consumers are made aware of this and assist in reducing pollution. | Finance secured | Local | 671200 | 2019 | 2021-07-16T02:19:09.367 | ||||||||||

The Township was awarded a $350,000 grant under Act 101, Section 902, Recycling Program Development and Implementation Grants. Such grants reimburse counties and municipalities 90 percent of eligible recycling program development and implementation expenses. The money will be used for the purchase of two recycling vehicles.Under the same Act 101, but Section 904 Recycling Performance Grant Program, the Township was awarded a grant in the amount of $385,649 for its recycling efforts. The grant award is based on the amount of recyclables that the Township is able to divert from the waste stream through its recycling efforts. Through Abington Township’s Hybrid Pay as You Throw Program, the Public Works Department recycled 15,800 tons of material and more than 16,000 tons of leaf and yard waste which was converted into compost.The Hybrid Pay as You Throw Program is a diversified refuse and recycling program that provides stable revenue to cover the cost of trash and recycling services, while at the same time providing environmental sustainability by effectively promoting waste reduction and being economically fair to all residents. It also offers an incentive to reduce costs, decrease solid waste tonnage, increase recycling, and conserve natural resources.Abington Township’s Public Works Department’s Recycling program turns materials that most assuredly would become part of a landfill into useable resources. By curbside separation and collection of all the paper products and commingled glass, aluminum and plastic and taking them to a resource facility, Abington Township generates monetary, environmental, and community returns.The Public Works Department provides a comprehensive collection, disposal and recycling service to the residents of Abington Township at the most inexpensive cost possible. Its employees supply a dependable, expedient and courteous collection of trash and recyclables to over 18,000 residences and 150 commercial customers on a weekly basis.The most innovative and unique aspect of the system is that Abington Township made the Refuse Division budget into an enterprise fund wherein all revenue and costs come from one budget and in which all profits are carried from year to year. The money that is saved through the Hybrid Pay as You Throw recycling program is returned to the residents in stabilized refuse fees.There has been no downside to the enterprise fund, as it funds all of our recycling programs. All costs associated with the program come from the enterprise fund and no money comes from property revenue. This is after Township trash disposal costs have increased over 35% in the last 11 years. The award of these grants is a direct result of resident and business participation in the Township’s recycling programs.

A cycling master plan is being implemented to propose continuous and secure routes.- Electrical mobility Plan: definition of the objectives in the field of electric mobility and of an action plan.- Administrative travel plan of the local communities (12,000 employees): voluntary community program without regulatory imperative, to encourage the use of public transport for business and commuting, the use of bicycles, develop collaborative workspace, optimize the use and the eco-management of the fleet of vehicles etc.- Collaborative workspaces development: Métropole Nice Côte d'Azur wants to promote the emergence of collaborative workspaces in its territory in order to reduce GHG emissions due to commuting. | Feasibility finalized, and finance partially secured | Local | 540000 | 2016 | {"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[7.26195, 43.7102]} | 2021-07-16T02:19:09.367 | ||||||
| 10077 | 2020 | 54360 | Shah Alam City Council | Malaysia | Southeast Asia and Oceania | public | MYR Malaysian Ringgit | Waste > Waste prevention policies and programs | No single use plastic and no plastic straw campaign | Education | Implementation | Projected lifetime | The Selangor state government will also ban the use of plastics at its functions and offices in line with Malaysia’s Roadmap Towards Zero Single-use Plastics 2018-2030 that was approved by the cabinet at the federal level. Departments and agencies are to replace plastic water bottles with glasses or water jugs, to stop using plastic wraps for sauces, and to refrain from providing plastic plates, cups, cutlery and straw; as well as providing water dispensers. Civil servants as well visitors are urged to bring reusable food containers, cutlery and straws for personal use and to use woven bags to store food and beverages bought from the cafeteria. This regulation would be enforced at the state secretariat building, departments and agencies such as the Land and District Office, state statutory bodies, local councils as well as subsidiaries under the state administration.Soon, hypermarkets and supermarkets in the state will not be allowed to keep the 20 sen that they charge per plastic bag. Instead, the state government, through the local councils, would channel it into a special fund. The plastic bag charge is actually intended to be used by retailers to conduct programmes centred around corporate social responsibility, tree planting or producing recyclable shopping bags to be given out to the consumers. However, not many have done so. Consequently, local councils are entrusted to keep track of the sales of plastic bags through a code that was keyed in at the payment counters. The council would then collect the profits directly instead of the outlets to be channeled into a government fund. In return for the council’s efforts, the money will then be distributed back to the local councils where they are to use it to carry out corporate social responsibility programmes and those that will benefit the people. The effectiveness of this proposed mechanism of this new format is still being studied. Working papers are being prepared and it will subsequently be brought to the state executive councilor’s meeting for discussion and subsequent implementation at the end of 2019. Further dialogues would be held to educate and engage hypermarket and supermarket operators on this format so that they would be cooperative when the new policy came into force.In addition, Selangor state departments and agencies including Shah Alam City Council have also been directed to halt single-use straws from today, in line with Malaysia’s Roadmap Towards Zero Single-use Plastics 2018-2030 that was approved by the Federal government.It is important that people in Selangor do their part in protecting the environment. Considering that, Selangor has a population of 3.2 million, and if everyone uses a plastic straw every day, that figure will come to about 100 million monthly. This is of course a huge quantity where the Selangor State government wishes to reduce its use, because the plastic straw will end up in rivers, drains, landfills and the sea. In beach clean-up efforts, 99 per cent of waste are plastic straws. Therefore, it is high time that consumers are made aware of this and assist in reducing pollution. | Finance secured | Local | 671200 | 2019 | 2021-07-16T02:19:09.367 | ||||||||||

The agreement aims to improve city services through emerging technologies, support digital literacy and promote STEM workforce development.Charlotte will employ technology to improve lives as well as to create a regional center of excellence in workforce development and “internet of things,” with a sustained commitment to regional smart-city startups and innovators. The city has also demonstrated its leadership position on Smart City issues with the creation of the North End Smart District. The district north of uptown serves as a hub for city and public-private initiatives centered around technology and innovation. Goals of the smart district include reducing energy use, improving nutrition levels, increasing transit options and boosting tech education.Improving daily lives and upward mobilityThe new partnership with Microsoft will focus on improving the quality of life for Charlotte residents with an emphasis on fostering smart transit systems, providing public Wi-Fi spots, creating safer neighborhoods and improving upward mobility.To further assist residents with upward mobility, the city and Microsoft will roll out a pilot for smart buses and light rail systems. The city will equip some buses and/or trains with public Wi-Fi hotspots to help close a critical gap in the digital divide by providing internet access for those who may currently lack it. Internet access on public transit has the added benefit of making people more productive on their way to work and substantially increases the benefit for commuters to ride the bus, taking cars off the road and reducing traffic congestion. The city is also considering providing internet access to bus transit centers as well as underserved neighborhoods.In addition to providing public access to wi-fi, the Smart Bus/Train project will seek to equip the Charlotte Area Transit System with better tools to track bus locations, ridership information and vehicle diagnostics to ensure buses are running safely, on-time and efficiently.Public safety a top priorityTo improve community safety the city and Microsoft are working with a technology partner, Genetec, on deploying infrastructure that enhances information sharing between city departments, such as video footage in the event of an emergency. This will improve visibility and response times between agencies, as well as allow first responders, such as Fire and Police, to coordinate efforts versus working in silos.Another strategy to improve public safety is the deployment of smart street lights. In Charlotte, like in many cities, thousands of street lights are out throughout the city at any given time, creating a safety hazard for both drivers and pedestrians, as well as leaving at-risk areas without critical lighting at night.Smart street lights can be controlled remotely as well as transmit their status in real-time. These lights enable the city to efficiently keep a greater number of streetlights functioning as well as better plan repair and replacement schedules. This initiative will also allow the city to reduce lighting energy costs by providing better command and control of lights, as well as reduce the frequency and cost of maintenance.Charlotte has built a range of exciting and sustainable strategies that improve quality of life though the use of the latest technology. The partnership with Microsoft confirms Charlotte’s status as a leader in smart city technologies and creates a platform for sustainable growth into the future. | https://www.bizjournals.com/charlotte/inno/stories/partner-content/2020/01/30/city-helps-entrepreneurs-achieve-their-dreams-copy.html | 885708 | 2019 | {"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-80.8431, 35.2271]} | 2021-07-16T02:19:09.367 | ||||||||||

For every year until then, a part of this reduction is going on, making the emissions gradually lower. | By implementing more charging infrastructure for Electric vehicles throughout the municipality, we can show that we support a more electrified transport system. It is part of the shift towards more Electric vehicles, but there are several other drivers for this. Most charging is also being done at home anyway. | Pre-feasibility study status | Local | 92567 | 2018 | {"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[14.8091, 56.8777]} | 2021-07-16T02:19:09.367 | |||||

Rather than depend on linear and extractive processes, circular economy encourages repair, reuse and regeneration. As resource productivity is maximised, waste streams are redirected, pushing the economy towards a closed-loop, zero waste system. This is further coupled with a transition to renewable energy, allowing the circular economy concept to redefine growth and build economic, natural, and social capital.A routemap will enable us to explore alternative business models such as incentivised return, leasing and sharing. For example, what the economic benefits from reuse and remanufacturing might be as well as the potential for job creation. We do not know what and where the current opportunities are in the West Midlands, but there is likely economic advantage and potential to create jobs. The routemap will help us understand this better. During the period of developing the routemap, we will also be working with the Circular Economy Taskforce to identify some actions that we can pursue immediately. | Pre-feasibility study status | 50000 | 25000 | (Sub)national | 25000 | https://www.wmca.org.uk/what-we-do/environment/circular-economy/ | 2928592 | 2019 | 2021-07-16T02:19:09.367 |
