The City plans to improve public transport in the upcoming period, it is to expect a positive trend in this field. Namely, the rules for the new public invitation to perform this activity, among other things, define strict conditions regarding the fuel that will be used by buses. Therefore, the buses will have to be environmentally friendly and use EURO VI, CNG or electricity as fuel. In this way, we believe that the emission of polluting gases will be significantly reduced. A better offer of public transport will also reduce the use of private vehicles.1859372011{"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[19.2594, 42.4304]}2021-07-16T02:09:29.690

These targets are based on percentage reductions from 1990 emissions levels. Using an estimate of 1990 citywide greenhouse gas emissions, they thus estimated that we would need to reduce emissions to 5.5 million MT CO2e by 2021 to align with the state targets.We are currently working on our first citywide GHG inventory since the adoption of the Climate Smart San Jose plan and these goals.

The UAE has not committed to a specific reduction in greenhouse gases. Dubai's targets for carbon abatement (16% reduction compared to business as usual by 2021) go beyond the national commitments with regard to reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Dubai also has set targets for clean and renewable energy (25% by 2030 and 75% by 2050) which go beyond the UAE NDC on the long term. They are less ambitious than the NDC on the short term (2021) as the UAE targets are mostly linked to the nuclear power plant being built in Abu Dhabi.

The revised planning documents include:- Hermosillo's Municipal Development Plan 2016-2018.- Hermosillo's 2015 Municipal Climate Action Plan.- Hermosillo's City prosperity index by UN-HABITAT and SEDATU.The mitigation roadmap was established from three references:- New actions during the diagnosis.- The revision of municipal plans and projects.- The actions proposed directly by the city's stakeholders.The prioritization was carried out through a semiquantitative multicriteria analysis, considering specifically for each action, the following four criteria:- Mitigation potential.- Viability.- Added environmental benefits.- Added social benefits.Yes - 2 °CYesThe policy aims to improve the capacity for adaptation, strengthen resilience and reduce the vulnerability to climate change in the city by aligning with the efforts of the Nationally Determined Contribution (CDN). That is, at the local level and from its area of influence, this is a strategy to contribute to the fulfilment of Mexico's commitments with its CDN. For example, the regeneration of green areas is of special importance for Hermosillo; the Municipal Action Plan, Hermosillo at a Human Scale (BID-NADBANK, 2018), remarks regarding the ratio of green areas and public spaces, that the city has 20 hectares per 100,000 inhabitants. Currently, there is an increase in the deficit of green areas and public spaces; it is expected that qualified green areas grow to a lesser extent than the population by the year 2050. Therefore, in a Business as Usual scenario: The index of green areas per inhabitant decreases from 2.14 m2 / hab. in 2015 to 1.58 m2 / hab. in 2050.9133182020{"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-110.961, 29.0892]}2021-07-16T02:09:29.690

In Calgary, this reduction corresponds with absolute target of 3.2 Mt CO2e in 2050.In October 2009, Calgary was among nine members of the World Energy Cities Partnership to sign the CalgaryClimate Change Accord. These cities committed to being environmental leaders and catalysts for change by utilizingofficial policies and plans to reduce municipal GHG emissions.To meet the challenges of the Calgary Climate Change Accord, in November 2011, City Council adopted the CalgaryCommunity GHG Reduction Plan. The Plan provides in-depth measurement of city-wide emissions sources and outlinesactions with proven results in other jurisdictions for reducing those emissions. As part of the plan, Council also approvedreduction target of:• 80 per cent below 2005 levels by 2050This target applies for both corporate and community-wide GHG emissions. The plan also identified the potential for GHGreductions in Calgary, and the initial steps to make progress towards implementation.To-date, this 2011 plan was replaced by the Calgary Climate Resilience Strategy 2018 while target is kept the same. This is aligned with international policy direction and federal policy directions of the Pan-Canadian Framework on Climate Change and provincial goals.12857112019{"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-114.071, 51.0486]}2021-07-16T02:09:29.690

However it places no requirement on local government to set their own individual targets. This target exceeds the national ambition by working towards 2030 rather than 2050. The emerging CNCR Action Plan identifies potential emissions reductions pathways including a Paris 1.5C aligned pathway (which would require annual year on year emissions reductions of 13%), but the carbon impact of delivering the actions contained within the Action Plan have not been fully quantified and so it is not possible to identify the specific pathway that all of the actions contained within the Action Plan would result in. Despite this, we know that the actions being proposed are based on assessment of the issues, opportunities and what the CCC and others deem to be necessary to reach carbon neutrality, and we are frontloading delivery of these actions wherever possible so that we can do everything within our sphere of influence to push us towards carbon neutrality by 2030, the Paris-aligned trajectory and compliance with our cumulative CO2 budgets. Quantifying the carbon impacts of the actions is in itself a key action of the plan.15511520192021-07-16T02:09:29.690

This research proposed a target, adopted as above in Greater Manchester, which is compliant with the Paris Agreement to “hold the increase in global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C”. This sets a long term carbon budget, a sequence of 5-year carbon budgets and a date of effective carbon neutrality, all adopted in Greater Manchester’s 5-Year Environment Plan.28356862019{"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-2.15783, 53.4576]}2021-07-16T02:09:29.690

It does not cover Scope 3 or imported emissions. This is for several reasons, including: ability to monitor and measure effectively; alignment with the local carbon budget model embedded; and ability to influence and shape sources of emissions directly.Same – covers entire city and nothing else202020283850003460000Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & EnergyYes - 1.5 °CNoSetting a 2028 target not only prioritises that Nottingham stays well below its carbon budget to pursue a 1.5C limit to warming but it also sets the standard for other cities as they consider their own pledges, making Nottingham a leading city in climate action. The 2028 carbon neutral target is defined by the point at which only 5% of Nottingham's carbon budget (7.7MtCO2) is left. Depending on the trajectory taken, this will affect the level of emissions emitted in our target year 2028, and the remaining level of residual emissions to offset at that point. Under an annual reduction of 22.3% per year (2020 to 2028) remaining emissions under this pathway would be 385,000tCO2 cumulatively through to 2100, which is 5% of the carbon budget of 7.7 million tonnes. For the most part, reducing the principal sources of CO2 would significantly lower CO2e, and our Carbon Neutral Action Plan aims to reduce all greenhouse gases and scopes where possible. Progress is reported as 0% as emissions data as this target has only been introduced this year. CO2 emissions data also has a 2 year lag, and as such, 2018 emissions are the most recent known.33290020192021-07-16T02:09:29.690

In October 2019, Toronto City Council declared a climate emergency, deepening the City's commitment to addressing climate change. As part of the climate emergency declaration, Toronto's long-term greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction target was revised. The City's new targets (based on 1990 levels) are: 30 per cent by 2020 65 per cent by 2030 Net zero by 2050, or soonerAchieving these targets will require transformational changes in how we live, work, build and commute, and everyone will have a role in transforming Toronto into a low-carbon city.For more information on TranformTO please see link attached:https://www.toronto.ca/services-payments/water-environment/environmentally-friendly-city-initiatives/transformto/TransformTO supports Council's Strategic Action Plan.
