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 Calgary Climate Change Accord. These cities committed to being environmental leaders and catalysts for change by utilizing official 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 Calgary Community GHG Reduction Plan. The Plan provides in-depth measurement of city-wide emissions sources and outlines actions with proven results in other jurisdictions for reducing those emissions. As part of the plan, Council also approved reduction 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 GHG reductions 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 the 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.13234002021{"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-114.071, 51.0486]}2021-10-04T09:30:14.243

Commercial energy use was held in proportion to job growth. The levels of population and employment published in the Metropolitan Council 2015 Systems Plan were recorded for 2015, 2020, 2030 and 2040. A linear annual average rate of growth for population was calculated based on these data, resulting in a 0.6% increase per year. Similarly, a linear annual average rate of growth for employment was calculated at an increase of 0.8% per year. Energy use from each sector grew in direct proportion to these rates. Waste, water, and wastewater emissions grew in proportion to population. Travel grew in proportion to employment, while fuel economy improved at rate of 0.36% per year. Emissions associated with electricity use are determined by the electric generation mix emission factor for Xcel Energy. Xcel Energy’s Resource Plan, with published generation mix and emission intensity through 2035, as well as the company’s announced plan of carbon free electricity by 2050, provided a rate of reduction in electric emission intensity from 2015 to 2050. The business-as-usual projection did not include efficiency improvements or other actions planned by the community.[Wedge DiagramGPI provided tables of sector emission scenarios and a wedge diagram to compare the business-as-usual trajectory to emission reduction that can be potentially achieved by planned actions, and to identify the remaining emissions that must be reduced by other actions to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. As described above, the primary BAU projection is based on Metropolitan Council projections of population and jobs growth as well as Xcel’s published resource plans and electric energy intensity. An additional BAU projection that does not include electric emission factor reductions was also provided to show the impact that growth in energy use would have without the decarbonization of the grid. Finally, reductions in annual emissions as a result of current action plans were also provided, which include efficiency investments and electric vehicle adoption, among other strategies. The methodology from the wedge tool was utilized to identify strategy-specific savings, using defined savings and inputs for each strategy based on the topic and breadth. wedgetoolmethodology_july2018Yes - 2 °CNoBy 2030, the actions in the Saint Paul Climate Action & Resilience Plan, along with changes to the electric grid, will result in a 44% reduction in emissions from a business-as-usual scenario. While this falls short of the 50% reduction goal, it will nonetheless have major impacts on the city’s emissions. The emissions that remain primarily come from natural gas use in buildings, and gasoline and diesel used in vehicles. To achieve carbon neutrality, the city will need to be more aggressive in reducing emissions from vehicle travel and natural gas consumption, implement more advanced actions to replace remaining fossil fuel use through electrification, dramatic shifts in land use, and thermal grid technologies (such as efficiency, waste heat capture, and renewable energy sources applied to the heating and cooling system). This means taking bolder action to curb the use of single-occupancy internal combustion vehicles and accelerate alternatives to natural gas. Achieving targets by 2030 will set the city on a path to be carbon neutral by 2050.3150002020{"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-93.09, 44.9537]}2021-10-04T09:30:14.243

Al respecto, el Perú al ratificar dicho Acuerdo, adoptó el compromiso de reducir el 20% de sus emisiones para el año 2030, más un 10% adicional que está condicionado a la cooperación internacional. Para el cumplimiento de este compromiso, el Estado debe implementar acciones de mitigación y adaptación al cambio climático enmarcadas en las Contribuciones Determinadas a Nivel Nacional.El 18 de diciembre del 2020 el compromiso de NDC del país se actualizo con el Reporte de las Contribuciones Determinadas a Nivel Nacional (NDC) para el periodo 2021-2030. En este reporte el Estado Peruano se compromete a que sus emisiones netas de gases de efecto invernadero no excedan las 208,8 MtCO2eq en el año 2030 (meta no condicionada) y que las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero podrían alcanzar un nivel máximo de 179,0 MtCO2eq en función a la disponibilidad de financiamiento externo internacional y a la existencia de condiciones favorables (meta condicionada).En este sentido, la meta de reduccion de emisiones al 2030 del PLCC Lima establece que se reducira el 30% de las emisiones de GEI de la ciudad con respecto al escenario tendencial, por lo cual se encuentra alineado a las metas nacionales85749742017{"type"=>"Point", "coordinates"=>[-77.0283, -12.0433]}2021-10-04T09:30:14.243

In 2018, 18.2 % has been achieved. In November 2018 Sofia Municipality has set its commitment under the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy as follows:(1) To reduce CO2 (and possibly other greenhouse gas) emissions on its territory by at least 40% by 2030, namely through improved energy efficiency and greater use of renewable energy sources; and (2) To increase its resilience by adapting to the impacts of climate change.In order to translate these commitments into action, Sofia Municipality has undertaken the following step-by-step approach:(1) Carrying out a Baseline Emissions Inventory and a Climate Change Risk and Vulnerability Assessment;(2) Submitting a Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan within two years; and (3) Report progress at least every second year following the submission of the Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan for evaluation, monitoring, and verification purposes. At the national level, Bulgaria has a joint committee within the EU. The EU and its Member States are committed to a binding target of at least 40% domestic reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 compared to 1990, to be fulfilled jointly. The target represents a significant progression beyond itscurrent undertaking of a 20% emission reduction commitment by 2020 compared to 1990 (which includes the use of offsets). It is in line with the EU objective, in the context of necessary reductions according to the IPCC by developed countries as a group, to reduce its emissions by 80-95% by 2050 compared to 1990. Furthermore, it is consistent with the need for at least halving global emissions by 2050 compared to 1990. The EU and its Member States have already reduced their emissions byaround 19% on 1990 levels while GDP has grown by more than 44% over the same period. As a result, average per capita emissions across the EU and its Member States have fallen from 12 tonnes CO2-eq. in 1990 to 9 tonnes CO2-eq. in 2012 and are projected to fall to around 6 tonnes CO2-eq. in 2030.

This target equated to Manchester’s fair share of the UK’s legally binding carbon reduction obligations under the Climate Change Act 2008. This equates to a reduction from levels of 3.2 million tonnes per annum (2009) to less than two million; it also equates to a reduction in per capita emissions from 7.3 tonnes to 4.3 tonnes per head. As of 2018 data (the most recent available), we have achieved 92.4% of this target, using current trends it has been projected that we will meet this target however the definitive data will not be available to 2022.Same (city-wide) – covers entire city and nothing else200920201932.26563200100Other, please specify: UK Climate Change Act 2008.Yes - 1.5 °CYesThis target equated to Manchester’s fair share of the UK’s legally binding carbon reduction obligations under the Climate Change Act 2008.55285820202021-10-04T09:30:14.243

Regardless, they both aim for at least a 25% reduction in GHG emissions from late 1990-early 2000's levels by 2030. York's goal of 50% reduction of 2018 levels by 2030 ought to exceed those standards, despite having a 2018 baseline. Only one inventory has been conducted so far (2018), so we do not have a "percentage of target achieved so far" to report.1315120182021-10-04T09:30:14.243

El nivel BASIC (básico) cubre las fuentes de emisión que se producen en casi todas las ciudades (energía estacionaria, transporte dentro de los límites y desechos generados en la ciudad), donde las metodologías y datos de cálculo están fácilmente disponibles. Se corresponde a un marco de reporte inducido por la ciudad. En detalle, las emisiones cubiertas son: - Energía Estacionaria, alcances 1 y 2 - Transporte, alcance 1 (se utiliza el método de venta de combustible) y 2- Residuos, alcance 1 y 3Se decidió no incorporar las emisiones de agricultura y ganadería y las emisiones de alcance 3 de energía estacionaria (incluidas en el inventario) ya que sobre estas, los gobiernos locales no tienen capacidad de realizar acciones concretas para mitigarlas. Se incluyeron sólo aquellas que pueden ser gestionados más fácilmente a escala local.Same (city-wide) – covers entire city and nothing else20162020402556.12252030606702Durante el 2014 en Argentina se emitieron 368 millones de toneladas de dióxido de carbono equivalente (MtCO2e). Por otro lado, las emisiones proyectadas al año 2030 bajo el escenario BAU ascienden a 592 MtCO2e. De esta forma, el aumento porcentual relativo de emisiones proyectado para el 2030 es del 53,26%. Este aumento será considerado para la preparación del escenario BAU de Venado Tuerto donde se proyectarán las emisiones alcanzadas por el nivel BÁSICO. Éste nivel abarca los sectores en los cuales los gobiernos locales poseen mayor capacidad de realizar acciones concretas, y que pueden ser gestionados más fácilmente que los incluidos en el nivel BÁSICO+. Para correlacionar el escenario Business as Usual nacional con el de Venado Tuerto se realizó un ajuste considerando las tasas de aumento poblacional. El factor de ajuste es equivalente a la relación entre la variación poblacional en el período 2016-2030 a nivel nacional y local.Factor de ajuste = (variación población 2016 − 2030 Venado Tuerto)/(variación población 2016 − 2030 Argentina)El INDEC estima que durante este tiempo la población argentina aumentará un 13,64% y un 17,20% en el municipio (considerando la variación intercensal entre los censos poblacionales del 2001 y 2010). Por lo tanto factor de ajuste resulta de 1,261. Así, el aumento de emisiones proyectado para Venado Tuerto será del 67,17%. Aumento de emisiones en Venado Tuerto 2016 − 2030 (%) = 53,26% ∗ 1,261 = 67,17% Tomando de base el inventario BÁSICO de Venado Tuerto del 2016, las emisiones proyectadas bajo el escenario tendencial al 2030 serán de 606.713 tCO2e. Tomando como referencia la meta de reducción de emisiones presentada por el país y acorde a lo establecido en el Pacto de Alcaldes por el Clima y la Energía, Venado Tuerto se compromete a reducir sus emisiones de gases de efecto en al menos un 18% respecto al escenario BAU al 2030, considerando las fuentes de emisión del alcance BÁSICO. Sin embargo, las suma de las emisiones evitadas por las acciones implementadas en el municipio, implican reducir un 25% sus emisiones, por lo que se vuelve más ambicioso aún. Por lo tanto, Venado Tuerto no emitirá más de 455.027 tCO2e en 2030.Do not knowNoSe espera que la reducción de emisiones propuesta por Venado Tuerto y las medidas que se desarrollen para su concreción, se sumen a los esfuerzos nacionales.8152220162021-10-04T09:30:14.243
