Barcelona is more ambitious in order to be aligned to the Catalan Climate Change law, that sets a 40% of emission reduction per inhabitant but taking as a baseline 1990.While working in the Climate Plan, a Catalan law was passed intending to reduce a 50% the emissions, but also sectorial and territorialy reductions are not still set. Our target was set a mid-term between GCoM and Climate Change law, which is a 45% reduction of emissions per inhabitant.Climate Emergency Declaration exposes that all these past targets are not enough to reach the Paris Agreement goals, then a target of 50% reduction from 1992 was set, adding some more measures and budget to the Climate Plan. 1992 was chosen as a base year, as it is the first year where Barcelona methodology of reporting emissions inventories can be calculated with all sectorial data. | |||

City-owned energy Company Helen's target is in line with the city.The city council of Helsinki decided in the new city strategy 2017-2021 that Helsinki will reduce its emissions by 60 % by 2030 and become carbon neutral (minimum of -80% emission reduction and compensation of 20%) by 2035. In the plan there are target values for buildings (-82% reduction) and transport (-70% reduction) to reach a minimum of 80% emission reduction by 2035. To implement this Helsinki prepared a mitigation action plan which includes 147 measures. The action plan was finalized in Feb 2018 and approved in Dec 2018 by the city government.Previous GHG target approved by the city strategy (in 2013) is 30% emission reduction target between 1990-2020, which is still valid and seems likely to be achieved. The city-owned energy company Helen has the same target for carbon neutrality by 2035 than the city does. Energy production's emissions are rapidly decreasing as Helsinki's both CHP coal-power plants are closed by 2025 (Hanasaari) and 2029 (Salmisaari) and replaced with 0-emission energy. | ||||

The Climate Strategy also includes a new mid-term target for 2023 of 52 percent emission reduction. In the Climate Budget 2020, the reference year was changed from 1990 to 2009, due to adaptions to the national emission inventory for municipalities developed by the Norwegian Environment Agency (NEA). The target of 95 percent reduction of 2009-levels by 2030 includes the gases CO2, CH4 and N2O. The percentage of target achieved so far of 16 percent relates to 2019, which is the most updated emission inventory for municipalities in Norway. Note that this target is connected to Oslo's emissions invenventory, as provided by NEA (without any alterations). This inventory differs from the GPC-compliant inventory which is reported in section 4.

Emissions Reduction | Mitigation Target setting | 2 | Energy | Covers the Council's own property estate as part of the Carbon Reduction Commitment Energy Efficiency Scheme. | Same (city-wide) – covers entire city and nothing else | This is for the Council's property stock across the Borough. | 2013 | 2013 | 19926 | 35 | 2020 | 12951.9 | 73 | No | Do not know | Individual City Commitment | In July 2018, we completed our annual Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) submission to the Environment Agency, reporting a total of 5,367 tonnes of CO2. The annual CRC Report presents an excellent opportunity to record the progress that we are making in terms of reducing the overall carbon emissions associated with the Council’s building stock. Reporting 5,367 tonnes of CO2 for the 2017/2018 CRC year represented a significant drop from the Council’s first annual submission in 2012/2013 where we reported a total of 19,926 tonnes of CO2. This represents a 73% saving between 2012/2013 and 2017/2018. The target was to reduce our CRC emissions by 35%. There were changes to the CRC e.g., school buildings removed, but street lighting added. The work is evidence of the Council's strong commitment to reducing its energy consumption. | ||
