Delivering Action Through:1. Measurement2. Procurement3. Best practice and policy
Carbon Disclosure Project
C40 Cities to jointly disclose their Carbon inventories in a standardised wayC40 Cities have access to commercial carbon calculator in order to measure and tackle Carbon emissions
Key Benefits are that cities can measure emissions, develop reduction strategies and set targets to reduce emissions
26 global suppliers – 1000+ products
Buildings, transport, waste management and lighting
Negotiated price ceilings
5% to 40% discounts off prevailing pricesPrice ceilings based on growing and predictable sales volumes
Procurement – Purchasing Alliance
Best Practice and Policy
“We can all be pioneers, but we will get things done a lot quicker if we steal each
others ideas!”

Schools and universities: LA, New York, Bangkok and Mexico City…
Public housing: New York and Toronto
Transportation
Hybrid bus test programmes
Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) systems
Cycle networks
Demand-side management programmes
Partnering with technical expert groups
Waste
Integrated and advanced waste management systems:
Capture and utilisation of methane from landfills to generate renewable energyRecycling of household, construction and demolition wasteUse of organic waste to produce biogas and fertiliserDelhi, Mumbai, Houston, London, Lagos, Mexico City, Hanoi and Jakarta
Methane emitted from landfills represents 12% global methane emissions
750 million tons of carbon dioxide
Lighting
LED street lighting – up to 70% reduction energy useLED traffic lights – up to 90% reduction
Los AngelesGreen Street Lighting Programme – launched February 2009
Replace 140,000 streetlights with LED units
40% energy savings
Reducing CO2 emissions by 40,500 tons - equivalent to taking 6,700 cars off the road
Save $10 million annually
Sao Paulo and Beyond
New Chairman – Mayor BloombergNew Strategy
- continue to advance existing initiatives while simultaneously broadening the C40 agenda. - encourage C40 cities to cooperate more directly and closely with one another.
Way ForwardContinue current initiatives; Promote direct city-city contacts in sub-networks, including regional networks;Focus on new initiatives that are roll-outs of existing efforts within leading cities, building upon what cities are doing themselves; andEmbed technical advice in sub-networks, as support to networks of cities talking to each other
