Programa para ajudar os conselhos a impulsionar a ação climática
As Parceria de energia das cidades e Sustentabilidade da Ironbark have joined forces to launch an Australian program that will enable local governments to make evidence-based decisions when investing in emissions reduction projects.
The pilot program uses the Cities Activity Database (CAD), Ironbark Sustainability’s tool, that categorises data from about 13,000 climate activities from more than 800 cities worldwide, and helps users find the most popular, cost-effective or highest impacto soluções para a sua área municipal.
“Councils manage a huge amount of infrastructure, transport and other sectors that consume a lot of energy and produce a lot of emissions,” said Ironbark Sustentabilidade Gerente de Negócios, Alexi Lynch.
“As councils ramp up their emissions reduction ambitions, CAD takes the guesswork out of which projects to invest in for the highest impact — saving councils time and money. It’s a really powerful way for councils to ensure their climate action planning is the most impactful for the communities they serve.”
Director of the Cities Power Partnership, Dr Portia Odell said the pilot program presented an exciting opportunity for Australian cities and towns to supercharge their climate action by drawing on the learning of hundreds of global cities and towns.
“Os governos locais são uma parte crítica da solução climática da Austrália e esperamos que as informações altamente individualizadas e baseadas em dados fornecidas através da nossa nova parceria com a Ironbark acelerem ainda mais os esforços locais de redução de emissões dos nossos membros”, disse o Dr.
Os conselhos que aderirem à Cities Power Partnership até 31 de outubro de 2021 podem participar no programa piloto e receberão um relatório sobre projetos de redução de emissões para a sua área de conselho.
The report insights will be based on actions that similar cities and towns had taken, as well as the effectiveness, carbon reduction potential, probability of success and costs of potential projects.
Os conselhos participantes serão solicitados a fornecer feedback para permitir que a Cities Power Partnership e a Ironbark desenvolvam e ampliem ainda mais ferramentas semelhantes para o benefício dos conselhos em todo o mundo. Australia.
