Riihimäki: Drafting a climate strategy with the help of IMS

Croatia has ratified the Kyoto Protocol and aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 5% below 1990 levels by 2012 in line with EU policy. Key measures to achieve this include increasing renewable energy sources such as wind, biomass, and hydropower, improving energy efficiency in industry and buildings, and developing sustainable transport options. Long-term goals beyond 2012 involve stabilizing emissions and transitioning to a low-carbon economy through greater renewable energy usage, energy efficiency, connecting to the EU emissions trading system, and potential future measures such as carbon capture and storage or nuclear energy.

This is a summary of India´s National Action Plan on Climate Change (from the Pew Center on Global Climate Change)

This document summarizes a study analyzing strategies to reduce both air pollution and greenhouse gases in Mexico City. Key points: 1) It develops a database of emissions reduction options from Mexico City's air quality plan and greenhouse gas studies to allow analyzing joint management of pollutants. 2) It implements linear programming and goal programming models to identify lowest-cost strategies for meeting multiple pollutant reduction targets. 3) Analysis finds air quality plan could reduce CO2 3.1% and greenhouse gas measures could reduce CO2 8.7%, though local pollutant reductions are more modest from greenhouse measures. 4) Linear programming allows lowering costs of air quality plan by 20% and achieving greenhouse gas reductions at lower

The Large Public Power Council (LPPC) CEOs agreed to participate in a voluntary greenhouse gas reduction plan in support of the President's climate change strategy. The attached documents outline public powers' proposed GHG reduction plan and timeline. The plan seeks credible, verifiable mitigation measures through voluntary programs and partnerships between various groups. Public power will work with environmental organizations and local governments on collaborative projects to reduce emissions.

The document summarizes Rome's actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve its targets under the Kyoto Protocol. It outlines Rome's population, economy, transportation systems, and environmental policies. Key strategies mentioned include adopting an Environmental Action Plan, integrating sustainability into urban planning, and engaging stakeholders to develop and implement emission reduction measures across various sectors like transportation, energy, waste, and more. The goal is an integrated approach to cut emissions 6.5% by 2012 from 1990 levels through infrastructure projects, renewable energy, energy efficiency, reforestation, and other climate mitigation actions.

Converting carbon-rich lands such as rainforests, peatlands, savannas or grasslands to produce biofuels will increase CO2 emissions for decades or centuries, releasing 17 to 420 times more CO2 than the fossil fuels they replace.

The document discusses the EVA-project, which aims to develop sustainable cultivation systems for energy crops in Germany. It finds that maize is currently the most productive and profitable crop for biogas substrates, but has the worst impacts on soil and biodiversity. Crop rotation 04, including summer barley and alfalfa-grass mixtures, achieves 85% of maize yields while having more positive environmental and economic benefits. The project aims to optimize energy crop rotations to reduce risks while maintaining high yields and soil quality.
