Percentage "reductions" in emissions by sector (6 US cities -Baltimore, Boulder, Burlington, Portland, Santa Monia, Seattle)

objectives
• To identify key actions for global urban footprint reduction (measured in terms of carbon emissions) for different types of cities
• To identify the ideal indicator framework for measuring and monitoring implementation of low footprint solutions in different types of cities and develop a system for selecting indicator frameworks given urban typology
• To identify key ‘soft’ drivers of change in cities which may not be captured through indicators or monitoring frameworks
outcomes
• Typology of cities based on renewable and consumable stocks (natural, social and economic)
• High leverage actions to implement low footprint solutions for different city types
• ‘Soft’ drivers of change and urban typologies in which they are relevant
• Decision support system for identifying indicator framework measuring and monitoring low footprint development in different urban typologies
outputs
• Peer reviewed publication about high leverage points to implement low footprint solutions in cities employing analysis of Earth Hour City Challenge (EHCC) data
• Peer reviewed publication about ‘soft’ drivers of change in cities which differentiate results for cities in same urban typology (given natural, economic and social stocks)
• WWF Knowledge product about urban typologies and transition pathways in different city types
• WWF Knowledge product about indicator frameworks for low footprint development in cities
Linear technological development scenario
the demands are to be met only by existing technology limited to wind, hydro and solar
Integrated technologies scenario
the solutions scape shall be expanded to include energy reduction options, locally relevant technologies (for given city types) and other viable technologies besides wind, solar and hydro
Breakthrough scenario
urban living in the Anthropocene shall be imagined for breakthrough developments in biological sciences and engineering, nano-technology, material and energy technologies to envision city life in the long term future.
Localization of governance
Power distribution
Autonomy in decision making
Localization
• national
• provincial
• city
Autonomy
• Involved populace and governance
• Involved populace, media and governance
• High literacy rates, involved populace, media and governance
Power
• Centralized
• Decentralized
• Bottle-necked (bureaucratized)
