Homework 3
Scope
Current trends in environmental change demands that issues of climate change be critically assessed. Recent environmental catastrophes have been attributed to global warming as a result of basically the increase in the production of ghg. This work is a strategic plan for cities to reduce ghg emissions to meet both Kyoto standards and EU objectives by the 2020 and the efforts for sustainable management of nature and environment,
Question
From the status quo in European cities such as emissions from transport and major power plants and compiling a list of existing activities with relevance to climate protection, what are the policies towards adapting to climate change or a greener environment?
Boundaries
2012-2020
Intended users
City councils
- To source for funding For the enforcement and implementation of recommendations
- Energy production units
- For the assessment of their current levels of ghg emissions and usage of best practices as well as efficient machinery to possibly reduce ghg
Transport commissions
- To possibly look at the production of alternative source of fuel
Communication and public relations out fits
- To communicate in the appropriate but effective manner recommendations
Building and construction out fits
- Designing structures that are line with energy conservation to reduce energy demand
Participants
Open to All stake holders with environmental concerns
Decisions
Effective transport plan
- Option: which will include provision for extra safer bicycle lane
City energy efficiency plan
Option:
- Decreasing greenhouse gas emissions
- General awareness
- Rationale
- Policies

Obligatory CO2 standards for road transport.
Investing into the attractive means of public transport and into the non-motorised forms of transport.
Influencing the necessity of mobility by infrastructure planning
Building and construction out fits
- Energetics coding and certifications for buildings.
- Financial incentives for thermotechnical development projects.
