摘要 | As part of the Alliance’s ongoing work plan to promote sustainability and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, mayors across the country were asked about their city’s efforts in the areas of low-carbon transportation, energy efficiency in new and existing buildings, and green electricity and conservation efforts. The sustainability questionnaire is designed to determine innovative practices in key local policy areas, identify trends, and define opportunities where additional assistance may be needed. The responses of more than 180 American cities in the third installment provides a snapshot of local and potential future action as well as assisting in the development of a baseline of city efforts. Climate action at the local government level and coordination with the business community now play a more important role than ever in developing climate solutions. As the second largest carbon emitting country, the climate and energy policies of the United States set an example for the world community in the global effort to stem climate change. Many American cities and businesses are taking on a leadership role, embracing the responsibility of addressing this challenge for their citizens and employees. Broad coordination efforts such as “We Are Still In” and “America’s Pledge” have grown to help fill the vacuum of national leadership. Our survey shows that cities are uniquely positioned to advance solutions and continue to step up to the challenge. However, they can’t do it alone. Additional results and advancements could be achieved through additional resources and support at the state and federal level. Key Findings:Climate Impacts are Affecting Cities and they are Responding
Cities are Promoting Transportation Solutions
Renewable Energy Use is Growing
Cities are Taking on Building Efficiency
Partnerships Remain a Vital Strategy for Climate Action
The private sector and nonprofit community are playing a vital role in supporting local leaders. Cities report strong collaborations have already been established, and also indicate real opportunities for new and expanded partnerships with other local governments and businesses to advance climate solutions. Increased collaboration will help more cities achieve more broader implementation, a strategy the Alliance for a Sustainable Future is designed to facilitate. |
