What opportunities due to addressing climate change is your region taking advantage of? | CleanBC laid out a path to reducing GHG emissions from the transportation sector. The CleanBC Heavy-Duty Vehicle Efficiency program is a partnership between the Province and the BC Trucking Association to provide incentives to the trucking sector to purchase buy and install fuel-saving equipment in heavy-duty vehicles, and to provide education and share information on driving practices and equipment maintenance that further reduce GHG emissions. CleanBC is helping with: rebates to make EVs more affordable; legislation to make EVs more widely available, and support to grow the EV industry in British Columbia. These vehicles operate on locally-made electricity or hydrogen, so their increased adoption will reduce emissions. The Zero-Emission Vehicles Act was passed in May 2019, requiring all new light-duty vehicles sold in B.C. to be zero-emission vehicles by 2040. Along with making more EVs available at more affordable prices, the legislation will help ensure our GHG reduction targets are met. With EV sales taking off, B.C. companies are building on their strengths to support the growth of this emerging industry. The Go Electric Advanced Research and Commercialization (ARC) Program is helping, by supporting B.C. companies and encouraging new international investment. Funding is available for: pre-commercial research and development of a B.C.-based EV product, service or technology; commercialization of a B.C.-based EV product, service or technology, including investments in manufacturing facilities or processes, and use or demonstration of a B.C.-based EV product, service, or technology. B.C.’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) requires suppliers to decrease the average life-cycle carbon intensity of their transportation fuels to achieve a 10 per cent reduction by 2020. The CleanBC plan builds on that, requiring a 20 per cent reduction by 2030, further reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. To increase the supply of cleaner fuels, the Province is providing new incentives for production. In 2019, B.C. released an active transportation strategy called Move. Commute. Connect. The strategy aims to double the percentage of trips taken with active transportation by 2030. The Province is also undertaking the electrification of its inland ferry fleet, with the first ferry (the Arrow Park cable ferry) is to be completed in 2020. | 1 | 298,203 |

Which risk types are considered in your organization's climate-related risk assessments? | A scenario analysis identified a climate-related risk associated with primary materials and minerals used in our products, given the climate change-sensitive locations from which they are sourced. Steel and Copper are critical to the design of our products. Steel can be found in tape measures, wrenches, engineered fasteners, demolition attachments and pipeline equipment. Copper can be found in any electrified products as internal wiring and almost all motors since motor windings are typically made of copper. Some countries identified as the main locations we source steel and copper from have been and are expected to continue enduring severe weather due to climate change, specifically Western Australia (droughts) and Chile (droughts and floods). Our risk management processes mapped the risks associated with our steel and copper supply from Australia and Chile. These risks have the potential to negatively impact supply, which we expect will lead to increased material costs. From a transportation perspective, we know severe weather can cause damage and delays; our transportation teams implement best practice mitigation techniques when severe weather threatens. | 0 | 540,317 |

Do you have a GHG emissions reduction target(s) in place at the city-wide level? | The Emirate's recovery plan has identified several focus areas and green economy is one of them. The objective is to support the development and growth of green economic activities (both existing and new ones). There is currently an active screening involving key government stakeholders and representatives from the private sector to identify opportunities for boosting green economic activities. Separately, the government has revisited its healthcare service provision and response approaches and is updating existing procedures, governance aspects and overall responsibilities to ensure that the healthcare system is more resilient and capable of responding to emergencies, including climate change. Post-COVID-19, the city has implemented new policies and certain urban refurbishment measures to make the city more cycling-friendly. Finally, COVID-19 put a great focus on food security and security of food supply chains. As Dubai imports around 90% of its food, it is very important that there is a holistic approach to food security and this need resulted in the development of the Dubai Food Security Strategy. One of the main pillars of the strategy consists of increasing local production and efficiency (hence productivity) of local agricultural activities with a focus on the opportunities that agri-tech can offer in this space especially when considering the limited availability of local water resources and available arable land. | 0 | 88,393 |
How does your city increase access to sustainable foods? | Traditionally, throughout the city, open-air markets that occupy a certain street in each neighbourhood once per week have been well established in the Municipality of Athens and the rest of the municipalities of the metropolitan city (http://www.laikesagores.gr/laikh/agora/road/listmode=list).In these markets only fresh vegetables can be sold (in some cases also fish and eggs), most of them produced locally, sometimes sold by the producers themselves.No meat is provided within these markets.These markets are very popular, thanks to the low cost and the freshness of fruit and vegetable provided there. Some of these open-air markets are dedicated only to organic fruit, vegetables and eggs.Apart from the low cost and the locality of food production that these open-air markets offer, as they need no consumption of energy inside buildings to operate (for lighting, ventilation, heating/cooling, refrigerators, appliances etc), but only the energy for transporting fresh food to each location every day, products sold in these locations have lower embodied energy and GHG emissions than fruits and vegetable sold in supermarkets. | 1 | 141,489 |

Provide details of risks identified with the potential to have a substantive financial or strategic impact on your business. | PSEG believes that climate change is the preeminent challenge of our time and with it comes significant business opportunities and responsibilities. As a leader in low-carbon energy, PSEG Power is recognized for having the third lowest carbon emission rates among the nation's largest power producers in the United States. PSEG has long advocated for federal legislation to limit and reduce GHG emissions. Absent a comprehensive legislative solution, we have supported the steps taken by states to reduce GHGs. PSEG has been factoring climate change into its business decisions and investments since the early 1990s.In 2018, PSEG introduced its ''Powering Progress†vision for the future of our company – a future in which we help our customers use less energy, ensure that the energy they use is cleaner and greener, and deliver that energy more reliably than ever before. In 2019, PSEG introduced a significant extension of the ''Powering Progress†vision: announcing that PSEG is on track to cut its power fleet carbon emissions by 80 percent, from 2005 levels, by 2046. This goal continues PSEG's position among the energy sector's most progressive power providers. Further, PSEG believes that with necessary advances in such critical areas as public energy policy, carbon-capture technology and customer behavior that our generation fleet can achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Starting in 2020 all of our wholly owned fossil fuel-fired electric generating units will be subject to a price on carbon (RGGI).PSEG believes that the necessary advances will occur in such critical areas as public energy policy, carbon-capture technology and customer behavior that our generation fleet can achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. To achieve this goal: PSEG Power will retire or sell all remaining interests in coal-fired power plants, and has no plans to build or acquire new fossil-fueled generation; PSEG will continue to advocate for the preservation of PSEG's Salem and Hope Creek nuclear plants – the source of more than 90 percent of New Jersey's zero-carbon electricity; and PSEG will continue to explore opportunities in solar, offshore wind and emerging technologies, and continue to advocate for energy efficiency, which is the most valuable and cost effective action we can undertake for our customers and for the environment. | 1 | 385,548 |
Describe the anticipated outcomes of the most impactful mitigation actions your city is currently undertaking; the total cost of the action and how much is being funded by the local government. | In the draft 2018 Unified Development Ordinance, a section on Green Development Incentives details 4 goals and 3 incentive levels demonstrating that sustainability is a key component of nurturing Bloomington's environmental integrity. The program encourages energy efficiency measures, measures to minimize the environmental footprint of a development, sustainable landscaping and site design, support for multi-modal transportation, mixed use development, affordable housing, walk/bike/transit-friendly locations, and more. For energy and resource efficiency goals, examples include installation of a vegetated roof covering at least fifty percent of the total roof area, non-polluting and/or renewable on-site energy sources, and recycling and/or salvaging of at least fifty percent of non-hazardous construction and demolition debris. The second goal for landscaping and site design includes the use of permeable pavement materials for at least fifty percent of all private driveways, pathways, and parking areas, the use of native vegetation, permeable man-made materials, biofiltration swales, rain gardens and other conservation design techniques to convey and filter stormwater, and the use of stormwater systems to capture and reuse at least fifty percent of stormwater for common and public space irrigation. The third goal describes the incorporation of a mix of residential and nonresidential land uses, improved bicycle infrastructure, and subsidized public transit. Lastly, the fourth goal addresses strategic development by providing incentives if development is located near public transit stops, close to the downtown center, near public schools and parks, and near a multi-use trail facility. Estimated emissions reduction totals associated with these actions have not yet been quantified. | 1 | 157,467 |

Please give a general description and introduction to your city including your city’s reporting boundary in the table below. | Oslo is the capital and the largest city of Norway. Oslo has a population of 683 794 inhabitants (1.4.2019). The city is experiencing rapid growth. Population growth creates opportunities, but it also puts pressure on the city`s land area, infrastructure, environment and economy. The geographical area of Oslo covers 454 km2. Oslo is located in a bowl formation in the terrain, the city center being surrounded by hills and the Oslo Fjord. Two thirds of the total area is forested and are protected areas where development is prohibited.10 waterways with adjoining greenbelts runs from the forests through the city and into the fjord with its 40 islands. Oslo has successfully transformed form an industrial city into a modern, green, knowledge hub. Direct carbon emissions in Oslo are 1.6 tons CO2 equivalents per capita in 2017 (the latest numbers), declining from 2.4 tonnes in 1991. The relatively low levels is due to the use of predominantly clean hydropower for heating and power consumption and the fact that approximately 70 % of daily trips in Oslo are made by public transport, walking and cycling. Oslo is a quite compact city with short distances and a functioning public transport system offering frequent departures. There is an absence of GHG intensive industrial production in Oslo and this also contributes to the low emissions rate. The City of Oslo has committed to take action against global warming and has set up a goal of reducing GHG emissions by 50 per cent from the 1990 level by 2020 and 95 per cent by 2030 (without offset trading). Oslo has phased in several zero emission solutions, such as a large scale roll-out of zero emission vehicles, a bus fleet on renewables and fossil-free district heating. | 1 | 19,881 |

Which of the following risk types are considered in your organization's climate-related risk assessments? | Our measure of success is to achieve at least 80% response rate in CDP supply chain program. In 2019 the outcome of this engagement was 100% response rate, allowing PMI to be listed in CDP Supplier Engagement Leaderboard. The information received from CDP supply chain program was used to fine tune our carbon footprint model in 2019. We engaged suppliers to collect primary data, CO2 emissions reduction strategy, and projects' glidepath pertaining to our direct materials, with 27% increase of suppliers engaged (vs. previous year in number of suppliers). The CO2 emission reductions in our direct materials supply chain contributed to 12% of our 2019 reduction across our value chain. PMI recently established new and more ambitious carbon neutrality targets. To support the achievement of these targets, we will further expand this supplier engagement to other supply chain material categories. Our tobacco suppliers are contractually required to implement our Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) program. To assess suppliers' conformity against GAP, the Sustainable Tobacco Program (STP) is used, incl. an annual supplier's self-assessment and on-site reviews performed by AB Sustain, an independent company. Suppliers report on metrics and performance related to water and GHG emissions reductions, among other environmental indicators. Access to this data allows for internal benchmark, as well as selection and deployment of strategic initiatives in collaboration with suppliers. We expect our suppliers to demonstrate yearly continuous improvements, which are reflected in suppliers' scorecards, together with STP assessments results, and used to make future decisions such as tobacco purchase volume allocation through our supplier base. GAP is also the foundation to increase resilience of tobacco crops to climate change. We have a measure of success to reduce the GHG emission intensity related to tobacco curing by 70% by 2020 (vs. 2010 baseline). We are on track with a 61% reduction achieved in 9 years (2010-2019). A monitoring and verification framework was launched in 2016 across our leaf supply chain to monitor and verify the impact of the more than 40 initiatives being implemented. These initiatives support the achievement of our target by eliminating the use of coal and non-sustainable firewood, promoting the use of alternative wood fuels and improving curing efficiency. | 0 | 343,119 |

Please describe these current and/or anticipated impacts of climate change. | In order to help Quebecers switch to cleaner means of transportation, the Government has invested over the last decade almost $1.2 billion CAD to improve mass transit services and the development of alternative transport (car-pooling, car sharing services, walking and cycling infrastructures). As a result, urban mass transit service offers jumped by 24.5% during this period while ridership increased by 16%. Ridership is continuing to grow at a rate of roughly 2% per year while the number of trips recorded has risen even faster (7% in 2013). In the next decade, over $8 billion CAD will be invested to increase and improve mass transit services in Québec.The government also launched in the fall of 2013, the Véloce program ($43 million CAD investment up to 2020) which seeks to intensify the establishment of transportation infrastructure (pedestrian and bicycle networks) that promotes active travel in urban environments.Railroads and navigable waterways in Quebec makes it possible to use less energy to transport freight compared to road transport. The "Programme visant la réduction ou l’évitement des émissions de GES par le développement du transport intermodal" (PREGTI) will have injected $41 million CAD by 2020 to establish intermodal projects and to the promotion maritime and rail services.The Government also has a goal to have 100 000 electric vehicles on Québec roads by 2020 and 1 million by 2030. To accomplish this, a budget of $420 million CAD has been allocated to the Transportation Electrification Action Plan 2015-2020. Finally, the Government unanimously adopted in 2016 an Act to increase the number of zero-emission motor vehicles in order to reduce greenhouse gas and other pollutant emissions. As a result, like 10 U.S. states, including California and several northeastern states, Québec has invested itself with the power to adopt a regulation commonly called the “ZEV standard,” which encourages automakers to improve their ZEV offer.
