INTERACT-Bio is a project designed for improving the utilization and management of nature within fast-growing cities and the regions surrounding them. It aims to provide expanding urban communities in the Global South with nature-based solutions and associated long-term benefits.The project will enable governments at all levels – from local to national – to integrate their efforts for mainstreaming biodiversity and ecosystem services into core subnational government functions such as spatial planning, land-use management, local economic development and infrastructure design.The project will support city-regions to understand and unlock, within their specific local context, the potential of nature to provide essential services and new or enhanced economic opportunities, while simultaneously protecting and enhancing the biodiversity and ecosystems on which these services and opportunities depend. In doing so, these actions will place the participating city-regions on a more resilient and sustainable development path.

The climate issue has led us, in collaboration with nine other municipalities in southern Skåne, to develop a common Circular Plan with a greater focus on reuse than we have had before. This plan gives us great opportunities to reduce resource use throughout the area. This also will reduce emissions from product manufacturing. Cooperation with the other municipalities is also important for the municipality's brand.

Provide details of your absolute emissions target(s) and progress made against those targets.
HanesBrands has set a long term global corporate goal to reduce absolute CO2e emissions by 50% or 202,474 metric tons by 2030 versus its 2007 normalized baseline emissions, which represents an average annual reduction of 3.0% vs. its 2007 baseline year and 9.4% versus its 2013 start year, both of which are greater than the 2.1% required by CDP. As of year-end 2019, the company has achieved 84.0% of its 2030 goal. This reduction is the result of significantly increasing use of renewable energy while reducing energy use. To date, the company has not formally developed science-based targets as defined by the Science Based Targets initiative. We believe that our aggressive target is aligned with the intent of the Science Based Target initiative and will formally commit to implementing science-based targets by 2022.

Globally, biomass is considered carbon neutral for the purposes of GHG accounting due to its ability to remove CO2 from the atmosphere and store it, releasing it back to the atmosphere during combustion or decay. This accounting method has recently been challenged by groups concerned about the potential depletion of forests if biomass is considered a carbon neutral fuel. Alternate proposed accounting methodologies advance the use of future anticipated baselines, rather than actual baseline data, and smaller spatial scales and time frames which are not consistent with the spatial scales and time frames typically associated with the forest carbon cycle or international practice. Approximately 2/3 of WestRock's (and the broader pulp and paper industry) CO2 emissions are biogenic.

During severe storms, emergency evacuations pose health risks to older adults, especially those with limited mobility who cannot use elevators during power outages. Evacuations may be complicated by the need for concurrent transfer of medical records, medications, and medical equipment. Some individuals with disabilities may also be disproportionally affected if they are unable to access evacuation routes, have difficulty in understanding or receiving warnings of impending danger, or have limited ability to communicate their needs.

We have not yet investigated this as a Scope 3 source, and therefore do not know its relevance to our business. We are aware of an emerging effort to decide the carbon content of various financial instruments. We stay on top of the latest developments by engaging with leaders in this field, such as HIP Investors and Ecofys. To date, there is no accepted methodology to determine the carbon footprint of common financial instruments held by insurers such as U.S. Treasury bills, specific municipal bonds, CMBS (Commercial Backed Mortgage Securities) or RMBS (Residential BackedMortgage Securities.) We are not aware of any effort currently to begin the work to build a credible methodology to capture the carbon content of most of the above-named financial instruments.

Boulder has long understood the importance of local climate action. Boulder’s residents and businesses were among the first in the country to implement programs like the Climate Action Plan Tax (CAP Tax) and a host of other energy efficiency and conservation programs. Some of these, including EnergySmart, SmartRegs and the Building Performance Ordinance, are being replicated elsewhere as they begin to achieve the full benefits of their implementation locally. Others, like a localcarbon offset fund and changing our energy supply from fossil fuels to renewable sources through the possible creation of a local electric utility, are still taking shape. As communities become more aware of the importance of local action, there has been an emerging focus on access to accurate and timely data. Boulder has been working at the regional and state-levels to identify and remove certain barriers to effectively track and report emissions-related activities. Boulder's efforts have helped to remove many of these barriers while simultaneously providing lessons learned and best practices for other communities in our region, country, and abroad, many of which Boulder is working with the further climate change efforts. Boulder participates in regional and national consortiums addressing climate change including Rocky Mountain Climate Organization and was a founding member of the Colorado Communities for Climate Action (CC4CA). Boulder is active in the Mayor's National Climate Action Agenda, and participates in climate-related actions with ICLEI, the Colorado Municipal League, National League of Cities, Metro Mayors, ICMA and the Denver Regional Council of Governments, Urban Sustainability Directors Network, Carbon Neutral Cities Alliance, National Association of Clean Air Agencies and the Ellen Macarthur Foundation.This is a critical time for our environment and our community--but it is also an exciting time. Once again, our community is positioned to be a leader.

In 2016 AbbVie decided to take a leadership approach to climate change by setting new aggressive targets to reduce emissions. Our GHG reduction target is to reduce emissions 25% absolute, by 2025 with a 2015 baseline. All GHG targets are combined scope 1 and 2 market based. It should be noted that the CO2 emissions associated with the acquisition of Stemcentrx and Pharmacyclics are not included in the target calculation because they were not included in the 2015 baseline. The CO2 emissions from these two businesses account for less than 1% of the total AbbVie CO2 emissions.

Given that about 40% of GHG emissions in the U.S. come from transportation, vehicles that run on natural gas and electricity can be instrumental in improving the environment. Through our utility SDG&E, we work with customers on how to integrate electric vehicles and charging infrastructure into homes and work environments. In addition, the natural gas vehicle (NGV) program provides information, education and training to operators of NGVs and nearly 350 NGV refueling stations located throughout Southern California. Alternative fuel vehicles reduce scope 1 emissions for third parties. In 2018, SoCalGas and SDG&E delivered 171 million therms to customers operating NGVs and NGV refueling stations, equivalent to 137 million gallons of gasoline, which reduced CO2e emissions by approximately 305,000 tons per year. Through the Power your Drive program, SDG&E is installing more than 3,000 electric vehicle charging stations in support of the California governor's goal of 500,000 zero emissions vehicles in its service territory by 2030. As of the end of 2018, 2,818 charging units had been installed in SDG&E's service territory, leading to avoided emissions from gasoline-powered vehicles.

If our products do not meet energy efficiency regulations and standards, there is potential for this to result in reduced demand for our products and decreased sales. The extent of energy performance on final procurement decisions and hence the impact on revenue is unclear. However, as a worst case example, our total equipment sales market share is ~$2.20 Billion and we estimate sales of our products with an eco-label is ~$1.7Billion. If Xerox took no action to meet more stringent requirements introduced by applicable energy efficient regulations or the ENERGY STAR standard within the required timeframe, and our competitors' products become more favorable to customers than our products with an eco-label, a significant proportion of this market share could be at risk. A decrease in equipment sales will also have a secondary financial impact due to decreased sales of associated consumables, such as replacement toner cartridges and other post sales services such as maintenance.

The tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus), which can carry the viruses responsible for dengue fever, chikungunya and zyka, is spreading in temperate regions. In 2015, observation of the tiger mosquito in Paris, followed by mosquito control operations. From 2016, implementation of reinforced entomological surveillance. Implantation of the tiger mosquito in Paris at the end of 2018, with no cases of indigenous arbovirosis reported. This is linked in particular to a vector population that is too low and concentrated in a single district on the outskirts of Paris. The common mosquito Culex sp. which can be a vector of the West Nile virus, is already established in Paris, but the virus is not circulating there. This arbovirosis, on the other hand, has been present in the Mediterranean basin for several years. The strengthening of the role of water and nature in cities as part of adaptation to climate change entails an increased risk of the tiger mosquito becoming established or of the stronger presence of the common mosquito. Preventive actions (surveillance of mosquito implantation or control once the mosquito has been implanted, investigations following reported cases, training of health professionals, public information, etc.), within the framework of national regulations, which are the responsibility of the ARS (Régional Health Agengy), are also increasing and could limit the risk. The city has an expert entomologist, who is responsible for communication on the fight against mosquito nuisances for city employees (high-risk occupations) and the public, and participates in coordination on surveillance and vector control. This issue is taken into account in several city policies (Environmental health Plan, Biodiversity Plan, Local health contract, Resilience Strategy, etc.) and in urban projects.The incidence of Lyme borreliosis is relatively low in Ile-de-France compared to other French regions. However, it seems to be on the increase in metropolitan France and there is a risk of expansion in Paris for several reasons: movement of ticks northwards (and in altitude) due to climatic changes (milder winters, too hot and dry summers in southern regions), increase in the period of tick activity, increase in nature in cities (favourable to the presence of ticks), increase in activities in forests/parks.

An increase in bushfire weather conditions across the Greater Sydney Region could lead to business interruption and economic loss within the LGA due to interrupted accessibility in and out the City and strain on resources and services. This risk addresses bushfires continuing to cause extensive property and infrastructure damage across the Greater Sydney Region with cascading impacts on the LGA, including: ? Damage to the transport network delaying or stranding CBD workers. ? Limited availability of emergency response and social services within the CBD due to transfer of capacity to regional disaster zones. ? Decrease in tourism due to reduced appeal of attraction on Sydney’s fringe. ? Reduced productivity and economic loss due to CBD workers and LGA workforce taking leave to volunteer or defend property. ? Contaminated water supply.

As our production facilities consume 5-10% of their energy for heating and cooling purposes, a change in average temperature, would increase HVAC costs, impacting the cost of operations. We estimate that for every degree Farenheit of increased mean temperature, our HVAC costs would rise by 6-8% monthly on average. The potential financial impact of $738,057 USD represents the additional cost in a year in which mean temperatures have risen by 1 degree Farenheit. This amount takes into account estimated decreased energy needs for heating and 3% loss of productivity due to decreased productivity of workers and the effect increased temperatures have on manufacturing equipment.

A current issue is that during heavy precipitation, uncleaned sewage runs into the city's rivers and the fjord, which can cause water-borne diseases. Due to this the city warns the population to not swim in rivers and the fjord 24 hours after these events. Projections suggest that new species in water due to higher temperatures in the fjord can cause wound infections. In a medium-term perspective the probability of injuries caused by heavy precipitation is increasing, however the city plan for managing storm water and urban flooding to prevent this from happening. Higher temperatures increases the probability of invasive vector-borne species. In addition, higher temperatures and drought affects the public health, especially small children, eldery and persons with medical conditions. Also outdoor workers will suffer during higher temperatures.

5% of City of Hamilton residents rely on private wells that many times are not properly maintained. These wells have the potential to be greatly impacted by drought conditions. The first to be affected are the shallow aquifers that will experience limited recharge and increased demand. For the Greensville Rural Settlement Area we completed a detailed Water Budget as the assessment of the source revealed a high degree of stress within the subwatershed and shown that under drought conditions of (only) 2 years the shallow wells can experience a drop in water levels of 7m. This drop is considered significant as some of the residential wells do not have a great water column available or the well cannot be operated at very low water levels. Also an increase in extreme weather events is expected to increase flooding and soil erosion. This will result in degraded surface water quality due to the suspension of sediments, nutrients and pesticides.

Host is strategically investing in on-site energy generation to hedge against increases in the cost of energy in key markets. For example, all of our hotels in Hawaii have solar photovoltaic systems to generate on-site energy either in place or in development. We have also invested in on-site co-generation and steam-to-gas conversion systems at hotels in our New York and Texas markets.We enter into forward purchase agreements to hedge against cost increases in fuel, energy and commodities. Currently, we hedge up to 50% of our exposure to energy costs. Using our ISO 14001 certified EMS, we evaluate the entire consolidated portfolio on a quarterly basis to identify energy reduction opportunities and investment in capital expenditures to increase energy efficiency within our portfolio.In 2019, we continued to partner with our brands to support them in reducing food waste, which is economically inefficient and a significant part of their waste streams. For example, Marriott has set a public goal to reduce food waste by 50% from 2016-2025. We also continue to work with our EPA SmartWay® logistics providers and suppliers to optimize sourcing and distribution of products such as case goods, to manage risks associated with increased shipping costs. We have estimated past shipping cost savings of nearly 40% through this program.COST CALCULATION: In 2019, we invested nearly $55 million in completed emissions reduction projects that help reduce our exposure to price volatility. These investments have helped Host to reduce emissions per square foot by nearly 40% since 2008.

This is under the replacement is technically feasible and does not lead to additional costs. In the case of a one-to-one replacement with a heating system, the proportion of non-renewable energy used in the building must be reduced by at least 20 percent. This can be achieved through efficiency measures (reduction of energy use through measures in consumption) or substitution with renewable energy. The obligation to reduce consumption by 20 percent does not apply to buildings with Minergie certification or which achieve at least class C in the GEAK energy performance certificate

Is your city implementing any retrofit programs addressing existing commercial, residential and/or municipal buildings?
For the renovation of municipal buildings,the City is setting ambitious renovation targets for its most energy inefficient buildings with a view to reducing the energy consumption of its entire building stock by 40% in 2030. In this perspective, it will launch a long-term renovation programme for its most energy-inefficient buildings including 300 primary schools, 40 secondary schools and 15 swimming pools. In 2020, the City of Paris will draft a Master Plan for the Energy Efficiencyof Public Buildings (Schéma Directeur de Performance Énergétique des Bâtiments Publics) in order to optimise the management of its property assets. For the residential sector, the City of Paris will continue to support social housing providers in their efforts to renovate their stock on a massive scale. The target is to reduce energy consumption by 35% in all social housing stock by 2030 and 50% by 2050 in relation to 2004, taking account of all improvements made. To achieve these targets, the number of renovations is increased to 5,000 housing units per year from 2020, which will require in particular that the investment capacities of lessors be guaranteed by the State.Furthermore, the energy-efficiency projects of residents of jointly owned properties in Paris currently receive support from the City and the Paris Climate Agency, in particular via the “Eco-rénovons Paris” scheme which contributes to reducing energy consumption and combating fuel poverty. This programme and those carried out by the APC will need to be stepped up and adapted in order to boost the rate of energy renovations. For the tertiary sector, the major specialized operators and large corporations must continue to renovate their assets and will be able to benefit from the impetus provided by the Paris Climate Action Charter. In addition, the City of Paris will establish a specific support programme for renovations carried about by small-scale tertiary/service sector operators (e.g. shops, self-employed professionals, etc.) after 2020.
