Councils sign up for Climate Change initiative
Launch of Communities for Climate Protection programme.
---------------------------------
Energy Minister and Convenor of the Ministerial Group on Climate Change, =
Pete Hodgson, today launched the Communities for Climate Protection =
(CCP) programme.
The Minister welcomed the first New Zealand councils to sign up to CCP: =
"I'm delighted to see so much interest in this Ministry for the =
Environment programme," says Mr Hodgson. "Councils are ideally placed to =
lead local action on climate change within the community and I hope more =
will join this initiative."
Waitakere City Council, Kapiti Coast District Council, Christchurch City =
Council and Masterton District Council are the first to sign up to this =
international programme to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Through the =
programme, participating councils take a multi step approach to reducing =
emissions:
=B7 Developing emissions inventories
=B7 Setting targets for reductions
=B7 Developing action plans to achieving this, and
=B7 Ongoing monitoring against targets.
Action to reduce emissions can be taken by councils on a number of =
fronts including; waste management, sustainable transport, urban design, =
air quality, energy efficiency and sustainable land use and planning.
The international nature of the programme means New Zealand councils can =
tap into a broad range of best practice and experience in this field. =
The programme is complimentary to the Climate Change Office's provision =
of extensive guidance to Councils and the Energy Efficiency and =
Conservation Authority's (EECA) EnergyWise Councils Partnership.
Councils interested in receiving further information on the CCP =
programme should contact the New Zealand Climate Change Office on =
in...@climatechange.govt.nz or visit: www.climatechange.govt.nz
