El Cambio Climático y las Acciones del Reino Unido El Cambio Climático es una de las amenazas más grandes que enfrentamos actualmente. Va a impactar la seguridad, la prosperidad y la equidad en el siglo. Hemos logrado reducir las emisiones más del 20% por debajo de los niveles de 1990. www.ukinmexico.fco.gov.uk
El Cambio Climático y las Acciones del Reino Unido Cambiar de carbón a gas, Eficiencia energética Régimen de Comercio de Derechos de Emisión de la Unión Europea Reducción de subsidios e incrementarlos impuestos a la energía/combustibles www.ukinmexico.fco.gov.uk
El Cambio Climático y las Acciones del Reino Unido El crecimiento verde es el futuro El crecimiento verde es muy posible en México. Mckinseys estima que México puede reducir sus emisiones alrededor de 30% con ganancias o cero perdidas. El Reino Unido va a ser un líder. Va a reducir sus emisiones en 80% para el 2025. Una gran parte de esto será gracias a más renovables, más energía nuclear y mayor eficiencia energética. El liderazgo político es vital, ese es nuestro trabajo. www.ukinmexico.fco.gov.uk
Acciones locales
Esquemas Bajos en Carbono Low Carbon Framework LCF Los low carbon frameworks (esquemas bajos en carbono) son un muy buen ejemplo de lo que hacen los gobiernos locales en el Reino Unido. Se escogieron 9 áreas con 30 gobiernos locales como piloto para realizar una serie de casos de estudio en diferentes temas relacionados al cambio climático. Representan una variedad de escalas, tipos de municipio, geografía y niveles de avance en temas de cambio climático. 1. The Association of Greater Manchester Authorities (AGMA) 2. Leeds City Region 3. Northumberland County Council 4. Nottingham City Council 5. Bristol City Council 6. Oxford City Council 7. The London Borough of Haringey 8. Plymouth Borough Council 9. The Dorset, Bournemouth and Poole Multi-area agreement.
Esquemas Bajos en Carbono Low Carbon Framework LCF La meta de los 9 pilotos fue: Integrar medidas para combatir el cambio climático en las actividades diarias de los municipios como ejemplo para las empresas, comercios y vecindarios. Alinear las políticas de reducción de carbono al crecimiento de la economía verde y la eficiencia del sector publico. Optimizar las contribuciones del municipio a los inventarios nacionales de carbono. Y asegurar que estos inventario se vean reflejados en la agenda lo cal del gobierno.
Esquemas Bajos en Carbono Low Carbon Framework LCF explorar las barreras y obstáculos que limitan a las autoridades locales para tomar decisiones. entender que es lo que se necesita para crear estrategias lograr compromisos por parte de todos los actores involucrados. Se hicieron mas de 40 casos de estudios enfocados entre otras cosas en : 1. Remodelación de vivienda y el pacto verde 2. Cambiar las actitudes de la comunidad 3. Reducir el uso del automóvil 4. Cambio climático 5. Generación sustentable de energía Estos ejemplos demuestran como los gobiernos locales son actores clave para ayudar a combatir el cambio climático.
