Abstract:
Insight is given into the local policy options with respect to climatechange, in this case within the sphere of influence of Amsterdam local
authorities. A list of new policy options for CO2-reduction has been made
with the assistance of local policy makers and representatives of interest
groups. These policy options have been divided into three qualitative
scenarios: Institutional Cultural Change, Technological Innovation and Least
Regrets. The environmental, economic and other effects have been described
for each policy option. The three most interesting policy options have been
selected by local policy makers and representatives of interest groups during
a workshop. Implementation strategies have been developed for the options
selected. These strategies have been discussed during a second workshop. The
reduction target, stabilization of CO2-emissions in 2015 compared to 1993,
can be realized by a combination of all the new policy options. The three
selected policy options count for 40% of this total CO2-emission reduction.
Finally, a general outline on the methodology to construct local policies for
climate protection has been described. This methodology can also be applied
to other cities and municipal administrators, e.g. participants of Cities for
Climate Protection, an initiative of the International Council for Local
Environmental Initiatives, or the Netherlands Climate Association. 136 refs.
