A report on the inclusion of Sustainable Energy and Climate Change in municipal Integrated Development Plans (GIZ & SALGA, 2015)
4.51mbDownloadThis report examines the sustainable energy development path of 18 key cities in South Africa. For the first time, data from over a decade provides the opportunity to track changes and identify possible trends emerging in the sustainable development of cites, particularly the metros (SEA, 2015).
13.42mbDownloadThis paper highlights how climate change issues need to be rooted in local realities that centre on avoiding or limiting impacts from, for instance, heat waves, heavy rainfall and storm surges and sea-level rise, and also the ecological changes and water supply constraints brought about by climate change. (Roberts, D. 2008)
0.48mbDownloadThis working paper examines the ideal role of city governments under a vertically integrated climate governance system designed to maximize urban mitigation potential.
2.45mbDownloadThe City has made institutional and strategy changes to address vulnerability to threats like poor energy security and climate change impacts, and to reduce its high carbon footprint. Energy2040 informs the sustainable energy action plan into the future (City of Cape Town, 2015).

The strategy is not prescriptive, but requires that municipalities adopt and adapt the broad strategic direction presented here, towards their own strategy and action plan.

1.29mbDownloadThis tool can be used to provide a quick overview of energy consumption and emissions by fuel, and electricity consumption and emissions by sector within a municipal area. It also provides a summary of the potential impact of major electricity efficiency interventions. (SEA, 2014)
0.41mbDownloadThis Protocol provides requirements and guidance for cities on preparing and publicly reporting a greenhouse gas (GHG) emission inventory. The primary goal is to provide a standardized step-by-step approach to help cities quantify their GHG emissions in order to manage and reduce their GHG impacts. The Protocol is in a pilot phase, with the release of the final version expected in 2014. It replaces the International Local Government GHG Emissions Analysis Protocol and the International Standard for Determining GHG Emissions for Cities.
