About ClimactRegions

Website: http://www.climactregions.eu

In the global context of fighting against climate change, the European Union (EU) has committed itself to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by at least 20% by 2020.  The ClimactRegions project is part of this dynamic and aims to strengthen regional capacity to develop and implement policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG).

Objectives:

• enable Regions to efficiently monitor and observe greenhouse gases
• develop regional policies for greenhouse gas mitigation using good governance processes
• strengthen the dialogue between Regions and the EU on climate change policies and their implementation in the field.

Activities

The identification of good practices in terms of GHG reduction in European regions is the main focus of the ClimactRegions project. These good practices include:

• the observation of GHG emissions
• the development of policies to reduce GHG emissions
• regional governance.

The ClimactRegions project will develop assessment methodologies and will produce guides in three areas: GHG observatory, regional policies and governance. This will be based on the exchange of experiences and good practices identified by partners, the recommendations, aimed at developing specific actions to reduce GHG emissions in the territories, can then be used by policy makers.

• Sustainable Mobility
  Atelier Mobilite Durable
  19 October 2011, 14:00-16:00, Lyon, France

  This conference on sustainable mobility has been organised by Rhônalpénergie-Environnement (RAEE) and the Rhône-Alpes Region within the framework of the European project ClimactRegions.

  Transport is the sector that most emits carbon dioxide (26% of GES emissions in France, 34% of carbon dioxide*). Road transport remains the principal responsible for these numbers. Technical advances, together with an increasingly restrictive regulation, have made vehicles less fuel-consuming and less polluting. But if vehicles consume and pollute less, road traffic, on the other hand, increases. Thus global carbon dioxide emissions by road transport have remained around 130Mt since 2001 (17% above their 1990 level*). It is then necessary to take action over urban and interurban traffics in order to regulate their growth. This issue naturally falls into the scope of the European project ClimactRegions, as it aims at feeding regional policies of fight against greenhouse effect.
