Climate Protection and Renewable Energy:
Medium and Small Communities facing the Challenge
Event: The Rovigo 2008 Climate Conference is part of a series of ICLEI Climate Conferences for local governments and their stakeholders. In Stockholm in 2006 the conference focus was on ambitious targets and exemplary actions of advanced communities. During Future with Zero CO2 Emissions‚ it was illustrated how cities and towns can become active in different sectors, to become zero carbon communities.
This year in Rovigo, climate protection in small and medium sized communities that are starting up in this important field will be explored. Several advanced local governments will share their experiences showing how they have achieved results and identifying critical elements in the process. Rovigo 2008 is the event to attend to develop capacity of political decision-makers, municipal officers and other important local stakeholders that need to become involved in community climate protection action. To assist regions starting with climate protection, additional support will be provided to clusters of cities and towns, and their partners, that intend to work together in this important area.
The focus will be on effective climate protection action and integrating mitigation and adaptation, in particular addressing small and medium-sized communities in Europe.
Key areas addressed will include: energy conservation, energy efficiency, renewable energy, urban and land use planning, engagement of citizens and other local stakeholders to a more sustainable use of energy in their day-to-day activities, and adaptation to a changing climate.
