1 Baltic Ports Organization, Lübeck 2008 City Ports for Better Climate – C40 Initiative Christel Wiman CEO, Ports of Stockholm

2 Clinton Climate Initiative & the C 40 Climate Leadership Group 2006 CCI – Clinton Climate Initiative - stands for a business- oriented approach to the fight against climate change in practical, measurable and significant ways. Climate Leadership Group – C 40 Cities – an alliance of the world´s largest cities committed to tackling climate change. Cities consume 75 % of the world´s energy and produce 80 % of its greenhouse gas emissions.

3 C 40 & CCI 2006 – The first C 40 Summit – the cooperation starts 2007 The second Summit - the largest cities meet to discuss greenhouse gas emissions 2007 Workshop on transport and congestion 2008 Workshop on carbon from ground based airport emissions 2008 Conference on world pors and cimate change in Rotterdam 2009 C 40 Summit in Seoul

4 C 40 & CCI program Cities together with building owners, banks, energy- service companies – to make changes to existing buildings to reduce greenhouse gas emissions Direct assistance to individual cities, sharing best practise, organize a purchasing consortium to help cities buy energy efficient technologies, create a measurement and information tool to help cities take an inventory of energy use to help

5 The world Port conference in Rotterdam ”World ports for a better climate” City ports are often situated in densely populated areas. Sustainability has become the ports ”licence to operate” Big port have more responsibility to set example If joint position – facilitates international environment regulations

6 Rotterdam Climate Initiative The municipality, the port, the DCMR Environmental Protection Agency Rijnmond and Deltalinqs - have joined in the vision to become a low-CO 2 city and energy port; the world capital of CO 2 – free energy. The common goal in Rotterdam is to reduce CO 2 emissions by 50 % in 2025 as compared with 1990 To create economic opportunities with respect to CO 2 for trade, industry and the port.

7 Three days of environment Ports & infrastructure authorities,, cities, EU, terminaloperators, shipping companies joined and discussed sustainable growth. Energy savings Cleaner energy Renewable energy Sustainable transports Corporate Social Responsibility ”Big steps – Small Footprint”

8 World Ports for A Better Climate Conclusions from World Ports Climate Conference in Rotterdam The ports agreed in a Resolution that we are… Aware that there is strong evidence that connects greenhouse gas emissions to the devastating effects of global climate change; Noting that transport through ports, port operations and industrial acitivities at ports contribute to greenhouse gas emissions; Mindful that ports occupy a unique place as key ”hubs” in global supply chains, which enables them to influence the sustainability of those supply chains;

9 Recognizing that measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions may be effectively combined with measures that reduce emissions of local air pollutants and operating costs; Further Recognizing that no one-size-fits-all solution exists for ports with their large variations in port managment structures, emissions sources and local conditions; and Concluding that ports in this respect have many opportunities and the responsibility to contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions,

10 The world Ports Climate Declaration addresses: Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from ocean- going shipping Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from port operations and development Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from hinterland transport Enhancement of the use of renewable energy Development and auditing of CO2 inventories

11 Next step IAPH, International Association of Ports and Harbours will co- ordinate the world ports in the environmental work. The regional port organisations (ESPO and BPO) will co-ordinate the environmental efforts in its region

12 Growth leads to welfare and room for development but has downsides Hard pressure of the infrastructure and capacity Gridlock on roads, rails and ports Environmental impact and disturbances

13 Ports of Stockholm in a ”nut shell”  10.000 port calls/year - 27 ships/day  9 – 12 milj tonnes/year  414 000 trailers – 1134 units /day  11,3 million ferry- and cruise passengers/year - 31.000/day  4 million local passengers – 11.000/day  International cruises, 270 calls 2008  936 000 cars/year – 2600 cars/day International cruises – a growing global business That is dependant on good environment

14 Stockholm – A city with high standards and high demands on environment A regatta in front of the City hall

15 The Vision of the City of Stockholm 2050No fossil fuel in Stockholm 2015Emmissions from green house gas reduced by 3 ton per person 2009-2011 A project starts to give the citizens of Stockholm the means and possibility to act Climate Neutral

16 The environmental work in the Ports of Stockholm 1985 Ship to shore electricity for vessels/Viking Line 1990 Low sulphur bunker oil 1995 Rebates for shipowners and oil companies for vessels with double hull/bottom 1996 Cathalytic engines on the ferries 1997- 2002 sewage water is pumped directly into the sewage system at Stockholm Vatten. 1998Differentiated port dues for environmental reasons 2000 Environmental buoy and diploma 2002 Differentiated port dues for the cruise vessels waste management 2006 More of ship to shore electricity – Tallink 2006 Geothermal heating for the buildings

17 Vision: Port of Stockholm a Leading Gateway in the Baltic and a leading Green Port of the world
