1. MADISON CLIMATE PROTECTION PLAN GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTION STRATEGIES Jayne Somers March 2001

2. Cities for Climate Protection Campaign Project Description n Funding: Grant from the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) n Final Plan approved by Common Council September 19, 2000 n Carbon dioxide and methane n Community as well as City government

3. Steps in Plan Development n Analyze Madison’s Greenhouse Gas Sources n Forecast Future Emissions n Establish Realistic Reduction Target n Develop Implementation Plan

4. Why Are Greenhouse Gases A Concern in Wisconsin? n Temperature Increase (~4F) n Heat Wave Increase n Air Conditioner Use and Power Plant Air Pollution Emissions Increase n Ground-level Ozone Increase n Precipitation Increase (15-20%) n More Short Intense Rain Storms Causing Flooding n Extent & Density of Forest Decreased (1-75%)

5. Benefits of Reducing Fossil Fuel Use n Save Money n Create Jobs/Local Economic Development n Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions n Reduce All Types of Air Pollution n Improve Energy Quality - Clean Renewable Sources n Reduce Traffic Congestion n Improve Quality of Life

6. AIR IMPACTS FROM FOSSIL FUEL COMBUSTION n VOC’s and NOx - Ozone n PM - Smog n SO 2 - Acid Rain n Toxics (Mercury) n CO 2 - Climate Change

12. Obstacles to Plan Approval and Implementation n No funding n No coordinated environmental department n Many measures already in place n State not on board yet

13. Existing Green Measures in Madison n Bicycle Programs n Bus System n RideShare (vanpools) n AFV Fleet Vehicles n Wind Power n Recycling n Composting n Landfill and Sewage Plant Gas Utilization n Building Audits

14. Key Factors for Plan Approval n Grant from ICLEI n Formation of Environmental Action Team n Alderperson “champion” n Mayor and City Council Support n No fiscal note on resolution n Progressive community

15. Implementation n Environmental Manager assigned 1/2 time n Utility and environmental group support n Some programs already starting!

16. Emphasis of Plan n Energy (Building retrofits and utility programs) n Transportation (Green Fleet & Clean Cities programs) n Waste Reduction (Ecoteams) n Trees (CityGreen) n Education and Outreach (Earth Day) n City Policies (TIF, Parking) n Applying for Grants (green bldgs., cleaner transport.)
