Climate Action. Article 92 The Parties shall develop and strengthen their cooperation to combat climate change. Cooperation shall be conducted considering the interests of the Parties on the basis of equality and mutual benefit and taking into account the interde pendence existing between bilateral and multilateral commitments in this field.
Climate Action. 1. The Parties agree to undertake climate action to address adaptation, mitigation, as well as means of implementation and be focused on the most vulnerable countries, including Small Island Developing States, Low-lying Coastal States, Least Developed Countries and Land Locked Developing Countries.
Climate Action. 1. The Parties shall pursue the objectives and be guided by the principles of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. They shall enact comprehensive and inclusive domestic climate policies and programmes to accelerate the implementation of the Paris Agreement.
Climate Action. 1. The Parties, recalling the objectives, principles and provisions of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris Agreement, adopted under the Convention, and stressing the need to step up the global efforts to tackle climate change in light of the findings of the Special Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change on the impacts of global warming of 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, agree to contribute to global emission reduction, in line with keeping the increase in global average temperature to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre- industrial levels and pursue efforts to limit global warming to a 1.5 degree Celsius pathway. They recognise the importance of reaching net zero global anthropogenic emissions as soon as possible. They commit, to this end, to successive Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) that will represent a progression beyond their current NDCs and reflect their highest possible ambition, in light of different national circumstances, and reaffirm their objective of each achieving climate neutrality by 2050.
Climate Action adaptation: adaptation solutions assessments; screening of projects for climate sensitivities; climate risk and vulnerability assessment; cost benefit analyses of adaptation options, advise on institutional arrangements for climate resilience; adaptation and resilience planning; approaches for managing physical climate risk in operations.
Climate Action. The EU’s Common agricultural (CAP) policy framework has been using the term “climate action” since the 2014-2020 period. This phrase highlights the need for actual action in relation to climate change. Three dimensions of climate action - mitigation, adaptation, and carbon sinks: agriculture is impacted by climate change, so that adaptation to climate change is a critical part of climate action. Agriculture is also an emitter of greenhouse gases (GHG). The agricultural sector must reduce these emissions, thus contributing to mitigation of climate change. An additional contribution from the sector to climate change mitigation is the preservation and enhancement of carbon sinks. Carbon sinks are of critical importance in agriculture, and are therefore considered as a third dimension of climate action. Carbon sinks are the LULUCF (land use, land use change and forestry) component of the United Nations Conference on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Broader agricultural sector: climate action in the agricultural sector can take place on agricultural holdings, in value chains and at the level of consumers. The relevant sector is therefore the agrifood sector. The forestry sector is an equally critical element of climate action since forests and farmland should be jointly considered when it comes to carbon sinks. Climate-smart agriculture: climate action is defined as actions that contribute to any of the three above dimensions. In the agricultural sector, a range of activities can jointly contribute to adaptation, mitigation and/or carbon sinks. The term climate-smart agriculture describes these win-win situations. Climate resilience. Resilience to climate change means not only capacity to recover from impacts such as extreme climatic events, but also operating significant changes to reduce the vulnerability of agricultural systems, farms and food systems. Many of these changes increase resilience to climate change as well as resilience to economic external shocks and crisis.
Climate Action. The Consultants will incorporate CAP strategies, measures, and actions that result in GHG emissions reductions in appropriate elements of the General Plan. The Consultants will also build upon the descriptions, measures, and actions of climate change risks included in the CAP and recommend policies throughout the General Plan Elements to address climate change impacts.
Climate Action. The use of renewable resources in the bioeconomy reduces the use of fossil-based resources and their related GHG emissions • SDG 14: Life below water: Here, especially the blue bioeconomy leads to better and sustainable use of marina fauna and flora • SDG 15: Life on land: The bioeconomy can support the combat against desertification, halt and reverse land degradation, limit and stop biodiversity loss and promotes sustainable management of forests and natural resources. Naturally, there are also risks and challenges when developing the bioeconomy: Increased competition between the use of biomass for chemicals, materials, products, energy and food and feed, pressure on water and land for growing more biomass, threats to natural assets of small-scale farmers, or unequal access to the benefits of a developed bioeconomy. But given the proper circumstances and frameworks, the bio-based economy can make large contributions to achieving the SDGs and fulfilling societal needs. These opportunities are also reflected in the key messages and recommendations in this document. Building on the BioCannDo project A BBI-JU project running parallel to RoadToBio, named “The Bioeconomy Awareness and Discourse Project” (BioCannDo), developed a thorough approach to formulate key messages about the bioeconomy for consumers. Subsequently, key messages were formulated for three exemplary product categories: bio-based household cleaning products, bio-based insulation materials and bio-based food packaging. This process revealed that it is most convenient to provide general key messages, that can be further adapted by the producers to fit their specific products and audience, which might for example be industrial customers or end consumers. This way, what is not relevant or true for specific products can be omitted and specific characteristics of products can be highlighted. The wording of the messages can be adapted to the addressees, since industrial customers and end consumers require different communication and marketing strategies. Consequently, in this report we provide key messages that are of general relevance but not formulated for a specific audience. Furthermore, we provide background information for each key message to substantiate their claims and to provide starting points for customisation. Developing key messages and recommendations for the chemical industry The results of the BioCannDo project were incorporated and combined with the findings of the prior, above-ment...
Climate Action. Reduce community and municipal Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions. Transportation is the only category that showed negative progress from the last climate plan; thus much more work needs to be done in this area. The Climate Action Plan identifies Diverse and Accessible Transportation Options as one of the actionable solutions, specifically Solution J: Increase Walking, Bicycling, Carpooling, and Use of Transit. Streamline helps build a “Sustainable Environment” by taking more vehicles off the road, by reducing overall carbon emissions, and by advocating for the addition of an electric and/or alternative fuel bus to the overall fleet. Streamline has a positive impact on Bozeman’s overall Greenhouse Gas Emissions as identified in the Bozeman Climate Plan and will support the goals outlined in multiple city plans, including the Triangle Plan, Downtown Bozeman Plan, Transportation Master Plan, and the Bozeman Community Plan. Additionally, HRDC knows that when you have a good transit system it helps xxxxxx solutions for the housing crisis, overall community health, inclusivity, equity, and diversity, therefore, it should be considered as part of the infrastructure of the community. Transit should also be a part of the conversations around Investment in infrastructure. Aside from Streamline’s role in addressing traffic congestion and parking shortages, another way that Streamline has a direct benefit to all citizens is by providing convenient access to health care facilities. Accessing healthcare was noted as one of the three main issues identified in the Gaps Analysis for Equity Indicators Project. Access to health care provides opportunities and resources needed to improve and maintain ones health. The American Hospital Association (AHA) Task Force recommends “that access to a baseline level of high‐quality, safe, and effective services should be preserved and protected within all communities”, they go on to list transportation as one of the essential health care services to ensure that care is equitable and works to eliminate disparities. The Equity Indicators Report found that Streamline has a role in diversity, equity, and inclusion within our community. It states “An equitable transit system must consider the holistic transit rider…” The Streamline routes were recently redesigned and this included a great deal of public input. The new routes now provide bi‐directional service, an additional route connecting the west side of town, and increased hours of operati...
