Vertical Co-ordination Sample Clauses

Vertical Co-ordination. ‌ Capacity At the national level, the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) is responsible for developing overarching strategies to achieve the goals of the UK’s Climate Change Act, and for co-ordinating cross-government policy to achieve it. However, only one of BEIS’ five main objectives relates to this issue (‘ensure the UK has a reliable, low cost and clean energy system’), with the remainder focused on business and competitiveness (BEIS, 2020a). Evidence suggests that climate change mitigation is not a top priority in BEIS, and emphasis is instead given to promoting and saving businesses – a focus that is likely to intensify in the wake of Covid-19 (Xxxxx et al, 2020). The DfT and its agencies set policy and regulation for all modes of transport in the UK, including active travel. The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) is responsible for spatial planning and sub-national authorities in England. The Treasury (the UK’s Ministry of Finance) is responsible for tax policy and broad allocations of budget to other government departments. Although the term ‘sustainability’ is used, none of the key objectives of these departments explicitly references decarbonisation (or direct synonyms) (DfT, 2020d; HMT, 2020; MHCLG, 2020). Despite its stated role in cross- government co-ordination, BEIS holds few levers to compel the development of strategy and policy in other key departments, and there are relatively few examples of cross-departmental processes or bodies dedicated to decarbonisation efforts; a key exception is the Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV), operated jointly by BEIS and DfT, to support the market for ULEVs (including through administering the Plug-in Grant) (Xxxxx et al, 2020). The Climate Change Committee (previously Committee on Climate Change, before November 2020) was created by the Climate Change Act 2008 with a purpose to advise the UK and devolved governments on climate change action. Specifically, it: (a) provides independent advice on setting and meeting carbon budgets and preparing for climate change; (b) monitors progress in reducing emissions and achieving carbon budgets and targets; (c) conducts independent analysis into climate change science, economics and policy; and (d) engages with a wide range of organisations and individuals to share evidence and analysis. The Government and national authorities may also request specific advice from the Committee on an ad-hoc basis (CCC, 20...

Vertical Co-ordination. ‌ Capacity The German federal government has stressed the importance of multi-level approaches in tackling sustainability related topics and has stressed, in its statement at the 2016’ ‘Agenda 2030 High Level Political Forum’, that states and cities should be included in the German sustainability process (German Federal Government, 2016). In addition, there are several mechanisms by which cities have the possibility to coordinate with higher political levels. Freiburg is a member of the Baden Württemberg Association of cities (Städtetag), which represents the interests of its members vis-à-vis the state of Baden-Württemberg, the federal government and the European Union (Städetag Baden Württemberg, 2020). Freiburg is also a member of the German Association of Cities (Deutscher Städtetag), which supports cities in effectively executing their right to local self-government. The German Association of Cities works to ensure that the federal government, state governments and European Union strengthen cities in local self-governance (Städtetag, 2020). In addition, Freiburg engages in the Bund Länder Austausch, the formalised informal mechanism between the federal government and the states to exchange on sustainability progress in several policy areas.
