The document discusses enabling more sustainable cities through promoting sharing economies and one planet lifestyles. It provides examples of how cities can integrate sharing initiatives in areas like transportation, food, goods, housing and working. Partnerships between cities, businesses, and citizens are important to enhance sharing opportunities. A pathway is outlined that involves assessing status quo, mapping opportunities, visioning a one planet city, setting targets, stakeholder involvement, and evaluating impacts. The goal is to catalyze sustainable lifestyles and systems through city-level initiatives that create value rather than just mitigate risks.

Connecting public sector needs to water innovatorsEIP Water
This document summarizes a presentation given by Wim van Vierssen on connecting public sector water needs to innovators. It discusses how research collaborations have evolved over time, with more involvement from industry and other sectors. It also presents a new "Allied Waters" model of hybrid companies that brings together European research teams and businesses to develop game-changing water solutions through special purpose companies. The goal is to better bridge the gap between scientific research and practical applications to address important public needs.
The document discusses strategies for transitioning Oslo, Norway to a circular economy by 2030. It outlines goals such as reduced material consumption, green public procurement, and resource management. The city aims to develop a circular economy strategy that supports existing zero-emission targets and involves suppliers, citizens, industry, and other stakeholders. The strategy would also position the greater Oslo region as a metropolitan area committed to sustainability.
Valladolid is transitioning towards a circular economy with 3000 employees committed. The city signed the Seville Declaration in 2017 to promote circular economy among cities. Valladolid created a roadmap with 5 steps - define approach, make a diagnosis, raise awareness, promote circular businesses, and position the city as circular. It offers subsidies up to 25,000 euros for circular economy projects in areas like training, awareness, research, and new products. Over 50 projects have received funding. Valladolid also hosts a Circular Weekend event and will have a Circular Lab entrepreneurship hub. The city is a case study for the OECD programme on circular economies in cities.
The document discusses European cooperation with southern neighbors on environmental issues. It outlines the European Neighborhood Policy and its funding instrument, the European Neighborhood Instrument (ENI), which allocates €15.4 billion for 2014-2020. The ENI aims to strengthen prosperity, stability and security with neighboring countries. It focuses on issues like protecting the Mediterranean Sea, combating illegal wildlife trafficking, and promoting peace through environmental cooperation. The ENI provides regional, bilateral, and cross-border funding and lists several multi-million euro environmental programs supported in southern countries.
The EIB supports circular economy projects in cities through various financing and advisory programs. From 2013-2017, the largest shares of EIB circular economy lending went to industry/services (33%), water management (26%), and agriculture/bioeconomy (17%). Examples of EIB circular city initiatives include the Green Metropole Fund in Amsterdam and advisory support for Kolding Municipality in Denmark to develop circular economy strategies and projects. The EIB categorizes circular economy projects as circular design/production, circular use/life extension, circular value recovery, and circular support.
The document discusses the role of the 2015 climate agreement in mobilizing climate finance at scale. It notes that massive scaling up of green investment is required beyond the $100 billion per year goal. An agreement on climate finance pre- and post-2020 is fundamental for a successful 2015 agreement. The 2015 agreement should provide long-term political signals to incentivize enhanced national and international climate action and climate finance through flexibility on financial instruments, strong signals on carbon pricing and environmental standards, and a focus on effectiveness and efficiency. It should also build on best practices and incentives for short-term action to reinforce long-term goals.
International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI)OECD CFE
This document discusses the circular economy in cities and regions. It notes that a circular economy can benefit society through better resource use, businesses through new markets and cost savings, and the public sector through meeting policy goals and cost efficiency. A circular economy involves activities across the whole value chain from collection and separation to reuse, repair, reprocessing, extraction, and disposal. It notes that national approaches often lack pilots and specific initiatives. Barriers include awareness, resources, and competing demands on cities. The document recommends starting small, finding champions, piloting projects, working with the private sector, and monitoring progress to embed circular approaches over the long term.
This document discusses how corporate stewardship of water resources is driving innovation. It notes that 573 investor signatories representing $63 trillion in assets submitted information requests about water risk to CDP. Companies that disclose information about measuring and addressing water-related risks through CDP's questionnaire signal to investors that they are responsibly managing freshwater use. The document provides examples of companies innovating in water management, such as BHP Billiton investing $2 billion in a desalination plant and Bayer Crop Sciences developing drought-resistant plant strains.

This presentation discusses the 2000-Watt Site certification process, which provides standards and labels for sustainable infrastructure development sites. The certification is derived from existing energy management systems used by over 1000 municipalities in Europe, including the European Energy Award. It establishes quantitative energy and emissions targets during planning and operation of development sites. Certification requires the municipality be certified under the Energy City program and the site meet size and use criteria. Sites are evaluated on energy use, emissions, construction, mobility and management systems to achieve 2000-Watt Site certification. The developer in the example site seeks the certification to meet stakeholder expectations and position as a leader in sustainable construction.
