Hamilton can reduce carbon emissions to zero by 2050
The Gulf climate change summit was told, but all buildings need to be rebuilt, electric vehicles used and major changes made in steel mills.
On the third day of the week-long summit, consultant yur Herbert shared the results of the Hamilton and Burlington carbon emissions audits with about 150 people at the Royal Botanic Garden on Wednesday.
The report was commissioned by the Gulf region climate change office at Mohawk College's climate change management center and will be published on the center's Web page in the coming days.
Cities anywhere must become carbon-emitting cities, Herbert said.
If we want to limit global warming to 1, stay neutral by 2050.
5 degrees Celsius-our best-
According to the Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change, this is the case.
"Limit warming to 1.
5 degrees Celsius is physically possible, "said Herbert, head of the Sustainability Solutions Group, a consulting firm that helps cities plan climate change.
"We already played one-
We expect to score 1.
From 2030 to 2050 . . . . . . There is no longer time for incremental changes.
We need to fundamentally rethink how we do business.
"The audit found that steel-making has been the largest contributor to local emissions so far, with carbon dioxide emissions of about 10 m tonnes in 2016.
The conclusion does not suggest shutting down production, but suggests that the use of renewable natural gas and electricity can help the industry move towards sustainable development. "The low-
The carbon channel is physically possible in the Bay Area, "Herbert said.
"This is no longer a mysterious idea.
We know how we can really do that.
"Now, it is the responsibility of the Gulf climate change office and its working groups to help persuade local stakeholders to buy the program, said Sandi Stride, executive director of the outgoing climate change management center.
She stressed that, with the support of BACCO and local municipalities, the plan has been and will continue to be led by the results of citizen participation.
She hopes that as the process progresses, local councils will do their best to support it.
Sandi Stride, Executive Director Center for Climate Change Management at Mohawk College, is the promoter of this week's RBG climate change conference.
Gary Yokoyama, Hamilton's audience, said: "There is hope . " He will retire later this week.
"The situation is very serious, but it is possible to change if you have hope.
When asked if she expected the steel company to join, her answer was silent.
"We put a lot of energy into the community.
"BACCO now plans to form a civic implementation team focused on energy efficiency, transportation systems and low energy efficiency
Kate Flynn, acting director of the Climate Change Management Center, said carbon food solutions.
The organizations will "support and advise our cities on progressive climate change policies," she said ".
"We will continue to increase the pressure . . . . . . But we will also celebrate success as we move forward.
"The Gulf climate change summit will last until Thursday at the Royal Botanical Garden, followed by a youth summit at McMaster Innovation Park on Friday.
From changing habits to changing buildings, we can do more than we think to help reduce carbon emissions.
Here are some ideas for this year's Gulf climate change summit.
Beef: beef is one of the most resource foods.
Executive director of sustainable development at Hamilton Burlington, kinghette, said strengthening food.
Whether you delete it completely or keep it on special occasions, the choice of food is a daily way that anyone can make an impact, she says.
Growing food: Although Ontario is a strong agricultural region, it consumes twice as much food as it produces
Transport fossil fuels of food from afar
He urged the province to find new ways to increase local food production.
"The carbon footprint will increase slightly, but in fact (less)
"We don't need to import these products," he said . "
At the same time, anyone with a little outdoor space can start right away.
Sustainable Development vote: in any election, the candidate who chooses to take bold action on climate issues should be the primary consideration for voters, said Tony Cupi, chairman of sustainable development studies at Mohawk College
"Every time we go to vote ,(climate)
It should be a powerful driving force.
"Update your house: many panelists talked about the need to make all buildings run with carbon emissions
Remain neutral before 2050
Consider the use of sustainable practices and materials as well as energy if planning a home renos
Efficient design.
Carry reusable bags: It seems obvious, says Gutt, but it makes more sense to carry your own bags than ever since the recycling market for plastic bags is drying up.
"Recyclers hate them and don't recycle them anymore, otherwise they will be recycled into inferior quality products.
"Wash Green on site: Although many products claim environmental protection --
In fact, these statements are sometimes exaggerated.
Mark Cardos, UL environmental transparency service manager, a certified company, recommends understanding the ecological environment
The label on the product and its meaning.
Certification people do research a lot, so you don't have.
Stop idling for businesses: Many fleet management tools can track whether vehicles are idling, so it's easy to change to control this behavior.
Sandi Stride, executive director of the Center for Climate Change Management at Mohawk College, said UPS's delivery vehicles went further: "They ban left-
I turned my hand because I waited too much.
"Linking lending to sustainability: financial institution ING provides loans with terms that fluctuate according to the company's performance on sustainability metrics," said Wesley Ji, sustainability director, engineering design Communications, Toronto
Companies that show progress are getting cheaper loans, while companies that do worse get more loans.
Enabling employees: Walker Industries, with Burlington location, trained all employees in its "Earth First" strategy, which encouraged them to consider the environmental impact of all businesses --
Kerry Mekel, its environmental coordinator, said the decision was made.
The company also faces environmental challenges for employees to compete in carbon emissions.
Reduce energy-saving challenges such as thermostats, planting native trees and switching to junk-free lunches.
They calculated that 5,905 litres of water and 910 KW hours of electricity were saved from the initiative alone, and 7,418 kilograms of waste were transferred from landfill sites and 115 trees were planted.
Change the building code for the government: some speakers urged the government to consider how to implement the network --
Zero Carbon Building for any new building.
"It doesn't need to cost more," said Cupido of Mohawk . ".
Joyce's center for cooperation and innovation is based on the Internet, he said.
Zero carbon standard
Given the energy savings, it costs no more than traditional institutional buildings, about $492 per square foot.
Strengthening Urban Land: The city's footprint is of great help in determining its greenhouse gas emissions, as more energy is needed to move around and more resources are available to access roads and infrastructure, yur Herbert, director of Sustainable Development Solutions Group, said.
Strengthening existing land and stopping urban expansion depends on local councils, he said.
