The Clinton Climate Initiative (CCI) programme will support the development of large scale urban projects that demonstrate cities can grow in ways that are climate positive. Climate Positive real estate developments will strive to reduce the amount of onsite CO2 emissions to below zero.<\/p>\n
The Climate Positive Development Program was launched by President Clinton, Founder of the William J. Clinton Foundation, at the C40 Summit in Seoul, South Korea. Along with the other founding projects, Stockholm Royal Seaport will demonstrate Climate Positive strategies, setting a compelling environmental and economic example for other cities to follow.<\/p>\n
The new city district, Stockholm Royal Seaport, is currently being built in Stockholm’s harbour area. Due for completion in 2025, Stockholm Royal Seaport will be a showcase for sustainable urban design where innovative environmental technologies and creative solutions are developed, used and presented. On completion, Stockholm Royal Seaport will be home to some new 10,000 apartments and 30,000 work places.<\/p>\n
Located on former brownfield sites, the new city district has ambitious environmental targets. Stockholm Royal Seaport is aiming to be fossil fuel free by 2030, while the entire City of Stockholm is aiming for 2050. By 2020, residents and workers in Stockholm Royal Seaport should produce less than 1.5 tons of carbon emissions per person. The entire development project will focus on sustainable transport solutions, efficient building processes, energy conservation and energy efficiency, which are on the whole adapted to future climate change.<\/p>\n
Last year, for the first time, half the world’s population (3.2 billion people) lived in cities. That figure is expected to grow to 70% by 2050. Cities occupy just 2% of the world’s landmass, yet are responsible for more than two thirds of global energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. How cities change and grow is therefore a critical component for tackling the climate crisis.<\/p>\n
When the initial 16 projects are completed, nearly one million people will live and work in Climate Positive communities. These communities will be located in Melbourne, Australia; Palhoca, Brazil; Toronto, Canada; Victoria, Canada; Ahmedabad, India; Jaipur, India; outside Panama City, Panama; Pretoria, South Africa; Johannesburg, South Africa; Seoul, South Korea; Stockholm, Sweden; London, UK; San Francisco, USA and Destiny Florida, USA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
