R10: Climate budgeting in every city across Europe
Motion text
After the pioneer work in Oslo due to the influence of the Norwegian Green
Party’s in the city council, climate budgeting as a framework was created and
exported to governments and cities around the world. The idea was put into life
ten years ago in the Norwegian city with the most ambitious climate target, and
has been embraced also by the C40 initiative. C40 was founded in 2005 by 18
pioneering cities, and has now decided that its 96 cities, which represent 920
million people, shall all have climate budgeting by 2030. 17 of the cities in
the initiative are in Europe. The resolution text will call for all European
cities to join the initiative and implement the powerful tool of climate
budgeting, which lets emissions to be counted like money.
Reason
Raise awareness of an important tool in combating climate change within the cities. The cities cause the most emissions and have a great responsibility and lots of opportunities to cut emissions. A nice bi-effect is that this politics also leads to a more enjoyable city for the citizens
