POLITICAL COMMITMENTS
12th 5-year plan stated that carbon intensity will reduce by 17%inY2011-2015 .
The energy and carbon intensity targets have been allocated to
various provinces, varying from 10% to 19.5%. More developedregions such as Guangdong(19.5%), Shanghai (19%),Jiangsu(19%), get higher targets.
The provincial targets will be further allocated to cities in 2012.
Shanghai is the first city which has set the Y2015 cap for its totalamount of energy consumption and has allocated intensitytarget to sub-cities.

12TH FYP ENERGY INTENSITY TARGETS
Targets are a mix of economic capacity, energy structure, energy saving potential, and negotiation.Ref. Stephanie Ohshita & Lynn Price (LBNL) and TIAN Zhiyu, China, June 2011

NATIONALANDPROVINCIALPROGRAMS
National demonstration program 5 provinces and 8 cities program (NDRC, 2010)
Carbon trading scheme program(NDRC, 2011)
Low carbon ecological town initiative (MOF, MOHURD, NDRC,2011)
Many other initiatives related to renewables, green lighting,electric vehicles, 10-thousand companies for energy efficiency,etc.
Provincial demonstration program (as examples)
Jiangsu province: 4 cities, 10 industrial zones and 10 companies Guangdong province: 4 cities and 8 counties/districts
The first requirementto develop a low carbonaction plan

KEY CHALLENGES
High targets but low incentives National targets are being allocated top-down to provinces
and further to cities. Buy-in from local level is insufficient.
Very limited public funding incentives are available.
Ambitious action plan but poor implementation Lack of GHG standards/guidelines makes action plan less
measurable and accountable.
The implementation has been lag behind the schedule in most
of places.
High global priority but low local awareness Poor civic engagement of the action plan and implementation.
Lack of public pressure on the big emitters for GHG mitigation.

Goal:
build capacity of industries and cities to contribute to Chinasnational and international commitments to low-carbon andenvironmentally sustainable development.
Program components
Component 1--Industry: Environmental, Energy, andCarbon Management -ISCs EHS Academies (EHSAs)
Component 2 -- Power Sector: Overcoming Barriers toEnergy Efficiency
Component 3 -- Low Carbon Cities: Cooperation on Best
Practices-ISCs Climate Leadership Academies (CLAs)

Provided peer learning opportunities on low carbon developmentthrough CLA workshops and network events for 360 city officials andrepresentatives from 41 cities; and scaling up to major cities throughCLA champion network.
Developed 3 tools and methodologies on GHG accounting standards,low carbon planning;
Collaborated with the partners in conducting 3 in-depth studies of theguidelines, and practices on 1)GHG inventory at city-level, on 2)lowcarbon industrial zones and on 3) the low carbon communities (workunder progress);
Signed MoUs/Collaborative Agreements with 3 cities (Guangzhou,Yangzhou, Xiaolan), 2 provincial agencies, 3 institutes and universities;
Assisted 3 cities in implementing integrated initiatives on low carbonmaster plan, urban redevelopment, community climate action plan;

LESSONSLEARNED
Low emission development strategy needs to focus on the growth,addressing the why to do?.
How to make business case is crucial to get buy-in from cities;
GHG standards and guidelines needs to be developed systematically,
addressing the what to do?.GHG accounting at city-level ; guidelines for low carbondistricts/industrial zones, communities ;
Best practices need to be localized, addressing the how to do?.
International best practices is good for inspiration. The local solutionshave to be generated from local people.
Multi-stakeholder and civic engagement need to be strengthened inboth phases of planning and implementation, addressing thehow todo better?.
The combination of bottom-up and top-down approaches is proven tobe most useful and effective. Cultivating champions is our focus.
