City GHG Inventory

Cities start with defining an inventory boundary. This identifies the geographic area, time span, gases and emission sources covered by a GHG inventory. Any geographic boundary may be used for the GHG inventory. Depending on the purpose of the inventory, the boundary can align with the administrative boundary of a local government or a combination of administrative divisions, a metropolitan area, or another geographically identifiable entity. Calculations are designed to account for GHG emissions in a single reporting year.
GHG emissions from city activities shall be classified into six main sectors:

Stationary energy
Transportation
Waste
Industrial processes and product use (IPPU)
Agriculture, forestry, and other land use (AFOLU)
Any other emissions occurring outside the geographic boundary as a result of city activities.

Corporate GHG Inventory

Understand and quantify your emission sources using standardized methods such as GHG Protocol, ISO 14064 through development of a GHG Inventory.

CDP-Carbon Disclosure Project

We witness a rapid transition towards a more sustainable and resilient society in our business ecosystem. This will have a huge impact on our business, sectors and economics. You can gain competitive advantage by reporting through CDP and protect and improve your company’s reputation, get ahead of regulation, track and benchmark progress and turn risks into opportunities.

SBT-Science Based Targets

Science-based targets provide companies with a clearly-defined path to reduce emissions in line with the Paris Agreement goals. More than 2,000 businesses around the world are already working with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Targets are considered ‘science-based’ if they are in line with what the latest climate science deems necessary to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement – limiting global warming to well-below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C.

LCA - Carbon Life Cycle Analysis

LCA is one of the most comprehensive approach for companies to demonstrate and communicate transparency and corporate credibility to customers and stakeholders. Understanding and mapping environmental footprint on a product level is important to understand risks and opportunities.

Mitigation

Mitigating climate change is about reducing the release of greenhouse gas emission. Mitigation strategies include retrofitting buildings to make them more energy efficient; adopting renewable energy sources like solar, wind; helping cities develop more sustainable transport such as bus rapid transit, electric vehicles, and biofuels; and promoting more sustainable uses of land and forests.

Adaptation

Adapting to life in a changing climate – involves adjusting to actual or expected future climate. The goal is to reduce our vulnerability to the harmful effects of climate change (like sea-level encroachment, more intense extreme weather events or food insecurity). It also encompasses making the most of any potential beneficial opportunities associated with climate change (for example, longer growing seasons or increased yields in some regions).

Innovation Management

Today innovation management is intimately related to routes to sustainable business, whether for a firm or for a public body.

Replication and Upscaling

Experimental urbanism, European style, involves local experimentation with main urban infrastructural systems; energy, water and food, the so called “nexus”.

Smart Cities and Positive Energy Districts

DEMIR has been partners and leaders in Smart Cities and Communities – SCC projects starting from the very first generation of EU funded projects in 2014 in the 8th Framework Programme.

Sustainable City Strategies

DEMIR has expanded its role solidly towards urban sustainability, working closely with local governments, providing support in medium to long range energy transition and climate adaptation strategies, and reaching into ecosystem preservation, urban and peri-urban nature-based development and urban food system transitions.
