Description
Description | The EHCC is a year-long competition among cities to promote renewable energy and prepare for climate change. U.S. cities that participate are recognized for their efforts in spreading the global movement to create more sustainable, resilient cities and compete for the title of U.S. Earth Hour Capital as well as grants from WWF.
Any city or town in the U.S. can join the Earth Hour City Challenge. To participate, cities must report at least one commitment to quantifiably reduce greenhouse gas emissions, expand renewable energy, or increase energy efficiency and one action undertaken or planned to meet those commitments. |
---|---|
Objectives | Earth Hour City Challenge has been created to mobilize action and support from cities in the global transition towards a climate friendly one-planet future. The central goal of the City Challenge is to highlight and reward city governments that are making substantial long-term efforts to combat climate change. Cities are invited to report inspiring, and credible commitments and actions transitioning to renewable energy and building climate resilient community. A City Commitment is not required, but ideally commitments include: an absolute or BAU target for reducing CO2 emissions, an absolute or BAU target for reducing CO2 equivalent emissions, a reduction target of the carbon intensity per unit output, an improvement target for energy efficiency and a target value of energy sourced from renewables. Cities from 17 different countries around the world have participated.
