Climate protection. Minimum requirements for partners
Climate protection voestalpine is clearly committed to the global climate goals and has been regarded as an environmental and efficiency benchmark in the industry for decades. voestalpine has invested massively in environmental and climate protection and has already begun research into alternative manufacturing processes in order to contribute to climate neutrality. The implementation of technical scenarios to decarbonise steel production and reduce CO² - emissions by a third until 2030 is just one of voestalpine's contributions to CO²- neutrality. In parallel, intensive research is being conducted on so-called "breakthrough technologies" for steel production in order to replace coal as an energy source with CO²-neutral hydrogen in the long term. Internally and externally, we place high demands on the processes and products to support these goals positively and proactively in the long term.
Climate protection. 1. Each campus will maintain individual membership with The Climate Registry (TCR).5 Campuses will include their health locations in their membership.
2. Each campus will complete a Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions inventory annually. Campuses will include their health locations in their inventories.
3. To comply with TCR and the Second Nature Carbon Commitment requirements, 6 inventories should contain emissions of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases from scope 1 and 2 emission sources outlined in the TCR General Reporting Protocol; and scope 3 emissions sources outlined by the Second Nature Carbon Commitment’s Implementation Guide. All UC campuses will report their updated emissions inventories through the Second Nature Carbon Commitment online reporting tool at least biennially. Campuses must verify all emissions inventories through TCR. Campuses may either pursue verification annually (for the previous year’s emissions inventory) or biennially 5 The Climate Registry is a nonprofit collaboration among North American states, provinces, territories and Native Sovereign Nations that sets consistent and transparent standards to calculate, verify and publicly report greenhouse gas emissions into a single registry. 6 The Second Nature Carbon Commitment requirements are outlined at Second Nature: The Presidents' Climate Leadership Commitments. (for the emissions inventories from the previous two years).
4. Campuses subject to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program, California Air Resources Board (CARB) Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting, or participation in the CARB Cap- and-Trade Program will complete the relevant emissions inventories outlined in the USEPA and CARB reporting protocols.
5. Each campus will regularly update its climate action plan for (a) maintaining GHG emissions at or below 1990 levels ; (b) achieving climate neutrality for scope 1 and 2 sources by calendar year 2025 (annual 2025 emissions reported in 2026); (c) achieving climate neutrality for the Second Nature Carbon Commitment-specified scope 3 sources (as defined by Second Nature’s Carbon Commitment) for calendar year 2050 (annual 2050 emissions reported in 2051); and, (d) climate action planning will integrate environmental justice, adaptation, and resilience. This will include an annual review and update, if needed, of the GHG reduction strategies reported by the campus to the UC Office of the President (UCOP). Campuses will includ...
Climate protection. 1. Greenhouse Gas Emissions Each campus and the UC Office of the President will develop strategies for meeting the following UC goals:
a. Achieve climate neutrality from scope 1 and 2 sources by 2025
b. Achieve climate neutrality from specific scope 3 sources (as defined by Second Nature’s Carbon Commitment) by 2050 or sooner
c. Maintain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at or below 1990 levels, pursuant to the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006. For purposes of this section, campuses will include their related health location for all goals. GHG emissions reduction goals pertain to emissions of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, sulfur hexafluoride, hydrofluorocarbons, and perfluorocarbons) originating from all scope 1 and scope 2 sources as specified by the Climate Registry and from scope 3 emissions as specified by Second Nature’s Carbon Commitment, which includes air travel paid through the institution; and commuting to and from campus by students, faculty and other academic appointees, and staff. These goals will be pursued while maintaining the research, education, and public service missions of the University. Campuses subject to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program, California Air Resources Board (CARB) Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting, or participation in the CARB Cap- and-Trade Program will perform to those regulatory requirements.

Climate protection. Energy/Greenhouse Gas Reductions & Climate Change Preparedness. In close coordination with our sister agencies, MassDEP will implement and maintain programs that target significant reductions in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, boost energy efficiency and renewable sources of energy, and expand green jobs in Massachusetts. Additionally, we continue to play a leading role in supporting local efforts to increase preparedness and protect existing infrastructure. Major activities include:
Climate protection. Minimum requirements for partners The partner must develop appropriate corporate targets for its Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions and take action to work towards achieving the Paris Climate Agreement. The partner must regularly monitor and report its progress to voestalpine, especially with regard to its CO ₂ footprint at product level. In order to reduce CO ₂ emissions, the partner must follow the principle of avoidance, reduction and only if this is not possible, compensation and neutralisation. The partner must work towards following the Ambition 2039 of the Mercedes-Benz Group. The partner must commit to voestalpine's material and component-specific CO ₂ targets, which are agreed as part of the award process, and switch to CO ₂-neutral products in the medium term. In order to contribute to these goals, these expectations must be passed on to the company's own supply chain. Expectations for partners The partner should have its climate protection targets verified according to recognised scientific methods such as those of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The partner should use efficient technologies and materials and use renewable energies.
Climate protection. New. The District operates or will institute, administratively fund and promote several activities to assist the County in meeting its climate protection goals. These activities include, but are not limited to, the installation of alternative energy sources including an array of photovoltaic solar panels, a program to replace incandescent lighting with fluorescent lighting, light bulb recycling, paper recycling, glass and metal recycling and tree planting. Franchise fee funding shall only be used to cover the above described proportion of direct or total program costs for the District’s expenses directly associated with the recycling activities associated with this program (light bulbs, paper, glass and metal).
Climate protection. 2.1 The Contractor shall strive to develop suitable corporate targets for its Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions and take measures to work towards achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement. The Contractor shall regularly monitor its progress and report to DTRP on request, in particular with regard to its CO2 footprint at product level.
2.2 In order to reduce CO2 emissions, the Contractor is supposed to follow the principle of prevention, reduction – and if this is not possible – compensation and neutralization.
2.3 The Contractor declares its willingness to support DTRP’s climate ambitions. The Contractor must commit to the material- and component-specific CO2 targets of DTRP, which are agreed as part of the awarding process, and aim to convert to CO2-neutral products in the medium term. To contribute to these goals, these expectations must be passed on to the Contractor’s own supply chain.
