The Clinton Climate Initiative (CCI) is a Clinton Foundation project dedicated to making a difference in the fight against climate change in practical and measurable ways, initiating programs that directly result in substantial reductions in heat-trapping greenhouse gas emissions.
| On August 1, the Clinton Climate Initiative announced its first program at a press conference in Los Angeles. Joined by British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, London Mayor Ken Livingstone, and San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsome, President Clinton announced that CCI will join with the Large Cities Climate Leadership Group, an organization comprised of most of the largest cities in the world that have pledged to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The CCI will assist the large cities in the group in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing energy efficiency by using the same business-oriented approach that has made other Clinton Foundation initiatives successful. Urban areas account for 75 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. |
The CCI—Large Cities partnership begins with 24 of the largest cities in the world participating: Berlin, Buenos Aires, Cairo, Caracas, Chicago, Delhi, Dhaka, Houston, Istanbul, Johannesburg, London, Los Angeles, Madrid, Melbourne, Mexico City, Moscow, New York, Paris, Philadelphia, Rome, Sao Paulo, Seoul, Toronto, and Warsaw. The partnership anticipates that many more cities will join over the next four to six months. CCI teams have already begun visiting cities.
To enable its partner cities to reduce energy use and green house gas emissions, CCI will:
- Create a purchasing consortium that will pool the purchasing power of the cities to lower the prices of energy saving products and accelerate the development and deployment of new energy saving and greenhouse gas reducing technologies and products.
- Mobilize the best experts in the world to provide technical assistance to cities to develop and implement plans that will result in greater energy efficiency and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
- Create and deploy common measurement tools and internet based communications systems that will allow cities to establish a baseline on their greenhouse gas emissions, measure the effectiveness of the program in reducing these emissions and to share what works and does not work with each other.
Dear Sirs,
Saving Iceland, is an organization that is trying to wake up the responsibility of the Icelandic government towards the international community. The Icelandic government is changing Iceland into the biggest Aluminium Producer in the world, and will change the main industry into pollution production. There is no economical need for this, but an easy solution for job creation to a certain part of the country. North Korea and Iceland do have a similar management style, they do not take any notice of whomever. The Icelandic government allows free press, but they have decided, and they do not take any notice. This matter is not an Icelandic issue, even though Icelandic purity will disappear then the greenhouse gas Iceland will promptly produce will affect everybody on this planet. PLEASE TAKE NOTICE, THIS MATTER IS URGENT, AS IT IS IN ACTION RIGHT THIS VERY MOMENT,AND NOBODY OUTSIDE ICELAND NOTICES. Iceland is one of the richest countries in the world, there is tremendous growth in IT industry, tourist industry and the entrepreneurship is among the highest in the world. We are use to have then wind in our face, we dare to work. Individuals have deep pockets, and they need money for their politacl campaigns.. that is the sole reason for those smelters. HELP
