GOVERNANCE & collaboration
City -to -City Collaboration Toyama - Renca: Since May 2019, MoU
signed, which establish collaboration in:••

The transfer and exchange of knowledge, experience, capacity
development.
The implementation of the Cerros de Renca Metropolitan Park

Renca has been awarded for the development of a consultancy
that allows us to carry out a project that reduces CO2 emissions andgreenhouse gasses, to introduce low -carbon technologies in theterritory that can apply to the financial scheme Joint Credit
Mechanism (JCM, for its acronym in English Joint Credit Mechanism)promoted by the Government of Japan.
At the same time, Toyama shared their experience and instrumentthat aims to contribute with the achievement of the Sustainable
Developments Goals & Renca has shared our experience inestablishing a carbon neutrality strategy.

REPORTABILITY“You can’t change what YOU CAN’T MEASURE”
Renca Emissions Baseline:

The first step is to measure the carbon footprint in
the communal territory.
Currently, Renca has developed the territorial
inventory of GHG emissions with base year 2016
(March 2022).
At the same time, we are analyzing the impacts ofthe climate actions we have taken during ouradministration (from 2017 to 2021).

Reportability of climate actions:

Renca
started reporting in 2021 in CDP, Platformthat manages the global disclosure system
for investors, companies, cities, states andregions to manage their environmentalimpacts.

The construction of sustainable, resilient to climate change and moreequal cities, is a collective task that requires the action and leadership oflocal governments and the commitment of the diversity of actors in theterritory . The International collaboration is essential to accelerate thedecarbonization of our cities.
