Urban planners are creating ‘green cities’ recognised by the European Green Capital Award.
Urbanistični načrtovalci ustvarjajo okolju prijazna mesta, ki tekmujejo za nagrado evropske zelene prestolnice.
Stockholm, which aims to be free of fossil fuels by 2050, and Hamburg, which aims to reduce its emissions by 80% also by 2050, are both proud winners.
Ponosna prejemnika nagrade sta Stockholm, ki do leta 2050 načrtuje popolnoma odpraviti fosilna goriva, in Hamburg, ki prav tako do leta 2050 načrtuje svoje izpuste zmanjšati za 80%.
While we are having to deal with the effect of past emissions, the imperative is now to reduce current levels.
Energetsko-podnebni sveženj kaže zavezo EU k zastavljanju ambicioznih ciljev za zmanjšanje izpustov toplogrednih plinov.
The level of emissions is the key to mitigating global warming and reducing the impact of the crises outlined above.
V tem svežnju, ki je bil sprejet decembra 2008, se EU obvezuje zmanjšati svoje izpuste toplogrednih plinov za 20% v primerjavi z ravnmi iz leta 1990; povečati količino energije iz obnovljivih virov z zdajšnjih 8% na 20% in izboljšati energetsko učinkovitost za 20%, kar pomeni zmanjšanje porabe za 13% v primerjavi z letom 2006 – vse to do leta 2020.
In the East of England, the theme of ‘Low Carbon Economic Growth’runs through the entire region’s Competitiveness and Employment programme.
V vzhodni Angliji je tema o gospodarski rasti z majhnimi izpusti ogljikovega dioksida (Low Carbon Economic Growth) rdeča nit celotnega programa Konkurenčnost in zaposlovanje regije.
The region recognises the programme’s potential to be at the forefront of design and innovation.
Regija meni, da ima program vse možnosti, da postane vodilni pri oblikovanju in inovacijah.
It covers the development of new ways to respond to the imperative of lower emissions, from low-carbon initiatives through to the stimulation of clean technology and renewable energy sectors. €73 million has been invested in their programme from regional funds.
Program vključuje razvoj novih načinov odziva na obveznost manjših izpustov, od pobud za manjše izpuste ogljikovega dioksida do spodbujanja čiste tehnologije in sektorjev obnovljive energije. V ta program je bilo iz regionalnih sredstev vloženih 73 milijonov €.
The Energy and Climate Change Package demonstrates the EU’s commitment to establishing ambitious targets for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
Glavno pri tem sporazumu je spoznanje, da bi morale biti politike o energetiki in podnebnih spremembah povezane.
The package, agreed in December 2008, sees the EU signing up to a reduction in its greenhouse gas emissions by 20% compared with 1990 levels; increasing the amount of energy derived from renewables from 8% today to 20% and improving energy efficiency levels by 20%, which means reducing consumption by 13% in comparison to 2006 - all by 2020.
V sporazumu sta poudarjena potreba po ‚odločnem in takojšnjem ukrepanju’ glede podnebnih sprememb in ‚ključni pomen doseganja strateškega cilja omejitve povečanja povprečne temperature na Zemlji na največ 2 °C nad predindustrijsko stopnjo’.
The Covenant of Mayors intends to go beyond the ambitious targets set out by the Energy Package.
Na konvenciji županov pa nameravajo še preseči ambiciozne cilje, zastavljene v energetskem svežnju.
80% of the population lives in cities and it is here that up to 80% of the energy is consumed.
80% prebivalcev živi v mestih in v teh se porabi do 80% energije.
Believing that local authorities have a central role to play in mitigating climate change, the Covenant of Mayors creates concrete projects in pioneering cities to reduce emissions through enhanced energy efficiency and cleaner energy production and use.
Ker menijo, da imajo lokalni organi osrednjo vlogo pri ublažitvi podnebnih sprememb, so na konvenciji županov oblikovali konkretne projekte, ki bodo mestom utirali pot v zmanjšanje izpustov z večjo energetsko učinkovitostjo ter proizvodnjo čistejše energije in njene uporabe.
Cities which sign up, accept the notion of being monitored and of reporting back to their colleagues on how they are progressing.
Mesta, ki se pridružijo projektu, potrjujejo, da jih bodo spremljali in bodo svojim kolegom poročali o doseženem napredku.
From Argentina to Ukraine, urban public bodies are working to change the pattern of their citizens’lives. lives.
Od Argentine do Ukrajine si mestni javni organi prizadevajo spremeniti življenjski vzorec svojih meščanov.
The agreement stressed the need for "decisive and immediate action" on climate change and underlined "the vital importance of achieving the strategic objective of limiting the global average temperature increase to not more than 2°C above pre-industrial levels".
Pristop k izpustom v obdobju od 2012 do 2020 je bil pojasnjen v novem predlogu, s trdnejšim in preglednejšim sistemom trgovanja, v katerem mora industrija pridobiti dovoljenje za izpuščanje ogljikovega dioksida.
Advisor to the EU and Chair of the Third Industrial Revolution Global CEO Business Roundtable and people really can think globally and act locally.
Svetovalec EU in predsednik omizja industrijskih vodij globalnih podjetij tretje industrijske revolucije (Third Industrial Revolution Global CEO Business Roundtable) centralizirane oblike komuniciranja po telefonu in telefaksu.
A billion people act locally when they contact friends on the other side of the planet.
Milijarda ljudi deluje lokalno, ko naveže stik s prijatelji na drugi strani planeta.
So what we are looking at now is distributed energy evolving in parallel with distributed communications – the third industrial revolution and the only way out of the situation in which we find ourselves.
Imamo torej porazdeljeno energijo, ki se razvija sočasno s porazdeljenimi komunikacijskimi sredstvi, kar je tretja industrijska revolucija in edini način za rešitev iz položaja, v katerem smo se znašli.
If you could make one, global change in the way we operate at the moment, what would it be?
Za katero globalno spremembo našega zdajšnjega delovanja bi se odločili, če bi lahko izbrali le eno?
Jeremy Rifkin is an Advisor to the European Union and lectures in the Executive Education Program at the Wharton School (University of Pennsylvania).
Jeremy Rifkin je svetovalec Evropske unije in vodi izobraževalne programe za direktorje na šoli Wharton School. J.
Mr. Rifkin is the Chairperson of the Third Industrial Revolution Global CEO Business Roundtable.
Rifkin predseduje omizju industrijskih vodij globalnih podjetij tretje industrijske revolucije.
The CEO Business Roundtable is composed of 100 CEOs of leading North American and European global corporations that are committed to ushering in the four pillars of the Third Industrial Revolution to address the triple challenge of global economic recovery, energy security, and climate change.
Na tem omizju sodeluje 100 vodij severnoameriških in evropskih globalnih podjetij, ki so se za spopad s tremi izzivi – spodbuditev svetovnega gospodarstva, energetska varnost in podnebne spremembe – zavezala k uvajanju štirih stebrov tretje industrijske revolucije.
One thing that has to be done immediately is to leverage public funds with private business to bring about a new economic vision – a coherent game plan setting out a new economic infrastructure aimed at distributing energy.
Takoj je treba povečati vzvode javnih sredstev s sredstvi zasebnih podjetij za oblikovanje nove ekonomske vizije, tj. skladne strategije, ki določa novo ekonomsko infrastrukturo, namenjeno porazdelitvi energije.
“Think global, act locally”: what strategic changes do public authorities need to promote to ensure a more sustainable form of development in a world with limited natural resources?
„Misli globalno, deluj lokalno“: katere strateške spremembe morajo spodbujati javni organi za zagotavljanje trajnostne oblike razvoja v svetu z omejenimi naravnimi viri?
The entrepreneurial opportunities are considerable.
Podjetniških priložnosti je veliko.
A huge number of jobs are waiting to be created in the construction of new buildings, in hydrogen storage plants, in the development of new 21st century grid systems.
Pričakuje se, da se bodo pri gradnji novih objektov, skladiščenju vodika in razvoju novih omrežij 21. stoletja ustvarila številna nova delovna mesta.
And transport is plugging into that with major car manufacturers negotiating deals with electricity suppliers in the lead up to 2014 when we will start seeing the first electrically charged cars hitting the market.
Skupaj z večjimi avtomobilskimi proizvajalci se v to vključuje še prevoz, in to s pogajanji za sklenitev sporazumov z dobavitelji električne energije do leta 2014, ko se bodo na trgu začeli prodajati prvi avtomobili na električni pogon.
Plug it in at home, charge it off the energy generated by your building and you are good to go.
Akumulator priključite na omrežje kar doma, porabljeno energijo odštejete od energije, ki jo ustvari vaša zgradba, in že ste pripravljeni.
Top it off using the surplus energy generated on your route, by other buildings.
Energijo boste dopolnjevali s presežkom energije, ki jo bodo na vaši poti ustvarile druge zgradbe.
Smart distribution, local generation.
Gre za razumno razdelitev in lokalno proizvodnjo.
The sum of billions of small generators contributing to a decentralised grid system generates vastly more power than the creaking old power stations that are bringing us to the brink of extinction.
Milijarde majhnih generatorjev, ki prispevajo k decentraliziranem omrežju, skupaj ustvarijo veliko več energije kot stare škripajoče elektrarne, ki so nas pripeljale na rob izumrtja.
The phrase “Think globally, act locally” has never been more relevant.
Izrek „Misli globalno, deluj lokalno“, še nikoli ni bil primernejši.
We are facing three unprecedented challenges: the second industrial revolution on which our economy is based is in meltdown; we are at the sunset of the fossil fuel age and the real-time impact of climate change on agriculture means we have a billion people going hungry.
Spopadamo se s tremi, doslej neznanimi izzivi: druga industrijska revolucija, na kateri temelji naše gospodarstvo, se končuje; zalog fosilnih goriv že skoraj ni več, učinki podnebnih sprememb na kmetijstvo pa pomenijo, da bo brez hrane ostala milijarda ljudi.
The credit crisis is just an indicator that the current economic model is unsustainable.
Posojilna kriza je samo eden od pokazateljev, da zdajšnji ekonomski model ni trajnosten.
If we needed further proof, look what happens when oil goes over $147 a barrel, the whole economy shuts down.
Če bi potrebovali še kakšen dodatni dokaz, opazujte, kaj se zgodi, ko cena nafte preseže 147 $ za sod: to zavre celotno gospodarstvo.
We have to have a new economic vision and game plan powerful enough to address this triple threat.
Potrebna sta nova ekonomska vizija in strategija, ki bosta lahko premagala te tri izzive.
And for once the developing world can be a real winner here, because solar power is often at their finger tips and 30% are not on any grid so there is no reinvention.
Enkrat za spremembo so lahko države v razvoju resnični zmagovalci, saj je sončna energija pogosto dosegljiva in 30% jih ni vključenih v nobeno omrežje, zato ne bo treba izumljati ničesar več.
They are best placed to embrace new, clean technology using north/south partnerships.
Te države so zelo primerne za sprejemanje nove, čiste tehnologije v okviru partnerstev sever–jug.
Can we do it in time?
Ali je dovolj časa za izvedbo?
The EU is subscribing to ambitious mitigation targets of 400-450 parts per million by volume (ppmv) in the belief that in doing so, along with the rest of the world, the rise in temperature will be around 2°C. But new data is showing that this is wildly optimistic and, in fact, the rise will be more likely to hit 6°C which would spell the end of our species in the next century.
Evropska unija se je zavezala k ambicioznim ciljem zmanjšanja izpustov na 400–450 volumskih delcev na milijon (ppm) saj, podobno kot preostali svet, meni, da se bo s tem temperatura povišala le za 2 °C. Vendar pa novi podatki kažejo, da je to preveč optimistično in da je pravzaprav verjetneje, da se bo temperatura zvišala za 6 °C, kar bi povzročilo izumrtje človeške vrste v naslednjem stoletju.
I don’t know if we are going be quick enough.
Ne vem, ali bomo dovolj hitri.
We need a change of human consciousness from geopolitical to biosphere awareness.
Človeško miselnost moramo z zdajšnje geopolitične zavesti preusmeriti na zavest o biosferi.
Most of Europe had the Age of Enlightenment at the time of transition from the medieval period to industrialisation.
Večina Evrope je doživela preporod ob prehodu iz srednjega veka v industrijsko dobo.
And we need a new philosophical basis now.
Zdaj potrebujemo novo filozofsko podlago.
When communication and energy patterns shift at the same time you get a catalyst for a new consciousness and for those bought up with the internet, the world is an interconnected place.
Ob sočasni spremembi komunikacijskega in energetskega vzorca dobimo pospeševalnik nove miselnosti in za tiste, ki so jo usvojili skupaj s svetovnim spletom, postane svet globalna vas.
We live on a planet populated by deeply divided civilizations, the one thing we all have in common is the biosphere.
Živimo na planetu, naseljenem z močno razdvojenimi civilizacijami in ena od naših skupnih stvari je biosfera.
The biggest source of carbon emissions is buildings.
Največji vir izpustov ogljikovega dioksida so zgradbe.
That has to be turned around – every building has to become its own power generator.
To je treba popolnoma spremeniti. Tako da bo vsaka zgradba ustvarila svojo električno energijo.
Every square foot of this planet offers some renewable energy source: solar, wind, geothermal, the heat generated by waste, tides, hydroelectric power to name some.
Vsak kvadratni meter tega planeta ponuja kakšen obnovljiv vir energije, na primer sončno, vetrno, geotermalno energijo, pridobivanje toplotne energije s sežiganjem odpadkov, uporabo plime ali vodnih virov v hidroelektrarnah, če naštejemo le nekatere.
And now we have the technology to store the surplus to keep supplies constant and we have the example of a distributed grid system in the way we use the internet and the computers attached to it.
Zdaj poznamo tehnologijo skladiščenja presežka energije za ohranjanje stalnih zalog in imamo primer razvejanega omrežja, podobno kot uporabljamo svetovni splet in računalnike, priključene na to omrežje.
There is no longer any barrier to a completely distributed system.
Ni več ovir za popolnoma razvejano omrežje.
What we need is a hybrid economic vision based on the infor- mation technology systems of the 21st century.
Potrebujemo celovito ekonomsko vizijo, ki temelji na sistemih informacijske tehnologije 21. stoletja.
This vision needs to be made real through honoured commitments by governments to invest financial capital matched by equal commitments by society to invest social capital.
To vizijo je treba uresničiti z izpolnitvijo zavez vlad o vlaganju finančnega kapitala, ki se mora ujemati z enakovrednimi zavezami družbe o vlaganju socialnega kapitala.
And it has to start now.
Vse to pa je treba začeti že danes!
You get revolutions when you converge new energy forms with new modes of communication: writing developed when we became agrarian, when we discovered steam we started to print, when we went to centralised sources of energy in the form of fossil fuels and uranium we went to centralised forms of communication with major telecommunications giants behind our telephones and faxes.
Združitev novih energetskih oblik z novimi načini komuniciranja pomeni revolucijo, tako se je npr. pisava razvila, ko je človek postal poljedelec, tiskanje se je začelo ob odkritju pare, ob prehodu na centralizirane vire energije fosilnih goriv in urana smo skupaj z velikimi telekomunikacijskimi podjetji prešli na

Glavna okoljska uradnica v svetu okrožja Hampshire spremembam vključi v politike, postopke in prakse prostorskega načrtovanja.
The final project strategy ‘Planning in a Changing Climate’ sets out 14 recommendations on how adaptation to climate change can be incorporated into spatial planning.
V zadnji projektni strategiji „Načrtovanje v spreminjajočem se podnebju“ je določenih 14 priporočil, kako se lahko prilagajanje podnebnim spremembam vključi v prostorsko načrtovanje.
The three key principles of the strategy are:

If you could make one, global change in the way we operate at the moment, what would it be?
Če bi lahko naredili eno, globalno spremembo načina, kot delujemo trenutno, katera bi to bila?
Public authorities have responsibility for spatial planning at a range of levels from national through to local.
Javni organi so odgovorni za prostorsko načrtovanje na različnih ravneh, od nacionalne do lokalne.
Spatial planning plays a crucial role in bringing together competing demands on the way our land and natural resources are managed and used, both of which are under pressure from a variety of sources including rapid economic development, population growth and most recently climate change.
Prostorsko načrtovanje ima odločilno vlogo pri usklajevanju konkurenčnih zahtev glede tega, kako se naša zemljišča in naravni viri upravljajo in izkoriščajo, pri čemer so oboji izpostavljeni pritisku različnih virov, ki vključujejo hitrost gospodarsko rast, naraščanje števila prebivalstva in nedavne podnebne spremembe.
We need to start adapting today to these changing conditions, to ensure our social, economic and environmental systems are best prepared for the unavoidable impacts of climate change.
Tem spreminjajočim se razmeram se moramo začeti prilagajati že danes, da bi zagotovili, da bodo naši družbeni, gospodarski in okoljski sistemi kar najbolje pripravljeni na neizogibne posledice podnebnih sprememb.
Adaptation is most relevant at the local level, and therefore local public authorities are well placed to act as community leaders and champion climate change policy and action at a local level.
Prilagajanje je najpomembnejše na lokalni ravni, zato so lokalni javni organi v dobrem položaju, da delujejo kot vodje skupnosti ter se zavzemajo za politiko in ukrepanje v zvezi s podnebnimi spremembami na lokalni ravni.
Although adaptation is a critical component in the response to climate change, adapting to climate change will become increasingly difficult and unsustainable as the impacts become worse.
Čeprav je prilagajanje odločilen element pri odzivu na podnebne spremembe, bo prilagajanje podnebnim spremembam postajalo vse težje in nevzdržno, ker bodo posledice postajale vse hujše.
It is therefore vital that greenhouse gas emissions reduction is a key priority.
Zato je ključno, da je zmanjšanje izpustov toplogrednih plinov ključna prednostna naloga.
Therefore the first regulation I would pass would be policy support towards the development and mainstreaming of low-carbon technology.
Zato bi bila prva uredba, ki bi jo sprejela, podpora politiki za razvoj tehnologij z nizko vsebnostjo ogljika in njihova vključitev v prevladujočo usmeritev.
Without strong government policy, leadership, support and funding the shift to low-carbon technology will not happen fast enough to reduce the risks of climate change.
Brez močne vladne politike, vodstva, podpore in financiranja se prehod na tehnologijo z nizko vsebnostjo ogljika ne bo zgodil dovolj hitro, da bi se tveganja podnebnih sprememb zmanjšala.
Low-carbon technologies are also unlikely to become commercially viable within the necessary timeframes without government intervention.
Tehnologije z nizko vsebnostjo ogljika brez vladnega posredovanja verjetno tudi ne bodo postale ekonomsko upravičene v potrebnem času.
Recognising the vital role of spatial planning, a group of transnational partners came together to implement a groundbreaking five-year project – ESPACE (European Spatial Planning: Adapting to Climate Events) funded by the European Commission’s North West Europe INTERREG IIIB Programme, the ESPACE Partnership and the Department for Communities and Local Government.
Ob priznavanju ključne vloge prostorskega načrtovanje se je zbrala skupina transnacionalnih partnerjev, da bi izvedla inovativni petletni projekt – Espace (Evropsko prostorsko načrtovanje: prilagajanje podnebnim dogodkom), ki se financira iz programa Evropske komisije Interreg IIIB za severozahodno Evropo, partnerstva Espace in Oddelka za skupnosti in lokalno upravo.
How do you think behaviour change can contribute to the response to climate change?
Kako, menite, lahko sprememba obnašanja prispeva k odzivu na podnebne spremembe?
Behaviour change is a critical component in the response to climate change but it must be encouraged, supported and regulated.
Projekt Espace je vplival na filozofijo in prakso prostorskega načrtovanja s priporočili, kako se lahko prilagajanje podnebnim
For example, a shift away from personal car use to public transport needs to be supported by a good public transport infrastructure that is both cost-effective and efficient (i.e. good geographical coverage, good links between different forms of transport, not excessively time consuming, etc.).
Na primer, prehod z uporabe osebnega avtomobila na javni prevoz je treba podpreti z dobro infrastrukturo javnega prometa, ki je gospodarna in učinkovita (npr. dobro geografsko pokrivanje, dobre povezave med različnimi oblikami prevoza, pri katerih se ne porabi preveč časa itd.).
I also do not believe that a large enough shift in behaviour will happen without some encouragement and regulation to drive it forward, e.g. tax incentives and penalties, new tariff structures.
Tudi ne verjamem, da bodo dovolj velike spremembe v obnašanju storjene brez določenega spodbujanja in ureditve za izvedbo te spremembe, npr. davčnih spodbud in kazni, novih cenovnih struktur.

“Think globally, act locally”: what strategic changes do public authorities need to promote to ensure a more sustainable development in a world in which natural resources are constrained?
„Razmišljaj globalno, deluj lokalno“: katere strateške spremembe morajo javni organi spodbujati, da bi zagotovili trajnostni razvoj v svetu, v katerem so naravni viri omejeni?
We also need incentives to promote investments in green businesses.
Marca 2009 je bila odprta raziskovalna postaja Princess Elisabeth na Antarktiki, prva „brezemisijska“ postaja na svetu.
Institutional investors are the people we need to target for change and not only company CEOs who, even if they have the vision and want to act, also have to generate profit for their shareholders.
Zakaj je za Mednarodno polarno fundacijo (International Polar Foundation, IPF) pomembno, da se je odločila za trajnostni razvoj na oddaljeni Antarktiki?
Cities are definitely the front line in the battle for sustainability.
Preučevanje polarnih regij je ključ do boljšega razumevanja podnebnega sistema Zemlje.
