Account for your organization’s Scope 3 emissions, disclosing and explaining any exclusions. | How financial impact was calculatedFinancial impact was calculated by identifying 13 facilities that have the opportunities to save on costs based on demand response programs. HPE identified opportunities to reduce energy and estimated the financial impact based on the demand response rate schedule.Describe the potential impactThe cost savings financial impact represents the cost savings for 13 facilities over one year. HPE has close to 200 facilities globally in approximately 70 countries. If demand response programs become more ubiquitous globally as electricity grids become more intelligent and utilities have to smooth both demand and supply as more renewables come online, the cost savings could be very large for HPE in the long term. | 0 | 474,605 |

Please list the most significant climate hazards faced by your city and indicate the probability and consequence of these hazards, as well as the expected future change in frequency and intensity. Please also select the top 3 assets or services that are affected by the climate hazard, and provide a description of the impact. | Levels of GHGs are increasing as Culver City and the greater Los Angeles metropolis continues to develop and add more cars to the roadways. Increases in GHG contribute to an increases in average temperature of the earth, causing changes in weather, sea levels and land use patterns. The largest sources of GHG emissions from human activities are the burning of fossil fuels for electricity and transportation. There are short-term impacts of increased levels of GHGs, including adverse health effects like asthma and worsening allergies. The long-term impacts are likely to include an increase in heat waves and decreased water resources in semi-arid regions, like the Los Angeles basin. Negative impacts to air quality are a major concern for Culver City, as we are located at a hub of some of the region's major traffic routes: the 10 and 405 Freeways. Culver City currently has several major development projects under construction, which are anticipated to bring another 5,000 people into the city in the next few years. That means adding many more cars and congestion to our roadways, using more energy to operate those new buildings, and leading to more people moving around the city. We need to be thinking about how to manage these new factors and continue doing our part to improve the region's air quality. | 1 | 49,382 |

Identify the position(s) (do not include any names) of the individual(s) on the board with responsibility for climate-related issues. | Akamai's network is made up of IT equipment, including roughly 250,000 servers and devices. In addition to the Scope 2 and 3 emissions associated with the powering and cooling of these servers, there are Scope 3 emissions associated with the manufacturing of servers. The Scope 3 emissions for this equipment are estimated for 2018 based on a fraction of the emissions associated with the use-phase and the expected energy consumption over a 5-year life cycle. There is sparse data on server carbon life cycle. Akamai cites several sources that attempt to estimate the embedded carbon of a server: 1) A 2013 analysis conducted by Life Cycle Analytics, for Akamai, of a representative Akamai server found that the embedded carbon was 368 kg CO2e which was 10% of its use phase2) A December 2010 IBM-CMU study estimated that embedded carbon was approximately 6-7%3) An analysis completed by the Swiss Technology and Society Lab (EMPA) using Akamai server configurations estimated that GHG emissions associated with the production phase were only 13-20% of the use phase To be precise, Akamai uses an embedded carbon value that is 15% of the equipment's use over a 5-year life span. A purchased server's expected lifetime energy consumption is calculated as follows: Measured maximum power draw of server under load (MWh) x hours per year x 5-year expected life span. The estimated 5-year use phase electricity consumption of all servers and associated networking equipment and appliances purchased in 2018 is summed. The total electricity sum is converted to GHG using Akamai's weighted average network-wide electricity carbon emission factor (kgs CO2e/MWh) of 451 because the purchased servers are deployed around the world. This weighted average electricity CEF is calculated from the IEA and EGrid standards | 0 | 346,947 |
Please provide more information on your plan that addresses climate change adaptation and attach the document. Please provide details on the boundary of your plan, and where this differs from your city’s boundary, please provide an explanation. | The swine industry is one of the significant farming industries in Pingtung County; however, the treatments of livestock manure and urine has become the biggest problem. Anaerobic fermentation is a common treatment method, but it will produce biogas which contains 60% of greenhouse gas, methane. According to the IPCC 2007 report, methane has 25 times of the impact of global warming as carbon dioxide increasingly. Therefore, the collection and utilization of biogas can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and be used for power generation, heat energy, and vehicle fuel gas after being purified and recovered to different degrees. Another example of synergies and co-benefits is "Disaster prevention microgrid". When the tribe is blacked out because of the disaster such as rainstorms, the refuge centre can be independently powered by solar panels and batteries. In recent years, due to the extreme climate, mountain tribes have been easily affected by typhoons. Heavy rain could cause rock flows, which result in road collapse, cable damage, and power outages; moreover, traffic and communication will be completely discontinued. In this case, communication with the outside and electricity providers can be maintained by disaster prevention microgrid. Furthermore, the microgrid could be a daily electricity provider that can effectively reduce the tribe's electricity expenses and carbon emissions. | 1 | 10,771 |
Please describe how your city’s climate change action plan addresses the following key areas, and provide details on the location of this evidence within your plan. | The City identified four core areas and three threats that impact daily operations and increase vulnerability based on assessment work, historical observations, and collected data from the region’s All Hazard Mitigation Plan. Drought, Extreme Precipitation, and Extreme Heat each have their own unique impacts to the City’s economy, environment, and members of the community. To assess current and future vulnerability to climate change, many jurisdictions have recently been using a relatively simple but focused approach that involves the rating of the two components which make specific areas more or less vulnerable: Sensitivity and Adaptive Capacity. This method was adapted from the City’s participation in the STAR (Sustainability Tracking and Rating) Communities program (as well as with the LEED for Cities update). A popular model utilized to relate the two components and ultimately measure vulnerability to areas of operation is a matrix-based analysis that uses a ranking system in the form of Low-to-High; using this qualitative assessment it is possible to identify and what the most critical areas are, which provides a baseline when prioritizing projects and capital improvements that affect development and operational capacity of their agencies. This framework and methodology is being incorporated into the City's 2050 Master Plan. | 0 | 245,884 |
Please identify and describe the factors that most greatly affect your city’s ability to adapt to climate change and indicate how those factors either support or challenge this ability. | The New Orleans economy is largely dependent on tourism and service industry jobs with persistently low wages and job security.

Once registered, users can choose how they want to receive communications: cellphone, landline, text/SMS, or TTY. Users can enter one or more addresses to receive location-based emergency notifications. For example, if a user adds their home and work address to their account, they will receive emergency notifications when either of these two addresses is within the boundaries of an alert’s location. If a user wishes to only receive countywide text/SMS messages, they can simply text the keyword ‘NashAlerts’ to 888-777.Users with smartphones are also urged to download the Everbridge Mobile App from the Apple App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). The Everbridge app brings the added security of delivering alerts to cell phones based on a user’s physical location at the time of an emergency.“The Everbridge app provides Metro with a key alerting capability because it enables us to send safety instructions to residents who happen to be in the vicinity of an emergency in real time,” said Department of Emergency Communication’s Director Michele Donegan. | 1 | 287,524 |

Provide details of other key climate-related targets not already reported in question C4.1/a/b. | The potential financial impact range is based on a long-term assessment of costs from physical climate change risks related to drought for the specific case of Indonesia. The lower range of financial impacts derives from our comprehensive climate change risk assessment tool combined with the threshold defined for the substantive financial impact, resulting in an estimated 8% increment in production costs (applied either to the sourced volume or spend). The upper range reflects an estimated 28% increment in production costs based on our modeling projection, based on our climate change risk assessment tool (CCRA based on the IPCC and RCP8.5), of the expected impact due to climate change (worst case scenario) for this country. We estimated the relative magnitude between $5-18 million per year while we foresee this risk in the short to long-term (>6 years) for the Indonesian growers due to supply chain disruptions arising from drought and flood events during the growing season and combining estimated costs due to disruption from crop losses, quality impacts and supply chain restrictions. | 0 | 504,872 |
Please indicate if your city-wide emissions have increased, decreased, or stayed the same since your last emissions inventory, and describe why. | An overall decrease of 14.07% in relation to base year (2014) and a marginal 0.7% increase, in relation to 2018 are observed. Energy consumption for heating has increased significantly, as 2019 was much colder than 2018 (heating degree days greater by 21% and cooling degree days lower by 5%, according to data from http://meteosearch.meteo.gr/stationInfo.asp), thus energy consumption for heating in all buildings in Athens with fossil fuels increased. In 2019, national GHG emissions from electricity decreased by 3.8% compared to 2018, (mainly attributed to a decrease in the use of solid fuels and an increase in the use of renewable energy sources for electricity production). Nonetheless, electricity consumption has increased in residencies and street lighting, while it has decreased in the institutional and tertiary sector. The increase of electricity consumption in residencies can be attributed to the increase in arrivals as touristic destination of the city (10% in comparison to 2018 - Yasmeen, 2019) and the transformation of uninhabited apartments into airbnb.Construction activities have almost tripled between the two years, as the country had been leaving austerity in 2019. The phenomenon of airbnb had busted building refurbishment within the city. All these have contributed to the increase of stationary GHG emissions by 3%.Despite the observed weather fluctuations, the synergies of technological changes both in national (significant increase of RES in the electricity energy mix, funding energy-saving actions in residencies), and in municipal level (increase of composting), have led to a marginal GHGs increase, in relation to the primary consumption increase.Thanks to the increase of composting at municipal level, GHG emissions from waste have reduced by 23%.Regarding transport, GHG emissions have increased by 9%, in comparison to 2018, following the respective trend of European cities (https://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/indicators/transport-emissions-of-greenhouse-gases-7/assessment). As the country was leaving austerity measures in 2019, the use of private cars increased in the capital's streets.IPPU has decreased by 11%, in relation to 2018, while AFOLU is marginal for the city of Athens.Ref:Yasmeen R., (2019) Top 100 City Destinations 2019 Edition.

Please give a general description and introduction to your city including your city’s reporting boundary in the table below. | For the year 2035 the objective is reduce primary energy consumption by 35% compared to the base year 2005. This goal was achieved in the year 2020. Replace fossil fuels and nuclear power with waste heat and renewable energies – this approach has the greatest potential for using less primary energy. Considerably more buildings than today are heated with heat from waste, cleaned waste water or with biogas. A significant increase in heating networks and the energetic improvement of the building shells of existing properties make this possible. In addition to the households, all business customers also only buy electricity from renewable sources in 2050, despite the liberalisation of the electricity market. Other great potential for reduction is discernible in the equipment and renovation of buildings (blue areas). A substantial energy saving is possible if efficient devices and lightings are increasingly used. The prerequisite, however, is that only small rebound effects occur. The scenario assumes that within the framework of ordinary redevelopments substantially more building shells are optimised with regard to energy and that intelligent building technology is used. Finally, measures that reduce the energy consumption of aviation also have an important effect. | 0 | 176,874 |
Please describe how your city’s risk or vulnerability assessment addresses the following key requirements as defined by the Global Covenant, and provide details on the location of this evidence within your assessment. | Revised/updated total 2016 inventory (12,541,758 MT CO2e) is 2.3% less than revised/updated total 2010 baseline inventory of 12,842,628 MT CO2e.Revised 2016 inventory is also lower by 0.4% than revised total 2015 inventory (12,589,945 MT CO2e).The largest emissions reductions were from energy use sources, as a result of decrease in natural gas usage and a cleaner electricity grid, compared to 2010 baseline year. These reductions were partially offset by increases in industrial processes and transportation emissions, largely due to the economic recovery since the recession. Excluding industrial process emissions, overall emissions (energy, transportation, waste) fell from 9.2 MT C02e in 2010 to 8.3 MT CO2e in 2016, a 10% decrease.When we also compare GHG emissions against economic growth as measured by Gross Regional Product (GRP), from 2010 to 2016, we see an 13% decrease in MTCO2e/GRP, showing signs of de-coupling - emissions going down, while economic activity goes up. | 0 | 6,734 |

Account for your organization’s gross global Scope 3 emissions, disclosing and explaining any exclusions. | Investments in the electric power generation sector tend to be very capital intensive and long-lived (e.g. 40 or more years for generation). The substantial investments in power generation and transmission and distribution businesses creates financial exposure if future regulations are not appropriately anticipated and risks managed. Uncertainty surrounding new climate change and environmental regulation takes many forms, including a risk that these regulations may not value all low carbon technologies equally. Exelon is one of the largest competitive U.S. power generators, with more than 32,460 megawatts of owned capacity comprising one of the nation's cleanest and lowest-cost power generation fleets. Because a substantial portion of Exelon's generation portfolio is comprised of nuclear generation, should climate change regulations develop in a way that does not recognize zero carbon generation from nuclear or should climate change regulation fail to come about, Exelon may not be able to capture full potential value for the generation from these assets. Exelon and Generation continue to evaluate the current and expected economic value of each of Generation's nuclear plants. Factors that affect the economic value of Generation's nuclear plants include, but are not limited to: market power prices, results of capacity auctions, potential legislative and regulatory solutions to ensure nuclear plants are fairly compensated for their carbon-free emissions, and the efforts of states to implement those final rules. | 0 | 377,787 |
Provide details of opportunities identified with the potential to have a substantive financial or strategic impact on your business. | Climate change has been identified as the primary theme driving the industry in which we operate for the foreseeable future. Increased stringency of GHG regulations and/or carbon pricing represent significant risks but also opportunities for us to proactively reduce our emissions and compliance costs. Our Genesee Generating Station is a world-class leader in the carbon transition and is a major focus of our efforts to decrease our carbon footprint and evaluate options to reduce and eventually eliminate coal as part of our fuel mix. In 2018, we completed the second year of our innovative five-year Genesee Performance Standard, a $35M efficiency improvement program aimed at reducing GHG emissions by ~ 1M tonnes and improving the efficiency of our coal-fired facilities by 10% by 2021. While we assess the timing to fully convert the units to natural gas, no later than 2030, we are able to take advantage of low natural gas prices and co-fire opportunistically with coal. We tested co-firing solid biofuels with coal, which could replace up to 15% of the coal used by a single unit and further reduce our emissions and reliance on coal pre-2030. | 0 | 60,491 |

Please identify and describe the factors that most greatly affect your city’s ability to adapt to climate change and indicate how those factors either support or challenge this ability. | Migration can be considered from two points of view: immigration and emigration. Immigration, which in Milan more than doubled since 1999, in Italy as in many nations in the rest of Europe has been a major issue, mainly because of the needs of regularizing the new citizens and of providing more services for many more people with a low income. The other issue that Italy is facing is the emigration of young people with a university degree: data shows that, even though the overall amount of residents in Milan increased by almost 60000 of people in the last 20 years, the amount of local residents decreased by almost 111000 of people. This means that Milan as Italy is losing potentially medium-high income citizens and gaining low-income ones, which in the long term will be likely to cause the city and the whole nation to lose wealth. | 1 | 14,166 |
