To successfully enable the clean energy transition, shared policy frameworks between local and senior levels of government are necessary. This session will explore the leadership role of cities around the world and opportunities for collaborative governance.
Speakers:
British Columbia’s Energy Step Code, an innovative policy framework developed to rapidly move new building construction to near net-zero, has generated a boom in new net-zero construction and is rapidly accelerating the market transformation process. But its innovation also extends to its development, where it was collaboratively shaped by diverse private and public stakeholders and provides a model for successful multi-level governance. In this session, stakeholders will speak to the collaborative process, policy architecture, challenges, successes and impacts.
Speakers:
How can local and senior governments coordinate and collaborate to drive climate action that advances other complementary policy priorities? In this session, Ken Alex will speak to California’s precedent-setting work in this area, sharing key lessons learned along the way. National and local perspectives will also be explored.
Speakers:
This session will invite perspectives on the processes, players and underpinnings for advancing collaborative governance and policy alignment from today’s sessions and in conversation with former Vancouver mayor and newly appointed Ambassador to the Global Covenant of Mayors, Gregor Robertson.
