  9. Potential projects for Durban: Energy efficiency – Oslo replaced 10,000 street lights with high-pressure sodium bulbs and installed system that reduces light levels when need is low. Energy consumption reduced by 70% CO2 emissions cut by 1,440 tonnes/year. Ports – Göteborg, Sweden implemented system to replace polluting onboard diesel power generation of ships at berth with renewable energy from wind turbines. System has resulted in a 94-97 % reduction in emissions at berth for participating ships. Mitigation Best Practices

  10. Potential projects for Durban: Renewable Energy – Melbourne installed the largest urban grid-connected solar system on the roof of a historic market building resulting in CO2 reduction of 1,310 tonnes since 2003. Transport – San Francisco's Clean Air Vehicle program is a requirement for city fleets to utilize energy efficient and alternative fuel vehicles. The CO2 reduction is close to 5,350 tonnes per year. Mitigation Best Practices

  11. Companies from China will be invited to Durban to share best practices in clean production, eco-efficient management, carbon-friendly designs, processes and products. China-Africa collaboration

  12. Why should industry participate? • Opportunity to advance the triple bottom line (profits, people, planet) • Opportunity to reduce company cost base and be more competitive • Opportunity to tap new revenue streams for green products and trade • Opportunity to access new financing for green investment • Opportunity to enhance corporate governance • Opportunity to lead public policy and regulation
