Description (excerpt):

 

The Low Carbon Future Cities project (LCFC) aims to develop an integrated urban low carbon adaptation and circular economy strategy to harness the potential for CO2 mitigation in urban areas by engaging cities and stakeholders in both China and Germany in an integrated approach. The challenge of combining mitigation, adaptation and resource efficiency is the focus of WP3. The analysis is based on the development of low carbon scenarios that describe how low carbon development, which significantly reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and enforces carbon neutral development, is possible for the city of Wuxi in the coming decades.

Two possible path way s have been developed: firstly, the Low Carbon Technology Scenario (LCTS) and, secondly, the more ambitious Extra Low Carbon Scenario (ELCS). The consideration of the future importance of air conditioning systems in the building sector provides the link to the adaptation dimension. In selected areas of the ELCS ( the energy and building sectors) the impact on stock flow and material inputs are also analysed. The analyses in this report build on the previous work in the project, especially on the development of the Current Policy Scenario (CPS), which describes a business as usual development pathway.
