2030 Districts: Putting Ideas into Action
As of 2016,fifteen 2030 Districts? have formed across North America to implement the carbon reduction targets set by Architecture 2030 for existing buildings through energy,water and vehicle emissions reductions.2030 Districts? are unique private/public partnerships that bring property owners,managers and developers together with local governments,businesses and community stakeholders to provide a business model for urban sustainability through collaboration,leveraged financing,and shared resources.Together they engage local community stakeholders to benchmark,develop and implement creative strategies,best practices and verification methods for measuring progress towards common goals.The majority of 2030 Districts are located in downtown commercial cores and city centres,which typically have the highest and most concentrated energy and environmental impact.There,the reduction of energy and water consumption,transportation emissions,and improved indoor air quality provides the additional benefit of increased competitiveness in the business environment and owners returns on investment.Several of the Districts that are vulnerable to environmental threats such as flooding also focus on community and economic resilience.This paper will explore the achievements of the 2030 Districts in meeting their carbon reduction targets,and their impact on raising awareness of climate change and mobilizing community action.It will also explore some of the challenges of fighting climate change at a community level and provide guidance for emerging 2030 Districts and/or cities interested in establishing 2030 Districts.
