12% of current annual emissions. These are savings achieved from the expansion of
wind power and biomass for combined heat and power in the 2025 Climate Plan.
Maintaining its global leadership position will require delivering further building
upgrades within its own public stock and incentivizing private building owners to
take action to improve the efficiency of their buildings. The city will also have to
stimulate a market shift towards cleaner vehicles and a modal shift towards low
carbon public transportation. The report indicates that intelligent administrative
inner-city infrastructure investments in energy or mass transit must be accompanied
by effective incentives for the private sector, as well as a good national framework
to promote alternative mobility and cost-effective renewable energy (Fig. 9).
