As the world continues to move to being more urban, these governments
will be in the best place to push the climate change agenda on to the
world stage. Many already have climate change action plans and are
moving well beyond their national government commitments.
For example, all of the buses in Sacramento, California are now run on
compressed natural gas. Many are using biodiesel fuels and are
building trails to get people out of their automobiles. Some cities
are now providing free parking for hybrid or electric cars. Salt Lake
City has reduced their emissions by 21% or 22,000 tons per year. In
the United States, over 160 communities have reported annual savings of
over $600 million dollars as a result of reducing their emissions by 23
million tons.
