Climate and Energy THE NEED FOR ACTION It has been found from a study that the carbon dioxide concentration in atmosphere is the highest in human history, as of May 2020. Around 11% of greenhouse gas emission all over the world caused by humans are because of deforestation, comparable to the emission from all the vehicles on planet. Climate change is transforming the planet and the last 5 years are hottest on record. As the temperature increases, the threat of powerful storms, exceptional global heat, rising sea levels, severe wildfires and retreating ice are becoming far more possibly. If it continues unabated, then it will have devastating consequences. Thus, this makes it crucial to act towards it. The Calgary Stampede event is vulnerable to disaster-related risks because of various hazards and threats which can exist in city. Hazards like hail, flooding, infrastructure failures, winter storms and tornadoes can have noteworthy consequences to natural, social, economic and government systems. The sources of greenhouse gas emissions and energy use in the event includes transportation and electricity production. OBJECTIVES The main sustainability objectives associated with climate and energy adopted in the Calgary Stampede event includes – 1.To measure and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. 2.To be accountable for unavoidable greenhouse gas emissions by carbon offsetting. 3.To assess and prepare for extreme weather risks anticipated to increase due to climate change. BEST PRACTICES TO ACHIEVE OBJECTIVES In order to accomplish the objectives at the events, the best are as follows: 1.Developing and executing programs to support alternative/ zero emissions commuting methods as well as infrastructure. 2.Improving the energy management. 3.Using products with minimal packaging helps in reducing waste. 4.Plant trees in the event. 1
