2 Ladies and Gentlemen, The City of Warsaw, aspiring to become the “green metropolis”, sets itself a prospective goal of ensuring a high standard of living for its residents in conditions of sustainable development and respect for the natural environment. Like other cities in our region we approach issues related to climate protection with care because we are aware of the risks coming from the negative effects of progressive climate changes stimulated by civilization development. Bearing in mind that only through joint, coordinated efforts we can contribute to reduction of emission of solid pollutants and greenhouse gases to atmosphere, Warsaw actively participates in projects related to climate protection. In February 2009 Warsaw joined the “Covenant of Mayors”, initiative under the patronage of the European Commission, associating European local governments acting to limit climate changes. Following signing the “Covenant of Mayors”, on September 8th 2011 Warsaw City Council adopted a Sustainable Energy Action Plan for Warsaw in the perspective of 2020. It is first document of this magnitude that presents an integrated approach to energy management at the level of Warsaw local government. Implementation of the Action Plan shall bring direct and tangible benefits for Warsaw residents. The pursuit to reduce solid pollutants and GHG emissions will improve air quality, greater attention to efficient and rational use of energy will reduce household bills for energy, while strengthening preferences for public transport will be an impulse for developments, which in consequence will allow Warsaw residents to use public transport more comfortably. However, we have to remember that the key to success of the Action Plan are comprehensive actions at various levels of management and in many areas. The success of actions outlined in the document will be determined by involvement of all stakeholders. It means sound cooperation of city units, external institutions and companies and Warsaw residents. As a result of implementation of the Sustainable Energy Action Plan for Warsaw in the perspective of 2020, Warsaw has the opportunity to become national leader in the implementation of sustainable energy policy programme for reduction of energy consumption, creation of pro-environmental transportation system and development of renewable energy generation in urban areas.

Introduction Pursuant to Resolution No. XLIX/1495/2009 of Warsaw City Council dated 5 February 2009, on 10.02.2009, the City of Warsaw joined the “Covenant of Mayors” involving European Local Governments in actions aimed at the improvement in energy efficiency and climate protection. The initiative was developed under the auspices of the European Commission, in connection with the adopting of the energy and climate package by the Council of Europe, which assumes, inter alia, the reduction in the use of energy within European Union by 20% by year 2020 and the reduction of the greenhouse gases emission by 20%. The key document prepared under this initiative and adopted by the Warsaw City Council is the Sustainable Energy Action Plan for Warsaw in the perspective of 2020. Complete document is available on the website of the Warsaw City Hall at: http://infrastruktura.um.warszawa.pl/aktualnosci/efektywne-wykorzystanie-energii/plan-dzialan-na- rzeczzrownowazonego- uzycia-energii-dla. Its intention is to suggest to the City’s institutions, residents of Warsaw and all of the stakeholders functioning in the City potential directions and methods of action, concerning the sustainable energy consumption in Warsaw within a perspective until the year 2020, in connection with the objectives of the EU energy policy, i.e. the reduction in the emissions of CO2. The ceremony of signing the Covenant of Mayors, Brussels, 10 February 2009. Phot. Paul O’Driscoll 3 The plan includes, in particular, a list of activities undertaken in the following areas: • construction, including new and exhaustively retrofitted buildings, • city infrastructure, i.e. heat distribution networks, street lighting systems, etc. • land management and urban planning, • renewable energy sources, • transportation policy, • civil, in the area of the involvement of residents, • the pro-efficiency behaviour of residents, consumers and enterprises. The implementation of actions contained in the Action Plan will bring direct benefits to the residents of Warsaw among others in the form of: • the improvement in comfort and the reduction in travel time in the means of public transport due to the priority role given for public transport in the City, • the improvement of air quality by reducing emissions of gases and solid pollutants in energy facilities and public transport as a result of the transition to alternative fuels and the use of RES, • the increase in the degree of energy security of the City and a significant reduction in maintenance costs of residential buildings and public buildings by reducing energy consumption as a result of comprehensive thermal retrofit activities, modernisation and the replacement of lightning, office equipment and household appliances. The document in the form of Sustainable Energy Action Plan for Warsaw in the perspective of 2020 has been drawn up on the basis of an expert study prepared in 2010-2011 by a consortium of companies: the Polish National Energy Conservation Agency and the National Energy Conservation Agency, on behalf of the City of Warsaw. The ceremony of signing the Covenant of Mayors, Brussels, 10 February 2009. Phot. Paul O’Driscoll 4 2. Warsaw today The main source of greenhouse gas emissions in Warsaw is the energy sector, which represents 78% of the share in the total emissions. Emissions from transport accounts for 15% of the total greenhouse gas emissions in Warsaw. Passenger cars have the largest share of emissions from transport. In Warsaw 40% of all travel takes place within individual transport. This type of transport generates nearly 60% of pollution on a global basis and nearly 80% of the pollution emitted locally. Trucks and vans have little impact on the level of emissions in Warsaw. 32% of travels occurs by buses. The emission of pollution caused by buses is at a level below 6%, taking into account global emissions, and 7.5% in the structure of local emissions. Other travels, whose share is estimated at 28%, take place in trams, metro and trains. The smallest share of the total greenhouse gas emissions is from the municipal waste management sector and the municipal wastewater treatment process - in 2007, just over 7%. This is the only area where there has been a gradual reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. This is mainly due to the investments implemented in this sector - the expansion of the “Radiowo” compost plant and the construction of Municipal Solid Waste Incineration Plant. The following chart shows the shares of major sectors of greenhouse gas emissions in Warsaw.

The objective of the Action Plan for the improvement of energy efficiency and reduction in greenhouse gas emissions Determining the value of the objective of the plan for the improvement in energy efficiency and reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, the base year 2007 has been adopted as the basis for the Action Plan. The value of the environmental objective that cannot be exceeded in 2020, in Sustainable Energy Action Plan for Warsaw in the perspective of 2020, was estimated at 80% of CO2 emissions in the base year 2007, that is - 10 362 387 Mg CO2/year. Additionally adopted auxiliary indicative objective of 80% of energy consumption in 2007 means that the maximum energy consumption in 2020 should not exceed 22 715 545 MWh/year. Energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions for the base year 2007 are shown on the charts below divided by type of energy carriers.
