The global environmental impact non-profit CDP,holds information from  over 570 of the world&rsquo;s cities and names over 100 (see list below) now  getting at least 70% of their electricity from renewable sources such as  hydro, geothermal, solar and wind.<\/p>\n<p>The list includes large cities such as  Auckland (New Zealand); Nairobi (Kenya); Oslo (Norway); Seattle (USA)  and Vancouver (Canada), and is more than double the<\/p>\n<p>CDP&rsquo;s analysis comes on the same day the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uk100.org\/\">UK100<\/a>&nbsp;network  of local government leaders announce that over 80 UK towns and cities  have committed to 100% clean energy by 2050, including Manchester,  Birmingham, Newcastle, Glasgow and 16 London boroughs.<\/p>\n<p>According to the World Economic Forum,  unsubsidized renewables were the cheapest source of electricity in 30  countries in 2017, with renewables predicted to be consistently more  cost effective than fossil fuels globally by 2020.<\/p>\n<p>The new data has been released ahead of  the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) conference in  Edmonton, Canada on 5th March, when city government and science leaders  will meet on the role of cities in tackling climate change.<\/p>\n<p>Cities named by CDP as already powered by 100% renewable electricity include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Burlington, USA: <\/strong>Vermont&rsquo;s largest  city now obtains 100% of its electricity from wind, solar, hydro, and  biomass. The city has its own utility and citywide grid. In September  2014 the local community approved the city&rsquo;s purchase of its &lsquo;Winooski  One&rsquo; Hydroelectric Facility.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reykjavik, Iceland<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong>  sources all electricity from hydropower and geothermal, and is now  working to make all cars and public transit fossil-free by 2040. Iceland  has almost entirely transitioned to clean energy for power and  household heating.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Basel, Switzerland:&nbsp;<\/strong>is 100%  renewable powered by its own energy supply company. Most electricity  comes from hydropower and 10% from wind. Advocating clear political  vision and will, in May 2017 Switzerland voted to phase out nuclear  power in favour of renewable energy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>CDP&rsquo;s 2017 data highlights how cities  are stepping up action on climate change with a sharp rise in  environmental reporting, emissions reduction targets and climate action  plans since 2015, following the ground-breaking Paris Agreement to limit  global warming to below 2 degrees.<\/p>\n<p>here is a growing momentum of the  renewable energy cities movement beyond the UK, with cities around the  world now aiming to switch from fossil fuels to 100% renewable energy by  2050.<\/p>\n<p>In the United States, 58 cities and  towns have now committed to transition to 100% clean, renewable energy,  including big cities like Atlanta (Georgia) and San Diego (California).  Earlier this month, U.S. municipalities Denton (Texas) and St. Louis  Park (Minnesota), became the latest communities to establish 100%  renewable energy targets. In addition to these recent pledges, CDP data  shows a further 23 global cities targeting 100% renewable energy.<\/p>\n<p>Much of the drive behind city climate  action and reporting comes from the 7,000+ mayors signed up to The  Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy who have pledged to act  on climate change.<\/p>\n<p>Kyra Appleby, Director of Cities, CDP  said: &ldquo;Cities are responsible for 70% of energy-related CO2 emissions  and there is immense potential for them to lead on building a  sustainable economy. Reassuringly, our data shows much commitment and  ambition. Cities not only want to shift to renewable energy but, most  importantly &ndash; they can. We urge all cities to disclose to us, work  together to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement and prioritize the  development of ambitious renewable energy procurement strategies. The  time to act is now.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Showing a diverse mix of energy sources,  275 cities are now reporting the use of hydropower, with 189 generating  electricity from wind and 184 using solar photovoltaics. An additional  164 use biomass and 65 geothermal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mayor Miro Weinberger of Burlington, Vermont, USA<\/strong>, <strong>added:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Burlington, Vermont is proud to have  been the first city in the United States to source 100 percent of our  power from renewable generation. Through our diverse mix of biomass,  hydro, wind, and solar, we have seen first-hand that renewable energy  boosts our local economy and creates a healthier place to work, live,  and raise a family. We encourage other cities around the globe to follow  our innovative path as we all work toward a more sustainable energy  future.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>CDP reports that cities are currently  instigating renewable energy developments valued at US$2.3 billion,  across nearly 150 projects. This forms part of a wider shift by cities  to develop 1,000 clean infrastructure projects, such as electric  transport and energy efficiency, worth over US$52 billion.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cdp.net\/en\/cities\/world-renewable-energy-cities\">Click here for a full view of cities generating electricity from renewables!<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-images\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"349\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sonnenseite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Basel_chiaro_di_luna.jpg\" class=\"alignleft\" alt=\"pixabay.com | chiaro_di_luna | Basel, Switzerland: is 100% renewable powered by its own energy supply company.
