In January 2008 the European Commission proposed binding legislation to implement the
CLIMATE AND ENERGY PACKAGECLIMATE AND ENERGY PACKAGE
It was agreed by the European Parliament and Council in December 2008 and became law in June 2009.
It set a series of demanding targets to be met by 2020, known as the "20-20-20" targets.
1.- 20% EU greenhouse gas emissions below 1990 levels2.+20% of EU energy consumption from renewable resources3.- 20% in primary energy use to be achieved by improving energy efficiency

DIRECT INVOLVEMENT of local and regional authorities. For the first time the DGENER gets in touch directly with the local level
It is a VOLUNTARY COMMITMENT by signatories to meet and exceed the EU 20% CO2 reduction objective. It goes beyond what is requested by law in matter of urban planning
It is based on the adoption of a flexible instrument called SEAP which can be adapted to the progress towards goals
Mayors commit to…

Define Baseline yearsIs the year against which the achievements of the emission reductions in 2020 shall be collected.
Collecting dataQuantification of following emissions that occur due to energy consumption in the territory of the local authority:
DIRECT EMISSIONS: fuel combustion
INDIRECT EMISSIONS: production of electricity, heat or cold consumed in the territory
OTHER DIRECT EMISSIONS: depending on the choice of BEI
SECTORS TO INCLUDE IN BEI

R3 EcoGIS is a web-based instrument for municipalities, to monitor CO2-emissions and energy consumption. Data on buildings, traffic, industry, etc. can be entered through a user-friendly interface, including the position on the ground. Different tools allow to monitor emissions, simulate the effect of different CO2-reduction interventions and test different scenarios. All data can be exported in the format foreseen by the Covenant of Mayors.
