The City of Stavanger will endeavor to ensure that all stages of the chain, from waste collection and to recycling and final treatment, is optimized with a view to minimizing greenhouse gas emissions. Based on experience, there is a greater benefit in correct treatment of the waste fractions, while transport only accounts for a minor part of overall emissions. Nevertheless all elements will be reviewed:

Studies prove that material recovery is in most instances better for the climate than is energy production from waste.
The City of Stavanger therefore aims to increase its recycling portion from 65% at present to 75% at the expiry of the plan period.

The City of Stavanger will reinforce its land development policy with a focus on concentrating new developments along public transport axes with a good mixture of residential housing and workplaces:
1. As part of the Cities of the Future project, Stavanger will draw up an overall plan for development along public transport axes to achieve considerably reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
2. We will facilitate self-contained neighborhoods which will reduce transportation needs.
3. Safe and simple transport will be a priority along with parking lots at traffic hubs.

The City of Stavanger is deeply committed to enabling increased use of environmentally friendly means of transport which is a vital factor, not just to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, but also for improvements regarding pollution, noise, land use and health.
1. Stavanger will work for a more robust public transport system with improved regularity
2. Stavanger will enforce a more restrictive public parking policy and encourage the use of public transport, walking or bicycling.
3. Stavanger will facilitate safe bicycle parking at public transport hubs with sufficient capacity to ensure availability at all times
4. The bicycle paths/network will be significantly improved, especially in urban areas. We will make biking to work a much more convenient and attractive proposition.

The City of Stavanger will help reinforce and develop expertise in the field of energy and climate in buildings. Competence throughout the delivery chain is absolutely fundamental to safeguard the quality we want to achieve in future-oriented new-builds and renovations. The municipality will:
1. Identify pilot projects under the municipality's auspices and applying the principle of learning by doing and reflecting.
2. Act as a driving for coordinating teaching programs in the region to deal with the issues of energy, the environment and climate, and also to prepare a plan for skills upgrading for people/employees in the industry
3. Participate in experience exchange by setting up professional/institutional networks on a regional, national, and international scale for knowledge sharing (though seminars, conferences, study trips, etc.)
4. Set up an Enova regional office/sustainable centre for the regional community to draw upon Enova's competence concerning support schemes /subsidies, and use these actively in our development projects.

A regional energy and heating plan for the Jæren region is vital to achieve comprehensive thinking, viable overall solutions and solutions to accommodate the different parts of the municipality and region. Consumption and energy supply must be seen in context:
1. The City of Stavanger will contribute actively to having regional plans prepared and a commitment by the involved parties Stavanger will take the lead in its own development projects and strive for good, comprehensive solutions.
2. Stavanger will require that new-builds shall comply with class B classification criteria for energy use and consumption, but carry out pilot projects of passive houses with a view to erecting class A passive houses only in the near future.
3. We will strive to use local energy resources, as large a proportion of renewables as possible and LCC analyses and greenhouse gas accounts will be used as a basis for financial and climatic assessments.
4. The City will employ the new Planning and Building Act to direct new developments and draw up strict tender criteria with regard to energy consumption and the percentage of renewables to be used.
5. Quality criteria will be prepared in order to facilitate right decisions.
The City of Stavanger will help motivate Stavanger inhabitants to act in a more resource-aware manner. We need to attain a lifestyle and behavioral patterns that will utilize energy and raw materials in a better way - without a deterioration of the citizens' fundamental quality of life:

The City of Stavanger intends to phase out its use of oil and propane and invest in
renewables and energy efficiency measures. The municipality has begun by introducing
energy efficiency measures and control in its own buildings.
All oil and propane based heating will be discontinued as soon as feasible. Plans will be
drawn up as soon as possible.
The City of Stavanger will take the lead, and follow up the energy efficiency plan for
municipal buildings, 2008, and deliver a 20% reduction in energy consumption by 2020.
Stavanger will test out passive house standards in two renovation projects in order to
gather experience and know-how for future renovations and decisions on standards.
Stavanger will introduce a joint follow-up system for energy (EOS).
Stavanger will take an active part in the County authority's proposals on Energy Cut 20,
and will complete a pilot project.

The city environment has much to gain from a better coordination of transport and logistics. Stavanger will contribute to improved coordination.
1. The City of Stavanger will set up a collaboration with other parties in the region to ensure the necessary standard of service for our citizens and companies regarding parking, car and bicycle schemes, tax policies, information etc. This may eventually become a "mobility office".
2. Stavanger will evaluate and test out options for using ITS for traffic control and giving priority to buses and public transport
3. Stavanger is committed to building an urban railway system
4. The City will take measures to improve our own, overall transport policy.

As a municipal organization, the City of Stavanger has the opportunity and obligation to work actively to minimize its own material consumption and waste generation. The City of Stavanger will thus make its own experiences in a more eco-friendly consumption of resources, and install positive attitudes and awareness among its employees. We will also take the lead and act as a good example for both private citizens and commercial players in the municipality. The following measures are relevant:
1. Special focus on waste and resource consumption issues in connection with Eco-Lighthouse and Green Flag certification.
2. Explicit formulation and active adherence to environmental requirements, such as climate effect and material consumption, when purchasing goods and services. Buy CO2 quotas for
specific activities.
3. Balanced scorecard (BASIS) indicators stating consumption of materials and energy to be used in all municipal undertakings.
4. Conducting a pilot project "Waste avoidance in the activities". Three different municipal undertakings to be enabled to systematically review their resource consumption and adhere to a plan to minimize waste.
5. Establishing an intranet-based "second-hand market" in the local administration. This would be where departments with goods to spare, e.g. office furniture, may place an ad, while other departments can post their requirements in the 'wanted' column.
6. Eco driving courses (how to drive eco-friendly) for all employees driving municipal vehicles.

The City of Stavanger will facilitate for enhanced use of environmentally friendly vehicles:
1. The City will contribute to information on the importance of car technology with regard to emissions.
2. The City will lead the way by choosing the best possible technology for its own vehicles, and help facilitate for charging of electric cars and filling of gas and hydrogen cars.
3. The City will work to influence central authorities on suitable regulations in favor of eco-friendly technologies.

In the first phase, the City of Stavanger wants all buildings in the municipality to have a low energy profile, class B. This is well below today's TEK regulations, but at a level which will come in a few years. The administration will also conduct to passive house pilot projects to gather information on the effect of investments required and to see whether passive housing will be the standard of tomorrow. Stavanger will:
1. Use analyses for Life Cycle Costs (LCC) and climate gas accounts in new building projects to give us best possible comparative data for alternative solutions.
2. Stipulate requirements for building standards and the percentage renewables for new buildings. Quality criteria will be drawn up.
3. Make use of tenders to develop the best energy solutions for development areas
4. Increase the share of biofuel and biogas, to comply with the requirements in the new standards.
