Project of Improving the New Energy System to Address Climate Change in Meilong Sancun, Shanghai
This project aims to be implemented in Meilong Sancun, located in the Lingyun Community of Xuhui District, Shanghai. The village consists of three residential areas and primarily serves as a residential community. The majority of residents have a low to middle-income level, and a significant portion of the housing units are rented out to migrant workers from other regions. The village faces the challenges of a high aging population, with 29% of residents aged 60 and above, exceeding the national aging standard. Additionally, there is a large population of disabled individuals, accounting for nearly 2% of the total population.
Main Problems:
1.Balancing urban development, improving living conditions in older residential areas, and achieving low-carbon development is a key challenge in densely populated and complex cities. However, previous low-carbon practices have not adequately addressed energy consumption, renewable energy production, and household carbon emissions within communities.
2.The high aging population in Meilong Sancun requires infrastructure improvements, such as elderly-friendly facilities and additional elevators. However, these renovations often result in high energy consumption and increased carbon emissions. It is crucial to find a balance between enhancing the community's quality of life and addressing emission issues. Moreover, there is a need to establish a baseline for carbon emissions, identify emission hotspots, and develop a data-driven carbon emission assessment system.
Solutions and Activities:
1.Identify the potential and barriers of renewable energy applications within the community, enhance renewable energy generation, storage, and consumption capacity in public areas, and explore pathways to achieve both emission reduction and livability goals at the community level.
2.Advocate for the government to set emission reduction targets that align with the community's actual conditions through policy recommendations.
3.Raise residents' awareness of energy, carbon emissions, and climate change, promote energy-saving and emission reduction practices, encourage green energy consumption, and use effective communication to inspire community-wide action against climate change.
Anticipated Results:
1.Expand the use of renewable energy within the community, optimize green energy applications in public areas, increase renewable energy installation by at least 20%, establish energy storage systems, and achieve 100% consumption of green energy within the community.
2.Conduct a comprehensive investigation of carbon emission factors, calculate carbon emissions, and provide policy recommendations for setting emission reduction targets in the community, influencing government departments in their planning for emission reduction.
3.Enhance residents' awareness of energy-saving and emission reduction, promote green energy consumption behaviors, and achieve wide outreach. Conduct popular science campaigns on "energy, carbon emissions, and climate change" reaching over 95% of households in the community, with the participation of at least 98% of the community population.
