MOTIVATION TO ENGAGE IN STANDARDS • Growing awareness of the interconnectedness of urban development issues; • Increasing number (and confusion) of sustainabiity related commitments; • Obvious pressure to foster and mainstream sustainable development globally and through local action; • Political and factual emphasis on urban areas as part of the problem and part of the solution; • Relatively slow up-take of integrated sustainable development programmes in cities and towns in Europe and globally; • Lack of local capacities • Lack of clear • Lack of commonly agreed (quality) support services • Growing number of initiatives to benchmarking and rating of cities based on indicators - including by the private sector – merely uncomparable and of diverting quality to implement sustainable urban development programmes; mandates based on legal requirements; criteria for sustainability management processes and Supporting Local Authoritites in the Development and Integration of SEAPs with Energy management Systems.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS WHO IS ADDRESSED BY STANDARDS? • ALL THAT WOULD ENGAGE IN LOCAL SUSTAINABILITY PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT, LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN PARTICULAR (FOR MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES, PROCUREMENT). • COMPANIES, INVESTORS, AUDITORS What is the state of process? • Some standards are published (ISO 37101, ISO 37120). Some pilots to inform revision. Who can engage? • All. Also cities and their associations are invited to participate in standardisation either directly or through public consultations. Who produces and publishes standards? • Working groups based on work item proposals. • Procedure involves several steps of commenting at national and international level. • Publication is done by ISO following balloting procedure.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS DO CITIES NEED TO FOLLOW ISO 371 XX? • NO. CITIES MAY USE STANDARDS, IF WISHED (MOTTO: ‚LEARN FROM OTHERS ‘; ‚FROM PILOT TO MAINSTREAM‘). Are standards mandatory? Or could they be? • Standards are voluntary. • They could get mandatory through self-commitment or certification. Also, once introduced, procedures tend to be durable. • References in legal text could generate obligation. A legal reference, however, would be legally and technically assessed. Then, obligation is generated by legislation, not by the standard itself. It can be assumed that, then, the government would like to see the obligation established, anyways Is a benchmarking intended or established? • Not implicit. It is intended that performance is measured against ambition. However, third parties might offer benchmarking – as long as cities would like to voluntary participate therein (eg. World Council on City Data). Supporting Local Authoritites in the Development and Integration of SEAPs with Energy management Systems. According to ISO 500001 www. 50001 seaps. eu @50001 SEAPs 21

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS ARE CITIES OBLIGED TO USE CERTAIN • NO. APPLICATION IS VOLUNTARY, UNLESS PARTICIPATION IN PROGRAMME OF A THIRD PARTY IS INDICATORS? ENVISAGED (EG. WCCD) • THE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ACCORDING TO ISO 37101 SUPPORTS PRIORITIZATION BASED ON MATRIX WITH SIX ‚PURPOSES‘ AND 12 ‚ISSUES‘. MONITORING OF PERFORMANCE ALONG THESE PRIORITIES MAY USE ISO 37120 INDICATORS. IS ISO 37120 APPLICABLE IN EU? • TO A LIMITED EXTEND: CERTAIN DATA MIGHT NOT BE ABLE DELINEATE TO THE GIVEN ADMINISTRATIVE BORDERS OF CITIES. • THE REVISED STANDARD 37120 MIGHT BE ABLE TO SUPPORT IMPLEMENTATION OF UN SDG AND ISRFSC. ISO 371 XX ‚ECONOMY FRIENDLY‘? • YES, BUT ALSO NOT ‚HOSTILE‘ TO PUBLIC SECTOR. CORE ASPECTS INCLUDE ‚FORESIGHT‘, ‚RELIABILITY‘, ‚MONITORING AND VERIFICATION. • THE 371 XX FAMILIY CAN BE USED AS REFERENCE DOCUMENT FOR EDUCATION, CONSULTATION, AUDITS AS WELL AS IT SUPPORT A COMMON TERMINOLOGY.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS WILL STANDARDS REPLACE OR INFLUENCE LOCAL POLICY PROCESSES? • LOCAL DEBATES WILL BE SUPPORTED, NOT REPLACED, THROUGH: • ISO 37101 aims at capacitizing cities and communities to better coordinate the participatory development and implementation of a local sustainability programme within a reliable procedure. The standard supports ‚good governance‘ by describing a coherent, community-based management approach including guidance to ‚smartness‘ and ‚resilience‘. A practical guidance for cities on the ‚how‘ is under development (ISO 37104). The ‚what‘ is left to local decision-making. • ISO 37120 recommends a selection of indicators for local reporting on life-quality. The selection is voluntary and based on local priorities. • ISO 37150 provides a reference framework for ‚smart urban infrastructures‘ based on use cases.

IN BRIEF ● Cities increasingly are considered ‘global players’ for sustainable development. . ● Global policy processes for sustainable development consider cities as integrated part of policy development and implementation. . ● Reliable procedures and supporting instruments can help cities to implement cities’ commitments effectively and efficiently and prove performance. ● Standards can serve cities as reference and quality assurance in their sustainability processes dienen.
