I have read the information below about the ICLEI150 and the Race to Zero commitment and I
understand all that is expected of me, my staff, and ICLEI USA. By signing below, I agree to
participate and to allow ICLEI to publish our commitment, target, and actions on the ICLEI USA
website and to report this information to the global Cities Race to Zero platform.
I pledge to join the ICLEI150 on the Race to Zero on behalf of the City of Dania Beach,
Florida.
Race To Zero is a global campaign (established June 2020) of the United Nations’ Climate
Champions to rally leadership and support from businesses, cities, regions, investors for a
healthy, resilient, zero-carbon recovery that prevents future threats, creates decent jobs,
and unlocks inclusive, sustainable growth.
ICLEI’s Climate Neutrality Framework provides a framework to engage with the Race to Zero
and calls for the necessary level of ambition and daring leadership to keep global temperature
rise below the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement and to put climate action at the center of all
urban decision-making, taking full advantage of ICLEI’s five development pathways: low-
emissions, resilient, circular, nature-based, and people-centered / equitable. The Climate
Neutrality framework directs our work with you as an ICLEI member.
The “ICLEI150” represents a movement of 150 local governments across the ICLEI USA
network that are stepping up to join the Cities Race to Zero to cut global emissions in half by
2030 and to zero by 2050.
The ICLEI150 communities in the Race to Zero participants will:
1. Pledge: at the head-of-organization level to get to zero greenhouse gas emissions as soon
as possible and by 2050 at the latest. Set a 2030 interim target reflecting maximum fair
share effort to reach 50% global CO2 reductions.
2. Plan: the actions necessary to achieve both the 2030 and 2050 targets by 2023.
3. Proceed: with high-impact action to achieve the targets during 2023
4. Publish: report Race to Zero actions by 2023
ICLEI USA will provide ICLEI150 leaders and communities with:
ICLEI150 COMMITMENT FORM

ICLEI World Secretariat.
⚫ Provide opportunities to speak about and share your community’s Race to Zero ambition.
As a leader joining the Cities Race to Zero, I endorse the following principles:
1. We recognize the global climate emergency.
2. We are committed to keeping global heating below the 1.5°Celsius goal of the
Paris Agreement.
3. We are committed to putting inclusive climate action at the center of all urban
decision-making, to create thriving and equitable communities for everyone.
4. We invite our partners – political leaders, CEOs, trade unions, investors, and civil society
– to join us in recognizing the global climate emergency and help us deliver on science-
based action to overcome it.
As an ICLEI150 Leader, I will:
⚫ Commit my staff to work with ICLEI to develop our “member journey” of technical
and implementation aspects of the Race to Zero.
⚫ Spend 15 minutes each month amplifying the Race to Zero movement within their
community, with other elected officials, and at national and international forums.
⚫ Provide a 1- to 2-minute video highlighting specific examples of what they are doing or
planning to do to equitably reduce GHG emissions and why they are excited to be an
ICLEI 150 leader in the Race to Zero. Submit Here within 30 days or email to
sarah.ditton@iclei.org.
⚫ Provide a statement about why the Race to Zero initiative is important to me and my
community (in the box below). Please include a link to a portrait or include an attachment
in your submission email. This will be used on the ICLEI USA website and social media
to highlight your ambition.

I anticipate my community will need ICLEI’s assistance to complete the following steps of the
Race to Zero:
A declaration of a climate emergency and/or a commitment to climate neutrality
A Science-Based Target
Planning and implementing at least one inclusive and equitable climate action
Reporting progress
Unsure. I need ICLEI technical advisors to help create my plan

Headline Statements from the Summary for Policymakers
9 August 2021 (subject to final copy-editing)
A.The Current State of the Climate
A.1 It is unequivocal that human influence has warmed the atmosphere, ocean and land.
Widespread and rapid changes in the atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere and biosphere have
occurred.
A.2 The scale of recent changes across the climate system as a whole and the present state
of many aspects of the climate system are unprecedented over many centuries to many
thousands of years.
A.3 Human-induced climate change is already affecting many weather and climate extremes in
every region across the globe. Evidence of observed changes in extremes such as
heatwaves, heavy precipitation, droughts, and tropical cyclones, and, in particular, their
attribution to human influence, has strengthened since the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5).
A.4 Improved knowledge of climate processes, paleoclimate evidence and the response of the
climate system to increasing radiative forcing gives a best estimate of equilibrium climate
sensitivity of 3°C, with a narrower range compared to AR5.
B.Possible Climate Futures
B.1 Global surface temperature will continue to increase until at least the mid-century under all
emissions scenarios considered. Global warming of 1.5°C and 2°C will be exceeded
during the 21st century unless deep reductions in carbon dioxide (CO2) and other
greenhouse gas emissions occur in the coming decades.
B.2 Many changes in the climate system become larger in direct relation to increasing global
warming. They include increases in the frequency and intensity of hot extremes, marine
heatwaves, and heavy precipitation, agricultural and ecological droughts in some regions,
and proportion of intense tropical cyclones, as well as reductions in Arctic sea ice, snow
cover and permafrost.
B.3 Continued global warming is projected to further intensify the global water cycle, including
its variability, global monsoon precipitation and the severity of wet and dry events.
B.4 Under scenarios with increasing CO2 emissions, the ocean and land carbon sinks are
projected to be less effective at slowing the accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere.
B.5 Many changes due to past and future greenhouse gas emissions are irreversible for
centuries to millennia, especially changes in the ocean, ice sheets and global sea level.

Climate Information for Risk Assessment and Regional Adaptation
C.1 Natural drivers and internal variability will modulate human-caused changes, especially at
regional scales and in the near term, with little effect on centennial global warming. These
modulations are important to consider in planning for the full range of possible changes.
C.2 With further global warming, every region is projected to increasingly experience
concurrent and multiple changes in climatic impact-drivers. Changes in several climatic
impact-drivers would be more widespread at 2°C compared to 1.5°C global warming and
even more widespread and/or pronounced for higher warming levels.
C.3 Low-likelihood outcomes, such as ice sheet collapse, abrupt ocean circulation changes,
some compound extreme events and warming substantially larger than the assessed very
likely range of future warming cannot be ruled out and are part of risk assessment.
D.
Limiting Future Climate Change
D.1 From a physical science perspective, limiting human-induced global warming to a specific
level requires limiting cumulative CO2 emissions, reaching at least net zero CO2
emissions, along with strong reductions in other greenhouse gas emissions. Strong, rapid
and sustained reductions in CH4 emissions would also limit the warming effect resulting
from declining aerosol pollution and would improve air quality.
D.2 Scenarios with low or very low greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (SSP1-1.9 and SSP1-
2.6) lead within years to discernible effects on greenhouse gas and aerosol
concentrations, and air quality, relative to high and very high GHG emissions scenarios
(SSP3-7.0 or SSP5-8.5). Under these contrasting scenarios, discernible differences in
trends of global surface temperature would begin to emerge from natural variability within
around 20 years, and over longer time periods for many other climatic impact-drivers (high
confidence).

WHEREAS, the AR6 Report outlined the dramatic climatic changes aiready underway,
pointed to the rapid acceleration of climate change processes, and warned that the window to limit
global warning to 1.5 degrees Celsius was rapidly closing, concluding that without drastic action,
limiting global warming to two degrees Celsius might be impossible; and
WHEREAS, global warming of 1.5 or 2 degrees Celsius will cause untold damage to
human societies, physical infrastructure, and the plants, animais, and ecosystems with which we
share the planet, as this year' s dramatic floods, droughts, heatwaves, and wildfires with only 1.1
degrees Celsius warming over late -19th century level s have amply demonstrated; and
WHEREAS, humanity must take immediate, drastic action to reduce greenhouse gas
("GHG") emissions to the atmosphere consistent with the findings of the AR6 Report, which
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres described as "Code red for humanity: and
WHEREAS, upon taking office, President Joseph R. Biden, Jr., rejoined the Paris
Agreement on behalf of the United States of America, under which the nations of the world agree
to take action to limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius and to make every effort to limit
warming to 1.5 degrees, and pledged to reach net-zero economy-wide emissions in the United
States by 2050; and
WHEREAS, in April 2021, the Biden Administration announced a revised Nationally
Determined Contribution for the United States under the Paris Agreement of 50 to 52 percent
reduction in greenhouse gas emissions below 2005 levels by 2030; and
WHEREAS, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
("UNFCCC") and many other partners have established the Race to Zero to rally local and regional
governments, companies, and educational institutions, to cut GHG emission in half by 2030 and
to net zero by 2050 or sooner; and
WHEREAS, in the United States, the Race to Zero effort is led by nCEl USA, and the
City of Dania Beach seeks to join the ILCEl USA, which currently has engaged 150 local
governments in making net-zero commitments prior to the UNFCCC Conference of Parties in
Glasgow, Scotland, in December 2021; and
WHEREAS, ICLEI150 provides technical assistance to participating governments in
developing a science-based target for 2030 emissions reductions and community-specific high-
impact actions, along with additional technical assistance, networking opportunities with like-
minded governments, and recognition of their net-zero pledges and actions, at no cost to
participating governments; and
WHEREAS, many ofthe City ofDania Beaeh's local government peers around the United
States and in the state ofFlorida have joined the Race to Zero, including: the counties ofMiami-
Dade, Montgomery (MD), and Travis (TX); the cities of Hallandale Beach, West Palm Beach,
