Ecological Community Demonstration Project in Addressing Climate Change
There is few related policy on ecological community establishment to address climate change issue in China. Currently, only one official document 'Technical Guideline and Key Matters on Establishment of Green Ecological Residential community' enacted by Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. In Hangzhou city, some competition activities on 'green community' or 'low carbon community' have organized, which focus on environmental protection publicity and outreach. Few projects can provide participatory and practicable activities and methodologies on low carbon to the public. The project will demonstrate a low carbon ecological community to address climate change by practicable activities.
Main problems:
1. Lacking of sustainable and stable endogenous power of community to push forward and maintain communty's environmental protection and ecological construction;
2.Water resources of community haven't been used optimized;
3. Wastes of community haven't been sorted and recycled;
4. Community greening needs to be improved;

Solutions/activities:
1.training volunteers and facilitate to establish community self-organization;
2. reform community landscape pool by ecological means and construct rain harvest system;
3. outreach on waste sorting and promote kitchen waste for compost, exchange article by article, jumble sale and set up dangerous waste collection bin and waste recycling station;
4.Promote roof greening and household gardening and farming activities;
5.Demonstrate solar energy facility and promote community energy conservation reformation.
Anticipated results/outcomes:
1.Established a 50 members volunteer group and facilitate 10 community people to participate in low carbon activities, which will reduce 120 tons of CO2 emissions;
2. a 400 cube meters water pool ecologically restored, which reduce 4800 tons of water per year; the rain harvest system save 9000 tons of water per year;
3. 84 households participated in waste sorting and kitchen waste for compost activities, which reduce 244 tons of GHG emissions per year;
4. Roof greening reduce 16.2 tons of GHG per year;
5. Solar energy facilities reduce 1077 tons of GHG per year.
