How are we addressing this ?
Corporately – we have
adopted and published
the Council’s Environment
Policy 2009/2013 In Partnership – we have
adopted and published
the City’s Climate Change
Action Plan 2009/2011 Citywide Climate Change
Commission – expertise.

But why tackle this now ?
Financial – lower costs/expenditure
Legal – meeting liabilities
Audit – CAA
Reputations – leadership role
Environmental Management – win/win senario
Partnership working – we can not do this alone

Translated in to an initial carbon footprint in 2008 of ….
121,737 tCO2
Even that was then updated by researching….
Petrol and Diesel Water (m3)

So is that it ?.....Unfortunately not !How does data help to plan ahead ?

Disregard Include
Our carbon footprint in
2008/09 was 29,550 tCO2.
Cost of £354,600 in allowances.
Carbon Reduction Commitment requirements….

In Summary…..
Be prepared….know what you need and when.
Aim for more than you need – it is easier to extract the details.
Understand the conversions – when does tCO2 = £s
Be careful with verification – use a trusted source.
Seek help – The Carbon Trust for example.
Be open and honest – if you don’t know or can’t find out,
don’t try and hide it !
Use the networks available to help you.
