PEOPLE, PLANET, PROFITProsperity through Sustainability
The Broader Context of Sustainability
Natural Capital Balance Sheet, Consumption & RenewalHow do we measure it?
Ecological Footprint of Humanity per capita

Ecological Footprint of China & USA

Climate Change - Do you believe?
Time lag between cause and effect
Probability of negative outcome
A male who is a smoker at age 35 is 25x more likely to contract cancer in later life
It is statistically arguable that Climate Change resulting from Human activity is more likely than smoking causing cancer
Climate Change and the Marina Industry
1.Sea level rise
2.Increase in frequency of weather events
1.Cost of energy
2.Cost of materials with high embodied energy of poor recyclability
CLIMATE EFFECTS
REGULATORY EFFECTS
Sea Level Rise
Sea surface temperature
Global Temperature and Extreme Weather Events
Atmospheric CO2

Emissions reduction targets
Impacts for the Marina Industry• Adapt to Sea level rise and changing weather patterns over
next 20 years - beyond that who knows?
• Climate is on a warming path - dramatic changes required to prevent acceleration in the rate of change.
• Governments slow to react and will apply blunt regulation to achieve international targets that are geo-politically prejudiced
• Marina and Boating Industries are vulnerable as we are energy intensive & behind other industries like automotive and property
Solution: Industry Initiative and self regulation
Cities must accommodate an additional billion people

The Sustainability GAP
BMW i
50% smaller life cycle carbon footprint
LCA the evidence base for sustainability claims
Slide | 6
ANZ Docklands - embedded services50% smaller operational carbon footprint
Dutch Building Code mandatory LCA
Embodied impact of capital investments (buildings, hardstands, infrastructure etc) Operational impacts of tenants,
maintenance, collateral etc.
Impact by aspect & potential no cost gain
• Buildings - 20-30%
• Energy - 30%
• RM & I - 10-15%
• Consumption 5-10%
Embodied Carbon - Buildings & Tenants
Aluminium framed with timber deck [4.5 T/m]
Concrete with steeland timber [~0.6 T/m]
Concrete and EPSand timber [~ 0.5 T/m]
Aluminium framed with timber deck RECYCLED[~1.1 T/m]
Concrete with steeland timber RECYCLED[~0.3 T/m]

Operating Carbon Footprint
1. Energy efficiency measures (LED / timers / insulation).2. Passive design of buildings.3. Behaviour change (pay per use).4. Alternative / embedded technology (wind / solar / PV / electric).5. Integrating consumption systems / recycling.
Marine Industry Response
• Understand - full LCA of marina impact
• Develop a voluntary benchmark and rating scheme
• Wait to be regulated
Conclusions
1. Climate change concerns not going away.2. Physical implications ca be adapted to in the short term.3. The carbon footprint of marinas will be regulated.4. Early action required to guide industry self regulation 5. Learn from lessons from car and building sector.
