7 Months of Carbon management Implementation Plan What’s happened? The Good The Bad • Academic members aren’t generally attending… • We haven’t really created a carbon-related “background noise” yet… • No one sees any initiatives as driven by us… • People are not working together on carbon-related stuff at a cross-campus level yet… • People have heard of us! • The Estates Office supports us! • It’s getting easier to work with departments and their energy champs! • We’ve got a communications subgroup! • We’re ready for an IT subgroup!
Why aren’t more people bothered? Carbon is a really big deal after all… What difference could I make anyway? I’m just one guy… Wind turbines? Not in my back yard! Nobody else does it. Why should I bother? It’s not in my annual review performance targets…
There’s loads of great stuff going on all over campus… …BUT… …people are not working together on it.
Like what? • MBA in Global Energy • Professor Sentence teaching Sustainability • Low Carbon Society WBS • Metering and building controls in IIPSI • Empowerment programme with UCL • PC power management project WMG • Course on sustainability • Students working on feasibility studies Engineering
Like what? • Psychology behaviour change project • Edward Page’s carbon-related research Social Sciences • Request for green curriculum • Wind turbine project Students • Sciences City • Enterprises • Partnerships with British Gas, our Suppliers and others • Biodiversity group and allotments • Knowledge in the Community European programme And loads of other stuff
So the question is… …HOW? How do we bring it all together?
