What it is Summary of Development Next Steps Lessons Learnt Questions & discussion
About the Programme Launched September 2012 Programme of annual actions supported by technical appendix Milestones set for 5 year periods 44 partners pledged support Underpinned by theoretical model Governance through sub-group of City Mayors Partnership
The Journey Long term political support and target from 1990
Targets from 1990 baseline 34% by 2020 (National target from Climate Change Act) 50% by 2025 (Leicester’s own target) 80% by 2050 (National target from Climate Change Act)
The Journey • Long term political support and target from 1990 • EMAS Major Non Conformity • 1st 100 days of Mayoral authority • Vantage Point Modelling opportunity

The A Summary of the Vantage Model for Leicester Areas of Activity Greening the grid Commercial Combined heat and power Domestic Transport
Greening the Grid By 2025 Government plans to invest in renewable and nuclear technologies could deliver 50% of the cut in carbon needed to meet Leicester’s target But this would be a long way off the full potential
Commercial Sector Half of emissions Emissions decreasing
Combined Heat and Power Leicester particularly suited to this measure Modelling predicts 18% of savings could come from CHP or 25MWe A five-fold increase from current planned action
Combined Heat and Power • Link up Prison, University and LCC buildings • On-line 2012 • 12,000 tonnes • Greater potential with Bio-fuelled boilers
Domestic 14% of savings could come from the domestic sector
Domestic This could be manifested as: Nearly all homes with cavity wall and loft insulation 35% with solid wall insulation (11,000 homes) 30% with PV (7,500 homes) 45% with solar thermal (10,500 homes) 2000 with biomass boilers or ground-source heat pumps
Transport 285,000 tonnes/CO2 Emissions Stable 1.25 vehicles per household
Transport Model defined 10% of savings could come from transport measures but lack of detail in model However, robust experience of measures required from Transport Planning
Indirect Measures What the model didn’t include…… supply chains to reduce emissions local & seasonal food & grow their own manage waste in a way that reduces carbon plant trees and manage green space in a way that contributes to carbon storage
Adaptation What the model didn’t include…… supply chains to reduce emissions local & seasonal food & grow their own manage waste in a way that reduces carbon plant trees and manage green space in a way that contributes to carbon storage
Engagement and awareness What the model didn’t include…… awareness and understanding involvement action
The Journey • Long term political support and target from 1990 • EMAS Major Non Conformity • 1st 100 days of Mayoral authority • Vantage Point Modelling opportunity • Refine model in consultation with experts • Research best practice
Research and Refinement Beyond scope 3 emissions Inclusion of adaptation Partner engagement Segment the long term target into interim stages Actions should match the rhetoric Short
Climate Change-Leicester’s programme of action The Journey • Long term political support and target from 1990 • EMAS Major Non Conformity • 1st 100 days of Mayoral authority • Vantage Point Modelling opportunity • Refine model in consultation with experts • Research best practice • Political and partner engagement • Governance arrangements
Climate Change-Leicester’s programme of action Now Deliver the 80 actions set out in this year’s plan Engage more partners to be part of the action Develop the actions to be able to deliver on longer term milestones Plan to be updated annually with 5 year review
Climate Change-Leicester’s programme of action Lessons Learnt Detailed road map v partner engagement v inclusion of indirect emissions Political ownership v technical detail Engagement takes time Resources to follow through after the launch
