Face up to the environmental challenge now

1. Face up to the environmental challenge now 2011 Support Northumbria Conference

2. Our environment can be described as the conditions that surround us; those conditions can be adversely affected by our activities, such as air pollution. When it comes to protecting the environment the University has a legal as well as a moral obligation to ensure we do just that. Face up to the environmental challenge now

3. Environmental Legislation • Environmental Protection Act 1990 • Environmental Protection (Duty of Care) Regulations 1991 • Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005, amended 2009 • Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2006 • European Landfill Directive • Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006. • And to a lesser degree but just as important in terms of our operations; • Climate Change Act 2008 Face up to the environmental challenge now

4. But do we really need to act now, and can we afford to in these challenging times? Face up to the environmental challenge now

5. The Browne Report talks of a sustainable future for higher education but what about the sustainable future for the environment, after all our operations have an impact on the environment? Face up to the environmental challenge now

6. Face up to the environmental challenge now

7. The earth is getting hotter, so what? • It accelerates climate change, so what? • Climate change is a global concern, in the UK look at what it can affect: • Loss of land to the sea • Flooding • Intense rainfall and extremes of weather • Drought • Water shortages • Major change to native ecology • Reduced food production • Higher insurances Face up to the environmental challenge now

8. That’s years away surely? • NORTH – Stanhope and Haydon Bridge winter 2005 highest ever river levels • NORTH – Carlisle 2005 sever winter flooding • NORTH – Rail closed between Harrogate and Leeds due to flash flooding • SOUTH – River Stour 2003 record low river levels • SOUTH – Highest ever recorded temperature in the UK 37.1 c • Thames Barrier raised 11 times in 2001, it is 20 years old but the last 5 years accounts for half of the times raised Face up to the environmental challenge now

9. In the developing world climate change is more harsh and severe 50% of Africans rely on rain-fed agriculture 100 million will be affected by climate change Face up to the environmental challenge now

10. Climate Change is a package with some good things like warmer drier summers in some areas but there will be extreme weather • Fossil-fuelled energy use, gas, electricity driving cars is speeding up climate change and we need to cut carbon dioxide emissions now to ensure climate ‘chaos’ is not realised • How? Face up to the environmental challenge now

11. We need to meet the needs of the University and the economic reality of caring for the environment • One thing is agreed though – we need to act now to ensure the quality of life climate change threatens and that is globally is challenged Face up to the environmental challenge now

12. Significant cuts in carbon dioxide gas must mean significant spending? • Yes – they do but the price of not acting is too great, remember the environment description at the first slide, our activities affect it • No – there are simple steps we can take to cut emissions • Sustainability - remember what that is actually is- this generations’ requirements met without depleting resources for future generations Face up to the environmental challenge now

13. 1998 – £500 million floods • 2000 - £1 billion floods • 2003 - £390 million drought – subsidence • 2004 - £300 million in the first nine months floods Face up to the environmental challenge now

14. How are we doing in terms of our emissions? • 1990 - 6,469 tonnes • 2005 – 16,804 tonnes • 2010 – 20,011 tonnes • 2012 – 22,000 tonnes Face up to the environmental challenge now

15. Face up to the environmental challenge now

16. Face up to the environmental challenge now

17. In advance of the Government’s next Spending Review we will remodel the (CIF) process with a greater focus on carbon’ HEFCE – Carbon Reduction and Strategy for Higher Education • A sector-level target in line with the Climate Change Act of 34% reduction by 2020 and 80% reduction by 2050 against a 1990 baseline. Face up to the environmental challenge now

18. As we have more demand for energy we have more opportunities to ‘waste’ energy but can prevent that quite easily • As we have more demand for energy we have more opportunity to make technology more efficient, and now we have senior approval and financial backing to make a 32.5% cut of our 2005 emissions’ total • We have taken on board HEFCE requirements and have a New Carbon Management Plan to see us through to 2020 Face up to the environmental challenge now

23. Recognised training and awareness for all staff • Mirror health and safety management model HSG 65 • We believe a reduction of 1,200 tonnes of carbon emissions can be reduced by staff and student ‘buy in’ to local carbon management Face up to the environmental challenge now

25. So here’s the good news and financial commitment we need • £7.5 million available to 2020 • We have started with voltage optimisation £500,000 Then phase 1 • General Building Solutions across all buildings Face up to the environmental challenge now

26. Voltage optimisation units are being fitted in all main electrical rooms, most electrical equipment used in the UK is manufactured to European standards, designed for 220V. By forcing appliances to operate at a higher voltage in the UK leads to significantly higher energy consumption. • 15% reduction in Glenamara Halls Face up to the environmental challenge now

29. And then we look at scope 3 emissions and think a bit more ‘radically’ because if we include scope 3 emissions we could possibly double the emissions • No more bottled water? • No more car parking? • Procure recycled or second hand goods? • No more solvents? • Reduce heating levels? • Air miles limit? • Buy seasonal? • Campus congestion charge? Face up to the environmental challenge now

30. Can we afford to do nothing and carry on as business as usual – hopefully you can see we can not • Are we doing enough? • We are doing all we can and whilst it hard to predict the exact shape of the University at 2020 the measures we will have put in cover almost everything technically available to us Face up to the environmental challenge now

31. ……and beyond 2020 , the Climate Change Act talks of 80% reduction by 2050. • Carbon free living? • Now it is about carbon managing and every one of us connected with the University can play a part, and that goes for home life too Face up to the environmental challenge now

32. Reduce – energy, waste and water • Re-use – energy, waste and water • Recycle – energy, waste and water • Things change – they need to Face up to the environmental challenge now
