  1. Community Carbon Reduction Project (CRed) Low Carbon Innovation Centre Zuckerman Institute for Connective Environmental Research School of Environmental Sciences

  2. CRedibility • School of Environmental Sciences 5** • Climatic Research Unit • Centre for Environmental Risk • Centre for Social and Economic Research on the Global Environment • Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research

  3. Future Global Warming Rates

  4. Why CRed? • Energy White Paper – aspiration for 60% cut in CO2 emissions by 2050 • Will require unprecedented partnership activity in local communities to ensure on track by 2020s

  5. Why CRed? Opportunity • Leading the way to the new lower-carbon economy • Attracting people with new ways of thinking and new ways of doing things • Norwich/Norfolk, with partners in the East of England, showing the world – “exemplar for the world”

  6. Ambition To engage, enthuse and empower a large, diverse community to debate, plan and execute a programme to reduce carbon emissions by up to 60% by 2025

  7. The Challenges • Awareness, perceptions, attitudes, acceptances • Awareness-raising, demonstration & research project • Scientific/technological

  10. Zuckerman Institute for Connective Environmental Research(ZICER) Elizabeth Fry performance has improved over years. ZICER will be better and less than 70% of emissions of mid 90’s best practice building Photovoltaic cells will generate ~ 30 kW and save 20 tonnes CO2 per annum.

  11. The CRed Community • Participatory/inclusive • Spark imaginations • Modes of participation (targets/methods) • Matrix of modes of participation = representative of real-world complexity • Centred on Norwich/Norfolk, but links across the region, country, the world…. • Partnerships

  12. The right language? 5 hot air balloons full of CO2 per person per year

  13. CRed Will Develop a Community in Our Region CRed can show how this community can meet the challenge facing us

  16. Emphasised turbines – from Broad

  17. Reduction in CO2 emissions (yr-1) Each 1.5MW turbine: 1800 tonnes (1000 balloons) – avge. mix of generation 3900 tonnes (2167 balloons) – coal generation Each turbine will provide electricity for 1000 homes (e.g. whole of Cringleford).

  18. CRed can: Identify obstacles to the adoption of low carbon practices Help overcome them Integrate myriad activities Through partnerships, provide joined-up thinking Promote demonstration and awareness-raising projects Stimulate/encourage research (scientific, economic, policy) Influence decision-making and policy
