WEBINAR: THE ROAD TO NET ZERO CARBON
ATMOSPHERE
SOME SUNSHINE → HEAT
SOME HEAT: REFLECTED
BACK INTO SPACE
GREENHOUSE GASES:
TRAP HEAT IN THE
ATMOSPHERE
MORE GREENHOUSE GASES
= MORE HEAT
Global heating has already reached
+1°C above pre-industrial levels.
Paris Agreement: international
agreement to limit warming to ‘well
below’ 2ºC , aiming for 1.5ºC.
1°C (or 1.5ºC or 2ºC) is not the same
everywhere across the world:
temperatures increase at different
speeds in different places.
Every bit of warming matters: losses
increase significantly from 1.5ºC to 2ºC
More than half of all CO2 emissions
released in last 30 years.
WHERE ARE WE NOW?
We are a long way from limiting warming to
1.5 °C or 2 °C
We are currently on a pathway to +3°C – and
at current rates of warming will get to 1.5 °C
well within the next 3 decades.
We have until 2050 (at the latest) to reach net
zero carbon emissions globally.
Getting us back on track is only possible if we
start reducing now, and reduce by half by
2030.
The current 10 years are crucial.
WHERE ARE WE GOING?
WHAT DO WE MEAN BY ‘NET ZERO’?
Reduce human-caused emissions and move to a low-carbon
economy…
…and ‘balance out’ remaining human-caused emissions by
removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.
The sooner and deeper you cut,
the less CO2 removal is needed.
Steep cuts to near zero =
little need for CO2 removal Less steep cuts =
more CO2 removal
Higher ‘residual’ emissions =
yet more CO2 removal
Delayed cuts =
most CO2 removal
Graph: IPCC
CO2 accumulates in the
atmosphere over time.
Every delay means:
> deeper and faster cuts will
be needed (because we will
have used up more of our
remaining ‘carbon budget’)
> we depend more on
contested ‘negative
emissions’ (capturing carbon
through nature and
technology)
> higher risks of overshoot
and setting off tipping points
> adaptation is more difficult
Graph: Carbon Brief
WHY THE URGENCY?
UN Paris Agreement:
limit global warming to ‘well below’ 2ºC,
aiming for 1.5ºC
UK Climate Change Act: net zero GHGs by 2050“Tougher targets do not themselves reduce emissions.
New plans must be drawn up to deliver them.” – Committee on
Climate Change
452 UK borough, district and county councils
have declared a climate emergency
Just transition and Green New Deal
TARGETS AND POLICY
Source: Committee on Climate Change: UK progress (2018)
HOW IS THE UK DOING?
AND….
“Between 1990 and 2016 emissions within
the UK’s borders reduced by 41% but the
consumption-based footprint only dropped
15%, mainly due to goods and services
coming from abroad.”
Nearly half of the UK’s carbon footprint
comes from emissions imported through
goods and services that aren’t included in UK
national figures, including aviation.

DOES YOUR ORGANISATION
HAVE A NET ZERO TARGET?
SETTING A NET ZERO TARGET:
• Measure your emissions
• Set your target year
• Set your scope (1,2,3) / what’s included
• Set way of monitoring & reporting
• Set your roadmap - reduce what you can, play to your strengths
• Offset the rest?
WHAT DOES A MEANINGFUL NET ZERO COMMITMENT
LOOK LIKE?
(1) Does it have a roadmap or pathway to getting there?
Does it set a separate target for emissions reduction vs negative emissions / offsets?
Does it define: baseline, scope, time-bound targets, GHG vs CO2 only
(2) Does it have senior level buy-in?
(3) Does it have an appropriate budget / financing / resources behind it ?
(4) Does it consider the needs of people alongside emissions reductions, and does it have ways to take
people along for the changes we need to and want to make?
GREENHOUSE GAS REPORTING SCOPES
SCOPE 1: emissions from ‘owned or operated assets’ e.g. gas boilers, company-owned vehicles, (generators)
SCOPE 2: emissions from energy you buy (that is generated elsewhere)
SCOPE 3: emissions from everything else – the products you buy, suppliers, contractors, audiences,
artists, merchandise, food & drink, waste processing, investments, business travel, etc.
CONTROL
INFLUENCE
CAN’T CONTROL
(CONCERN)
What kind of electricity you buy
Investment into LED lighting
Energy management
How audiences travel e.g. bundled coach
tickets, car parking charges
What your suppliers invest in – and who you
buy from
Investment into public transport
infrastructure
> Use data to inform your actions: where can you make the biggest difference
and what should you focus on?
> Ask yourself what feels meaningful.
> Ask yourself where you can make a difference and reduce emissions now.
> Think beyond offsetting.
> Look to existing targets and roadmaps e.g. local authority
‘ZERO CARBON CULTURE’ MEANS….
• less energy and zero carbon energy sources for
cultural buildings and events
• a circular creative economy replacing the “take,
make, dispose” model with one which designs out
waste and maximises resource value
• sustainable and zero carbon travel and transport
• less meat and dairy
• protecting and enhancing nature and biodiversity
and adopting nature-based solutions
• divesting from fossil fuels – banking, investment
• a new creative ecology – green and sustainable
products, services, models, skills etc.
• collaboration and partnerships to find better
environmental solutions
• engaging audiences and visitors and inspiring
action on climate and environment

A pathway to zero carbon cultural buildings:
Including…
TARGET: 50% reduction in scope 1 and 2
greenhouse gas emissions by 2030
• Owned and operated venues and live events measure their
greenhouse gas emissions (2019 baseline)
• Aim for all of owned and operated venues and offices and
live events to be powered by 100% renewable energy
• Commitment to energy efficiency standards
• Commitment to transparently track, measure, and report on
progress
• Additional commitments to working with partners, suppliers,
audiences and specific actions in relation to reducing Scope
3 impacts
TARGET: ‘climate neutral’ by 2030, science-based targets initiative
• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions generated at its locations, by its employees’ travel, and the manufacture
of its own products by 50% (compared to a 2018 baseline)
• Switching to 100% green electricity
• Installing more solar power
• Improving energy efficiency
• ‘Alternative mobility concepts’
• Remaining emissions to be offset through in-house climate projects and carbon credits
• Support business customers in reducing product-related emissions
TARGET: ‘carbon neutral’ by 2030
Full delivery plan for carbon neutrality to be
published by autumn 2020
Grade-II listed building, already has solar
power, natural ventilation, some movement-
sensitive lighting
Current redevelopment = less power, use
mainly renewable energy sources, zero
waste to landfill
Offset emissions that cannot be avoided
• Commissioned feasibility for on-site renewable energy and heat pumps: not feasible, so focus
on reduction targets instead.
• Procure 100% renewable electricity from Good Energy and carbon-neutral gas from Ecotricity
• Energy efficiency target benchmarks for energy use reduction
• Reduce meat on menu from 47% to 25%, favouring least carbon-intensive meats and fish
• Commissioned carbon costing of menu items, which will be shared publicly alongside price
and audience communications on food sustainability
• Zero waste to landfill
• No flights within mainland UK
• Decision-matrix for international travel for staff and artists to take into account price, time,
carbon, and time spent at destination
• Electric taxis
• Slower production design & build timelines for circularity
• Progress to be evaluated in Dec 2020 with remaining emissions to be offset
• Public programme – Open Court: Climate Emergency originally planned for March 2020
TARGET: ‘greenhouse gas neutral’ by 2040
Switching to green electricity tariff within the year;
investigating greener gas supply options
“Nature and Love” project to redisplay natural history
and living collections around ecological & climate
themes
‘Environmental Champions Club’ to inspire visitors to
make their own changes
New role: climate and ecological action coordinator
New planting schemes for biodiversity in the gardens
Which Magazines latest article reviewing green tariffs. Good Energy features very strongly and in fact generates and buys directly way more that what we need to ensure we have supply and in fact we are contributing to growing renewables supply… we generate and buy directly over 122%
