2 Carbon Management Plan

3 Presentation Overview A new agenda for Salford City Council/ strategic partners (responding to climate change – green thinking - sustainability) A new language and new stakeholders Lessons learned What are you doing?

4 New Language – New Concepts Carbon tonnes/ carbon footprint Operational carbon/ embodied carbon Decarbonisation/ carbon stairway/ zero carbon Carbon reduction commitment/ carbon literacy Carbon credits/ emissions trading Sustainability/ green infrastructure/ biodiversity Micro-generation/ biomass/ smart energy Mitigation/ adaptation/ capitalisation

5 Tonnes of Carbon Carbon tonne = 1000 kilos of carbon dioxide Equal to 100,000 balloons or enough to fill 6 double- decker buses Average annual production of CO2 for each Salford resident = 6.4 (2006) SCC operations generate 34,000 tonnes of CO2 annually (2007) Collectively Salford residents produce 1,444,000 tonnes of CO2 annually (2006)

6 Carbon management planning Action by local authorities will be critical to the achievement of the Governments climate change objectives, such as the long term goal to reduce CO2 emissions by 80% by 2050 in the draft climate change bill. This Carbon Management Plan (CMP) outlines Salford City Councils commitment to a 40% reduction in CO2 over the next 5 years.

7 Context and drivers for carbon management Community leadership Display energy certificates Carbon reduction commitment NI185 – percentage CO2 reduction from local authority operations NI186 – per capita CO2 emissions in the local authority area Local Area Agreement Financial Control
