Low Carbon Drivers
UK/EU Targets and Directives:
• CO2 emissions 26% by 2020
• All greenhouse gases (GHG) 80% by 2050
• Renewables share of UK energy 15% by 2020
• Landfill EU directive - 35% of 1995 levels by 2020
Low Carbon Market Drivers:
• Local and global market ‘demands’
• Future energy cost ; security of energy supply
• Pump priming incentives - FiTs, RHIs, Green Deal5

Raising Awareness
“One of the key actions required is to inform, educate and persuade individuals about what they can do to respond to climate change. Fostering a shared understanding of the nature of climate change, and its consequences, is critical in shaping behaviour, as well as in underpinning both national and international action.”
Stern Review into the Economics of Climate Change (2006)

understand the need for change to a more sustainable society and know what it takes to
get there.”Forum for the Future - Feb 2011

Leadership
“Low levels of awareness and leadership are leading to a short-termist approach from
policy and decision-makers within government, the public sector, the skills
provision sector and businesses.”Skills for a low carbon resource efficient economy - Defra

Management
“Basic concepts are not understood by people at all levels in the UK workforce, including managers in very senior positions. If the transition (to a low carbon economy) is to be accomplished efficiently, organisations need to ensure that their staff appreciate the reasons for change and are sufficiently knowledgeable to take an active part in the process.”

Management
• Developing climate change and carbon policy, strategy, research and action plans
• Promoting low carbon strategy across the organisation - concepts, ideas and delivery
• Implementing carbon reduction activities e.g. cutting CO2 emissions; reducing waste; recycling water; adopting low carbon transport; improving energy efficiencies; installing low carbon technologies …

Low Carbon Change Agents
“If organisations are to make strategic, investment or operational decisions to improve resource efficiency, reduce costs, and lower carbon footprints, they will require knowledgeable, trained individuals or teams within their organisations to facilitate change.”

Low Carbon Change Agents
“Existing skills will need to be enhanced to meet environmental challenges and generic resource efficiency skills must be developed across the economy. Germany has shown how an active organisational skills policy can help stimulate widespread economic growth and job creation.” Mind The Gap: Skills for the Transition to a Low Carbon Economy – Aldersgate Group – 2009

Low Carbon Britain - Scenario 1
Community Action - where a “well-being” economy values meaningful work and low-carbon impact
lifestyles, with a smaller, more localised state.

Low Carbon Britain - Scenario 2
Technology and Choice - where low-carbon industries compete for
business, with councils which invested early in reducing carbon emissions reaping rewards.
47
![Page 48: Low Carbon Strategies Training for Change Mike Woollacott Greenwatt Technology RETS Conference Stafford University February 23 rd 2011.](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013100/551538cd55034685568b4b41/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Low Carbon Britain - Scenario 3
Emergency State Control - where the state replaces the market as the
driver of change with economies forcibly reorientated in favour of carbon reduction.
48

Low Carbon Britain - Scenario 4
Business Revolution - where the public sector is a “low-carbon
facilitator” and ‘carbon efficiency’ has replaced cost efficiency.
