zerocarbonbritain2030 is a fully integrated vision of how Britain can respond to the challenges of climate change, resource depletion and global inequity.
The initiative provides political, economic and technological solutions to the urgent challenges raised by climate science. It explores the synergies between sectors to create the first fully integrated solution to climate change.
zerocarbonbritain2030 is a hugely collaborative project coordinated by the Centre for Alternative Technology. The Centre for Alternative Technology is Europe's leading eco-centre, based near Machynlleth, Wales. It receives over 70,000 visitors a year and runs environmental courses ranging from weekend solar PV installation to academic courses from its Graduate School for the Environment.
The report is divided into five sections: Context presents the evidence on which the report is based: the science that lies behind our need to change our path, how much needs to be done, and how quickly. PowerDown examines how we can reduce heat and electricity demand largely through new technology, efficient design and behaviour change. It looks in depth at two key sectors: the built environment, and transport. Land Use and Agriculture identifies the emissions originating from land use and how these can be reduced. It also examines how we can use the land to provide resources to help the other sectors to decarbonise and sequester our residual emissions. PowerUp highlights the potential for renewables in the UK and demonstrates how energy demand can be met through the use of renewable technology by 2030. Framework discusses the international and national legislation and incentives that can support changes in energy generation and use, and examines the job creation that will come with it. The report demonstrates that Britain has the potential to become a global leader in sustainable technology and policy.
