Mapping the Big Green Challenge - The Skills & Learning ...

34 Chapter 4 - The Big Green Challenge and UK Climate Change PolicyBefore looking in this detail, Chart 11 below shows the breakdown by top level categories used bythe Committee on Climate Change, based on the 259 proposals which gave detail of their specificcarbon reduction goals. At this level each proposal can only have one goal relating to Waste (butthey might also have a goal relating to, say, residential energy use). Thus it is saying that, forexample, of all the top level goals proposed, 17% related to Waste. Overall it shows a broadly-basedand mainly balanced set of goals within the proposals. The proportion of goals relating to energyuse in non-residential buildings is perhaps unexpected and will be explored further in the discussionof proposal types.The detailed definitions of these categories can be found at the end of the Classification Schema butin summary the main top level categories are as follows:Residential buildings Energy Use: includes all energy management and efficiency measures, lightsand appliances, all forms of renewable heat and micro-generation and other ‘eco-design’ principles.Non-Residential Buildings Energy Use: as above.Transport Technologies: includes electric cars and biofuels as a transport fuel (defined as supply sidemeasures by the Committee on Climate Change).Transport Use: includes eco-driving, modal shift to different transport options, provision such as busand cycle lanes, and public transport provision (demand side measures).Agriculture and Food: includes lifestyle dietary changes to reduce impact including meat and dairybalance and food miles issues, agriculture issues such as waste to energy, and changes in productionmethods of crops and livestock to reduce emissions.Land Use: includes re-forestation and other increases in plant cover.Waste: includes lifestyle measures such as re-use, repair, re-sale, less packaging, and all forms ofwaste management.Chart 11 – Top level carbon reduction goals, 259 proposals.
