NI 186 definitionNI 186 definition
• Percentage reduction of the per capita CO2 emissions in the Local Authority Area:
• The indicator being assessed will comprise of an annual amount of end user CO2 emissions
• across an agreed set of sectors (housing, road transport and business)
• measured as a percentage reduction (or increase) of the per capita CO2 emission from the 2005 baseline year.

Deeper DefinitionDeeper Definition
• Action by local authorities is likely to be critical to the achievement of Government’s climate change objectives.
• Local authorities are uniquely placed to provide vision and leadership to local communities by raising awareness and to influence behaviours.
• through their powers and responsibilities (housing, planning, local transport and powers to promote well-being)
• by working with their Local Strategic Partnership they can have significant influence over emissions
How the target is broken downHow the target is broken down
• Split into three sectors– National Interventions
• Providing a cleaner/ greener infrastructure
– National with Local Interventions• Providing a better public transport infrastructure
– Local Interventions• Home energy efficiency• Reducing school runs• Improving water usage• Travel plans• Local food purchasing• Micro renewable energy solutions• Shall I go on?

Technical GuidanceTechnical Guidance
• 14 page document provided by BERR• Key Phrases used
– Setting and monitoring the achievement of comparable targets is an important driver
– a consistent evidence base is required– enable local authorities and other relevant organisations to
prioritise and act effectively– energy meter readings and fuel sales across the UK are
collected and AEA Energy & Environment converts this data into carbon emissions for each LA
– This will reduce the current reporting burden on LAs,
allowing them to focus their efforts on actions to reduce CO2 emissions
So these targetsSo these targets
• What do they mean to us• Real figures coming up, from a DC near you• Don’t forget the clock is ticking• LAA target for three years
– Year 1 – 3.67% from baseline figure (9.6 tonnes)– Year 2 – 7.33% from baseline figure (9.6 tonnes)– Year 3 – 11.0% from baseline figure (9.6 tonnes)
• Take Year 1 only

Actual targetsActual targets
• Per Capita baseline - 9.6 tonnes• Target local savings- 2.02%• Per Capita savings - 0.195 tonnes• Population - 130,130• Total savings required - 25,235 tonnes
• Equates to:-• 31,902 top up loft insulations, or• 16,386 cavity wall insulations, or• 162,805 low energy lamps installed• And that is just Year 1, this then needs to be repeated in each
of the next two years
Example for one tonne reductionExample for one tonne reduction
• In our example over three years this equates to a one tonne per person reduction
• This can be shown graphically by the spreadsheets I have developed
• Please bear with me and take a look at one way of achieving this
• There are many ways to do this• This is why you need a strategic approach
One tonne reduction
Cambridgeshire Per CapitaCambridgeshire Per Capita
Local Authority 2005 Per Capita baseline
Cambridge City 6.47 tonnes
East Cambridgeshire 11.33 tonnes
Fenland 11.60 tonnes
Huntingdonshire 11.67 tonnes
South Cambridgeshire 13.60 tonnes
My question is one tonne in Cambridge City, will that be as achievable in the other areas?
Energy Measures reportEnergy Measures report
• This is essential reading, can be found at http://www.berr.gov.uk/files/file41260.pdf
• Action by local authorities is critical to the achievements of the Government’s climate change and energy objectives
• Local authorities are uniquely placed to – act on climate change mitigation – Alleviate fuel poverty
• They can take action on their own estates and housing stock
• Also play a key role in motivating the wider community to take action
Energy Measures Report headlinesEnergy Measures Report headlines
• Ideas for Action• A good practice strategic approach• Community Leadership• Own estate and operations• Planning• Transport• Schools and Education• Energy Advice• Climate Change Adaptation
ReportingReporting
• Annually the Local Strategic Partnership is going to provide a report on what has been carried out to inform the LAA
• First report generally thought to be the end of September 2009 for the first year
• This will be fed back into the CAA process • the Audit Commission will need to see
individual LA’s actions during the inspection process
Final thoughtsFinal thoughts
• Now you can see what is necessary• Real action plans • Real works carried out• Measured by someone else (different role for LA’s)• Using nationally available data and an established
methodology as a basis for the estimates ensures consistency between the figures reported
• BERR/ DECC encourages local authorities to seek out local data.
• This is likely to improve their understanding of the local situation, and could ultimately help to improve the quality of the published estimates.
• How are you planning to do yours?
