WEBINAR: THE ROAD TO NET ZERO CARBON

ATMOSPHERE

SOME SUNSHINE → HEAT

SOME HEAT: REFLECTED

BACK INTO SPACE

GREENHOUSE GASES:

TRAP HEAT IN THE

ATMOSPHERE

MORE GREENHOUSE GASES

= MORE HEAT

Global heating has already reached

+1°C above pre-industrial levels.

Paris Agreement: international

agreement to limit warming to ‘well

below’ 2ºC , aiming for 1.5ºC.

1°C (or 1.5ºC or 2ºC) is not the same

everywhere across the world:

temperatures increase at different

speeds in different places.

Every bit of warming matters: losses

increase significantly from 1.5ºC to 2ºC

More than half of all CO2 emissions

released in last 30 years.

WHERE ARE WE NOW?

We are a long way from limiting warming to

1.5 °C or 2 °C

We are currently on a pathway to +3°C – and

at current rates of warming will get to 1.5 °C

well within the next 3 decades.

We have until 2050 (at the latest) to reach net

zero carbon emissions globally.

Getting us back on track is only possible if we

start reducing now, and reduce by half by

2030.

The current 10 years are crucial.

WHERE ARE WE GOING?

WHAT DO WE MEAN BY ‘NET ZERO’?

Reduce human-caused emissions and move to a low-carbon

economy…

…and ‘balance out’ remaining human-caused emissions by

removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.

The sooner and deeper you cut,

the less CO2 removal is needed.

Steep cuts to near zero =

little need for CO2 removal Less steep cuts =

more CO2 removal

Higher ‘residual’ emissions =

yet more CO2 removal

Delayed cuts =

most CO2 removal

Graph: IPCC

CO2 accumulates in the

atmosphere over time.

Every delay means:

> deeper and faster cuts will

be needed (because we will

have used up more of our

remaining ‘carbon budget’)

> we depend more on

contested ‘negative

emissions’ (capturing carbon

through nature and

technology)

> higher risks of overshoot

and setting off tipping points

> adaptation is more difficult

Graph: Carbon Brief

WHY THE URGENCY?

UN Paris Agreement:

limit global warming to ‘well below’ 2ºC,

aiming for 1.5ºC

UK Climate Change Act: net zero GHGs by 2050“Tougher targets do not themselves reduce emissions.

New plans must be drawn up to deliver them.” – Committee on

Climate Change

452 UK borough, district and county councils

have declared a climate emergency

Just transition and Green New Deal

TARGETS AND POLICY

Source: Committee on Climate Change: UK progress (2018)

HOW IS THE UK DOING?

AND….

“Between 1990 and 2016 emissions within

the UK’s borders reduced by 41% but the

consumption-based footprint only dropped

15%, mainly due to goods and services

coming from abroad.”

Nearly half of the UK’s carbon footprint

comes from emissions imported through

goods and services that aren’t included in UK

national figures, including aviation.

- WWF / University of Leeds

DOES YOUR ORGANISATION

HAVE A NET ZERO TARGET?

SETTING A NET ZERO TARGET:

• Measure your emissions

• Set your target year

• Set your scope (1,2,3) / what’s included

• Set way of monitoring & reporting

• Set your roadmap - reduce what you can, play to your strengths

• Offset the rest?

WHAT DOES A MEANINGFUL NET ZERO COMMITMENT

LOOK LIKE?

(1) Does it have a roadmap or pathway to getting there?

Does it set a separate target for emissions reduction vs negative emissions / offsets?

Does it define: baseline, scope, time-bound targets, GHG vs CO2 only

(2) Does it have senior level buy-in?

(3) Does it have an appropriate budget / financing / resources behind it ?

(4) Does it consider the needs of people alongside emissions reductions, and does it have ways to take

people along for the changes we need to and want to make?

GREENHOUSE GAS REPORTING SCOPES

SCOPE 1: emissions from ‘owned or operated assets’ e.g. gas boilers, company-owned vehicles, (generators)

SCOPE 2: emissions from energy you buy (that is generated elsewhere)

SCOPE 3: emissions from everything else – the products you buy, suppliers, contractors, audiences,

artists, merchandise, food & drink, waste processing, investments, business travel, etc.

CONTROL

INFLUENCE

CAN’T CONTROL

(CONCERN)

What kind of electricity you buy

Investment into LED lighting

Energy management

How audiences travel e.g. bundled coach

tickets, car parking charges

What your suppliers invest in – and who you

buy from

Investment into public transport

infrastructure

> Use data to inform your actions: where can you make the biggest difference

and what should you focus on?

> Ask yourself what feels meaningful.

> Ask yourself where you can make a difference and reduce emissions now.

> Think beyond offsetting.

> Look to existing targets and roadmaps e.g. local authority

‘ZERO CARBON CULTURE’ MEANS….

• less energy and zero carbon energy sources for

cultural buildings and events

• a circular creative economy replacing the “take,

make, dispose” model with one which designs out

waste and maximises resource value

• sustainable and zero carbon travel and transport

• less meat and dairy

• protecting and enhancing nature and biodiversity

and adopting nature-based solutions

• divesting from fossil fuels – banking, investment

• a new creative ecology – green and sustainable

products, services, models, skills etc.

• collaboration and partnerships to find better

environmental solutions

• engaging audiences and visitors and inspiring

action on climate and environment

Including…

TARGET: 50% reduction in scope 1 and 2

greenhouse gas emissions by 2030

• Owned and operated venues and live events measure their

greenhouse gas emissions (2019 baseline)

• Aim for all of owned and operated venues and offices and

live events to be powered by 100% renewable energy

• Commitment to energy efficiency standards

• Commitment to transparently track, measure, and report on

progress

• Additional commitments to working with partners, suppliers,

audiences and specific actions in relation to reducing Scope

3 impacts

TARGET: ‘climate neutral’ by 2030, science-based targets initiative

• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions generated at its locations, by its employees’ travel, and the manufacture

of its own products by 50% (compared to a 2018 baseline)

• Switching to 100% green electricity

• Installing more solar power

• Improving energy efficiency

• ‘Alternative mobility concepts’

• Remaining emissions to be offset through in-house climate projects and carbon credits

• Support business customers in reducing product-related emissions

TARGET: ‘carbon neutral’ by 2030

Full delivery plan for carbon neutrality to be

published by autumn 2020

Grade-II listed building, already has solar

power, natural ventilation, some movement-

sensitive lighting

Current redevelopment = less power, use

mainly renewable energy sources, zero

waste to landfill

Offset emissions that cannot be avoided

• Commissioned feasibility for on-site renewable energy and heat pumps: not feasible, so focus

on reduction targets instead.

• Procure 100% renewable electricity from Good Energy and carbon-neutral gas from Ecotricity

• Energy efficiency target benchmarks for energy use reduction

• Reduce meat on menu from 47% to 25%, favouring least carbon-intensive meats and fish

• Commissioned carbon costing of menu items, which will be shared publicly alongside price

and audience communications on food sustainability

• Zero waste to landfill

• No flights within mainland UK

• Decision-matrix for international travel for staff and artists to take into account price, time,

carbon, and time spent at destination

• Electric taxis

• Slower production design & build timelines for circularity

• Progress to be evaluated in Dec 2020 with remaining emissions to be offset

• Public programme – Open Court: Climate Emergency originally planned for March 2020

TARGET: ‘greenhouse gas neutral’ by 2040

Switching to green electricity tariff within the year;

investigating greener gas supply options

“Nature and Love” project to redisplay natural history

and living collections around ecological & climate

themes

‘Environmental Champions Club’ to inspire visitors to

make their own changes

New role: climate and ecological action coordinator

New planting schemes for biodiversity in the gardens

“We believe the Horniman has a moral and

ethical imperative to act now. As a much-

loved and trusted institution and the only

museum in London in which nature and

culture can be viewed together, we feel we

have a unique opportunity and responsibility

to use our collections, our indoor and

outdoor spaces, and our relationship with

our visitors, to create a movement for

positive environmental change.”

Nick Merriman, Chief Executive of the Horniman
