Parish Emissions Baselines It’s all done for you! Dr Ben Anderson (@dataknut) Energy & Climate Change Division Faculty of Engineering & Physical Science (& Hampshire CC Climate Change Expert Stakeholder Forum 19th January 2022

3 Why bother? • Lots of communities want to take action • But what should they focus on? – The small easy things? – The big difficult things? – Working out which of ‘their’ major emissions sources they could change and what difference it would make? • To do that – We need an emissions baseline – (this will also help you measure change…)

4 An example… • All emissions sources fall by 5% of 2018 value per annum • All emissions sinks (sequestration) rise by 5% of 2018 value per annum • We hit net negative in 2034 Net emissions ~ a Science Based Target Net zero emissions Baseline

5 What you may be thinking… • We need to measure: – Processes – Behaviour – & Stuff • We need an ‘all emissions census’ – Audit – Survey • But we don’t have the time/resources/skills

6 DON’T PANIC! • The University of Exeter & the Centre for Sustainable Energy have estimated it for you… Source: https://impact-tool.org.uk/footprint/footprint?parishId=E04004667&footprintType=territorial&scale=absolute • Territorial-based • “emissions that occur within the area’s borders” – Plus share of aviation & shipping – Includes all GHGs -> CO2 e – sequestration – Measured and estimated (modelled) • Consumption-based • “emissions ‘off-shored’ by our consumption of goods and services produced outside the area” – Includes all GHGs -> CO2 e – Measured and estimated (modelled) carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases carbon dioxide equivalent Very different approach
