Zero Carbon
- presentation
Minutes:
Anton Frederick and Steven Wilkinson gave a powerpoint presentation on zero carbon.
An international agreement was reached in Kyoto in 1997, which extended the commitments of the United Nations Framework on Climate Change and set targets for future emissions by each developed country. The UK was committed to reducing 6 greenhouse gases by 12.5% by 2010, cut CO2 by 20% by 2010, 60% by 2050 and 80% by 2100.
Housing accounted for up to 30% of all carbon emissions in the UK with an expected rise of 18.5% by 2010. The new build at Henley and Canklow would be compliant with eco standards.
Agreed:- That the presentation be noted.
