�Climate Action�
Lizzy Carlyle
Head of Climate and Environment
- Supporters and volunteers are more concerned than the public
- They want us to be more proactive and play a more leading tole
Climate Action: engagement
Our climate action objectives integrate across all areas of the Trust and strategy
Climate action also goes hand-in-hand with Everyone Welcome
We will reduce our carbon emissions from all of our activities, to be carbon net zero by 2030
We will capture more carbon from our land, to be carbon net zero by 2030
We will engage others – telling our story widely to inspire action from supporters and policymakers
We will aim to be resilient and adaptable to a changing climate in every choice we make
RACE – reduce, adapt, capture, and engage
We have mapped the required activity to sequester carbon, including; existing habitats, new land use opportunities & investment offsetting
We have scoped the areas where we will need to reduce our carbon output
Our trajectory (net zero line) will reduce over time as the balance between carbon output reductions and carbon capturing is achieved
Climate Action: our net zero pathway
Carbon net zero by 2030*
5% reduction year on year Scope 1 and 2
50% reduction in business travel emissions by 2030*
