2. Up-date from UN Process
• In the wake of Copenhagen, meetings in Warsaw (2013) &
Lima (2014) agreed all countries offer voluntary ‘Intended
National Determined Contributions’ (INDC’s), with the goal of
a global agreement by Paris (2015). Many still unreleased!
• Responsible for around 30% of global GHG the G7+EU
policies are projected to only stabilise emissions through to
2030 at close to present levels, but rapid decline is needed.

• The process must not ‘lock’ us into an inadequate path for the
sake of being able to announce an ‘agreement’ - so the Post-
Paris pathway must remain ‘upwardly mobile’ to allow for
cultural, economic and technological shifts in ambition.
• The process requires an evidence based long-term goal
7. • Work on zero emissions has developed independently
in many places, so we need to be clear about
terminology
• We support action on zero emissions that addresses the
demands of the science: 1.5ºC / 2ºC (max)
• All emissions that can go to zero, must go to zero; for
example in burning fossil fuels for energy
• Negative processes are a limited & precious resource
& must be both ecologically & socially responsible
• Only the very minimum residual emissions should be
balanced out by negative process

10. • A global zero emissions target increases domestic
ambition & sets the frame for short-term action
• Getting to zero is a task for everyone. INDC’s need to be
real-life action plans rooted regionally, nationally & locally
• Every country must be supported to access the data,
skills and resources required for zero emissions scenarios
• A new ‘Zero Practitioners Network’ arising from COP21
to share expertise - catalysing collaborations across
borders & across disciplines to accelerate progress
• Report Launch in July 2015!
11. Suggested goals for Paris:
• A short-term goal to equitably shrink global emissions by 2020
• 5-year review process to track progress & ratchet-up ambition
• End to fossil fuel subsidies and support for clean technologies
• Strong commitment to support adaptation, particularly for
lesser developed countries
• Support for a network to explore zero emissions models which
can better engage all areas of global society in the UN process
• A legally binding long-term goal to end CO2 emissions by 2050
and all GHGs soon afterwards
In July 2007 we published Zero Carbon Britain. This was a positive energy scenario on how we could power down our energy waste and power up renewables to meet the demand. We are now updating the report with the help of over a dozen project partners to build more depth and slightly expand the horizons. The last report was largely written by Msc students such as yourselves. There is an opportunity for you to feed into the report and get your work published.
A growing body of work exists, but too many regions, counties & cities still lack the analysis to open new conversations & inform INDCs
