GEP Said The NI186 Delivery Plan and work around NI188 are showing how difficult it is to secure the resources necessary at a local level to contribute to the national response. Addressing this gap will be a key challenge for GP in terms of establishing more secure and long term resourcing streams able to support the carbon reduction and climate change adaptation activity that is required now and in the future.

At home? Why not? Invest to Save ASHP £7,000 – Saved £1,000 last year alone A global transition to a low carbon and sustainable economy can create large numbers of green jobs across many sectors of the economy, and indeed can become an engine of development. Environmental technologies—€1,000 billion at present, €2,200 billion by 2020. Energy efficiency technologies: €450 billion at present, €900 billion by 2020 Water supply/sanitation/water efficiency: €185 billion at present, €480 billion by 2020 Sustainable transport: €180 billion at present; €360 billion by 2020. * Estimations from United Nations Environmental Programme and German-based Roland Berger Strategy Consultants.

It reported pre-tax profits of £882,000 for the six months to the end of June 2009. “Because our business is much more energy efficient, we were able to hold our prices all of last year and that had a tremendous effect.” 14 When the brewery facilities needed modernising, Adnams was determined not to take the shortterm, initially cheaper option. “...we took the view it would last for 20 years, and so we wanted lower running costs”. Andy Wood, Adnams’ Managing Director. 15 “Wherever I have gone for carbon savings, I have found I was saving money in running costs.” Andy Wood, Adnams’ Managing Director. 16 Standard disclosure from local governments can help cities share best practice, manage risk, increase operational effectiveness and cost savings, attract investment, foster innovation and ultimately lead to safer, more prosperous cities.
