SUMMARY:Air Pollution and Environmental Justice lecture
DESCRIPTION:Substantial differences exist in both concentrations of outdoor air pollutants and the distribution of emission sources across the UK. How these differences are experienced by individuals\, however\, is unclear. \nSome studies show that lower socioeconomic households\, certain minority ethnicity groups and particular age groups are more exposed to emissions sources and higher air pollution concentrations. These groups may also have elevated exposure related to modes of travel and occupation. Factors affecting disparities associated with indoor air pollution\, including from damp and mould\, cooking\, cleaning\, smoking and heating are also complex. \nThe concept of “environmental justice” is used to assess differential effects of interventions and policy in the United States\, but it is not widely researched or applied in the UK. However\, the UK’s many comprehensive\, open-access government datasets provide opportunities for such differential effects to be further assessed. This lecture will explore how such research can help inform policy decisions. \nThis talk is jointly organised with the Royal Geographical Society. \nProfessor Jo Barnes is Director of the Air Quality Management Resource Centre\, University of the West of England\, Bristol. She has almost 20 years’ research experience in air quality management\, policy and practice at local\, national\, European and international levels. She has worked with and on behalf of numerous local authorities\, Defra and the Devolved Administrations of Scotland\, Wales\, Northern Ireland and Greater London\, other Member States\, the EEA and the European Commission to implement and develop air quality management policies and practices.

SUMMARY:Webinar for owners and occupiers interested in retrofitting listed buildings
DESCRIPTION:Owners and occupiers of listed buildings are invited to attend a two-hour webinar that will help them to understand how they can save energy while also conserving their property. \nThe webinar on Monday 11 November is being organised by the grant-funded Green Heritage Homes project\, a collaboration between Bath & North East Somerset Council\, Bath & West Community Energy (BWCE)\, Bath Preservation Trust\, the Centre for Sustainable Energy and People Powered Retrofit\, which aims to improve understanding of energy efficiency works to listed buildings. \nThe event will feature talks from several of the partner organisations: Bath & North East Somerset Planning & Conservation team will talk about applying for Listed Building Consent; BWCE will be outlining the retrofit services it offers to help owners and occupiers; and Bath Preservation Trust will be discussing how the historic significance of a building is assessed when considering energy measures. \nThe webinar is a repeat of one held in May\, which was attended by more than 80 people. \nCouncillor Sarah Warren\, Deputy Council Leader and Cabinet Member for Climate Emergency and Sustainable Travel at Bath & North East Somerset Council\, said: “The webinar will help homeowners and occupiers of listed buildings to understand how they improve the energy efficiency of their homes while conserving their property. Every individual action taken also helps to support our ambition to be carbon neutral by 2030.” \nAs part of the Green Heritage Homes project\, the council recently launched a Level 0 pre-application advice service that allows owners and occupiers of listed buildings to discuss possible measures with a conservation officer at the initial stages of a potential retrofit project. \nThe Energy Efficient Listed Buildings webinar will be held on MS Teams on Monday 11 November\, 9.30am to 12.00pm. You can sign up for the free event using this link. \nThe Green Heritage Homes project is funded with £344\,308 from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero\, working with the South West Net Zero Hub through the government’s Local Energy Advice Demonstrator Programme (LEAD). Service Level 0 pre-applications will be part of the Green Heritage Homes project until the end of March 2025. \nMore information about Green Heritage Homes can be found on the BWCE website \nThe Service Level 0 pre-application is exclusive to listed buildings (Grade II\, II* and I). Interested homeowners can apply on the council website\, or contact the conservation officer alexandra_best@bathnes.gov.uk to find out more. \nSign up now

SUMMARY:Evolution of economic regulation of the energy sector to reflect Net Zero
DESCRIPTION:I-SEE Sustainable Energy & the Environment Webinar \n‘The evolution of economic regulation of the energy sector to reflect Net Zero’ \nDr Gavin Knott\, Chief Economist at Ofgem \nA presentation and discussion on how the role of regulation has developed over time & how this might need to change further in the future. \nThe energy system has gone through a number of changes in recent years\, and this is expected to continue\, with the government’s announcement that it will seek to decarbonise the power system by 2030. In this talk\, Gavin will talk about how the economics of the energy system are expected to change\, and the implications for Ofgem’s regulation over the next few years. \nDr Gavin Knott is the Chief Economist at Ofgem and works on both regulation of network monopolies and on using economic analysis to help assess how competition and regulation can work together in the consumer interest in energy markets.

SUMMARY:COP29 Azerbaijan: International co-operation for a sustainable future
DESCRIPTION:The 29th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29)\, will take place in Baku\, Azerbaijan\, from 11 to 22 November 2024. With global temperatures hitting record highs\, and extreme weather events affecting people around the globe\, COP29 will bring together leaders from governments\, business and civil society to find solutions to the defining issue of our time. A key focus of COP29 will be on finance\, as trillions of dollars will be required for countries to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect lives and livelihoods from the worsening impacts of climate change. \nCOP29 will be a key moment for countries to present their updated national climate action plans under the Paris agreement\, which are due by early 2025. If done right\, these plans will limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and double as investment plans advancing the Sustainable Development Goals. But what if it fails to secure an agreement that will secure these goals? This BRLSI event brings together a panel of local & national experts on climate change and the sustainability transition – questions welcome! \nThe panel will include Penny Tranter\, former BBC weather forecast presenter and Met Office advisor; Theresa Löber\, Head of Climate Project Team at the Bank of England; Stuart Reynolds\, Emeritus Professor of Biology at the University of Bath; James Spincer\, postgraduate student of Climate\, Policy and Politics at the University of Birmingham; and will be chaired by Chad Staddon\, Professor of Resource Economics and Policy at in the University of the West of England (UWE). \nThis meeting has been co-organised with the Royal Geographical Society and the Royal Meteorological Society.
