Analysis: Tool 2 CSE Matrix
An introduction Zoe Redgrove Centre for Sustainable Energy June 2010
What is the matrix? A tool for understanding a local authority’s influence on local CO2 emissions across its roles and responsibilities A self-assessment tool that reveals how well a local authority is using its influence over local CO2 emissions
A mechanism for bringing together staff from different disciplines and functions across a local authority to discuss CO2 emission reduction A guide to performance improvement opportunities Excel spreadsheet (2007 and 2003 versions available)
Where did the matrix come from? Developed as part of project for Defra and DTI in 2005 led by Bristol-based charity, the Centre for Sustainable Energy Used by Easington DC, LB of Islington, Bristol CC, and Dorset with input from CSE and others on their own
Feature of LGA Climate Change Commission work in 2007 Underpins content of other tools and resources developed subsequently (eg IDeA Beacon toolkit)
Updated in 2009 with support from SW RIEP to reflect introduction of NI 186 (and 185) and latest developments in policy and practice

Final points… It’s not just an assessment tool
Think of the matrix mainly as a tool for bringing people together on a cross-departmental basis to focus on how their work influences local CO2 emissions and what they could do about it Not a substitute for starting to monitor actions and initiatives that curb local CO2 emissions, as provided by TrACE www.cse.org.uk/matrix
Whom would you involve? Whom do you think you should invite to a meeting to focus on assessing your local authority’s performance using the matrix? What arguments would they use to refuse your invitation and how would you counter them?

Impact of National Policy Measures on Local Carbon Emissions RIEP Climate Change Project 015 Guy Hitchcock
The Questions? What does all the latest national policy mean for carbon emissions locally? What influence do we have over the delivery or effectiveness of these policies? Where is our influence greatest and what should we focus our effort on?
What are the gaps and where could additional local action be carried out?
Project goals • Estimate a baseline covering all GHG’s and main sectors • Indentify key policy mechanisms and who is responsible for delivery • Estimate impact of these policy measures at the local level • Identify key LA influence and areas to target
