Bristol has worked for over a decade to become the UK's greenest city, with its 2003 community strategy aiming to make it "a green capital in Europe." Key milestones included founding the Bristol Green Capital Partnership in 2007 and hosting the European Green Capital award in 2015. Bristol won the 2015 European Green Capital award due to many years of pioneering environmental action, strong performance across categories like recycling and green jobs, effective partnerships, and ambitious investment in sustainability and transportation totaling over €800 million. As the 2015 Green Capital, Bristol empowered communities through €2 million in grants for 187 local projects, educated residents on sustainability, and convened voices of cities at the COP21 climate conference.

Renewables - funding for the future

walescva

This document summarizes a conference on funding for third sector organizations in Wales. It discusses how renewable energy projects can provide communities with long-term income streams through mechanisms like feed-in tariffs and how specific Welsh communities have implemented hydroelectric, biomass, and other renewable projects. Support organizations that can help communities develop renewable projects are also listed.

How to Exploit funding to deliver collaborative projects

KentEstates

The document discusses how to exploit funding to sustain collaborative projects between public sector organizations. It outlines that assets should enable service delivery rather than hinder it. The new model relies on financial self-sustainability, with public investment as seed capital to drive transformational change. Collaborative projects require leadership buy-in, effective partnership working through shared governance, and clearly defined success measures around integrated services, economic growth, cost savings and capital receipts. Case studies demonstrate models of self-funding library projects and strategic reviews of blue light services' property assets.

Alex Bellisario - Citizan in the Severn

SevernEstuary

Profile: Alex is the CITiZAN Archaeologist for Outreach in Portsmouth, based in the Nautical Archaeology Society offices. She, along with her colleague, works to train new and existing archaeological groups on how to identify, record and monitor archaeology and work to raise awareness of coastal heritage to local communities. CITiZAN in the Severn As coastal archaeologists we face processes which are destructive to archaeology but cannot be protected against. The coastal zone does not, and cannot be afforded the protection that terrestrial archaeology, or even maritime archaeology to a certain degree, enjoys. When looking at Historic Environment Records the coast often looks sparse, we have thousands of records which have been identified through development archaeology but coastal development is very limited, for obvious reasons. So how do we work to identify and record an archaeological resource which is unquantified, fragile, constantly eroding and spans thousands of miles? The CITIZAN (Coastal and Intertidal Zone Archaeological Network) project aims to do just this, with its three regional teams covering hundreds of miles each and working in environments from low lying estuaries to granite cliffs. This presentation will look at the recording of complex archaeological sites in the diverse coastal zone, focusing on the use of new technologies and their accessibility with a focus on our work in the Severn Estuary.

2006 09 10,000 Years of Change, Richard Brunning

SevernEstuary

The document summarizes the work of the Severn Estuary Levels Research Committee from 1991-2005. The committee was made up of amateurs and professionals from universities, local authorities, heritage organizations, and archaeological contractors. Their goals were to coordinate, promote, and disseminate research on the archaeology of the Severn Estuary region, and to provide an academic overview of archaeological and environmental research. Over the years, they produced annual reports, conferences, publications, and field meetings to share knowledge about sites dating back 10,000 years that have been uncovered throughout the estuary.

2006 08 Tidal Severn Flood Risk Management Strategy and Avonmouth Scheme - Ni...

SevernEstuary

This document discusses strategic approaches to flood defence and coastal protection. It recommends adopting long-term strategic plans, such as Shoreline Management Plans (SMPs) and Tiered Strategic Studies (TSSs), to help with decision making and investment. SMPs provide a framework for sustainable coastal defence policies over 50 years, while TSSs identify flood risks, options, and preferred solutions with implementation plans. Both align with the government's "Making Space for Water" initiative, which also supports catchment-wide and shoreline-wide strategic approaches.

2006 07 Avonmouth Renewable Energy Project - Patrick Kearon, The Bristol Port...

SevernEstuary

The Bristol Port Company proposed erecting 3 wind turbines at their site in Avonmouth Dock to supply up to 75% of the port's electricity from renewable sources. An environmental assessment found the optimal turbine location had low visual and wildlife impacts. While some increased visibility was found from nearby villages, mitigation measures ensured no major adverse effects. The project would make a significant contribution to the UK's renewable energy targets while reducing CO2 emissions. Construction was planned to begin in 2006.

2006 06 Severn Barrage: Is the Tide Turning? - David Kerr, Sir Robert McAlpine

SevernEstuary

The document discusses proposals for a tidal barrage across the Severn Estuary between Cardiff and Weston-super-Mare that could generate renewable energy from tidal power. It would utilize proven tidal power technology, impounding the tide with the barrage and releasing the water through turbines. The barrage could produce up to 17 terawatt-hours of electricity annually, helping the UK meet its renewable energy targets. However, the project would require an estimated capital cost of £14 billion and further environmental review given changes in the estuary since prior studies in the 1980s. The document reviews the potential construction, operation, costs, benefits, and impacts of the proposed tidal barrage.

2006 05 Severn Estuary Perspective - Roger Wade, Environment Agency

SevernEstuary

This document discusses the potential impacts of climate change on the Severn Estuary region. It outlines direct impacts such as increased flood risk and coastal erosion as well as impacts to habitats and water resources. Indirect impacts include effects on renewable energy production, aggregates dredging, and tourism. Specific concerns mentioned include increased flood damage by 2080, coastal erosion under high emissions scenarios, changes in bird and fish populations, effects on water resources like salt water ingress and dredging costs, and pressures from aggregate dredging and housing demand.

2006 04 Regional Perspective - Sarah Hendell-Blackford, SW Climate Change Imp...

SevernEstuary

Climate Change: Implications for the South West is a document about observed and predicted climate change in the South West region of England. It discusses how the South West Climate Change Impacts Partnership (SWCCIP) was established in 2001 to investigate, inform, and advise on the impacts of climate change in the region. The partnership includes key regional stakeholders. The document also summarizes anticipated changes for the region, including warmer and drier summers and milder and wetter winters by the 2050s and 2080s.

2006 03 National Predictions - David Woolf, National Oceanographic Centre

SevernEstuary

This document summarizes the key effects of climate change from a national and marine perspective. It discusses how global warming is causing temperature increases and sea level rise. It also explains how climate change could alter weather patterns through changes in atmospheric conditions like the North Atlantic Oscillation. The document raises the possibility of a collapse in the Atlantic thermohaline circulation and the combined impacts of greenhouse gases and such a collapse, including additional sea level rise and temperature changes. The summary concludes that global warming presents risks like sea level rise and increased storminess that could impact coastal defenses, offshore engineering, and renewable energy.

2006 02 Intergrated Management and the Severn Estuary - Peter Burbridge, Newc...

SevernEstuary

This document discusses integrated coastal management for the Severn Estuary in the UK. It provides background on the evolution of coastal management approaches. It then discusses some of the key issues facing coastal management, including climate change, shoreline management, and changing economic and land use patterns. It also describes how coastal partnerships in the UK have helped advance integrated planning, though continued funding is a challenge. The document concludes that fully implementing integrated coastal management for the Severn Estuary will take time and determination, and the process will need to be driven locally given the lack of a clear national policy framework.
