Consumption based approach to tackling climate changeThese Young Minds
The document summarizes a plan to reduce London's carbon emissions through sustainable consumption and production approaches. It models scenarios to cut CO2 emissions by 90% through measures like renewable electricity grids, reducing personal transport, buying longer-lasting consumer goods, and modifying business models to help consumers reduce their impacts. While the cuts are achievable through lifestyle and behavioral changes, it will require shifts in consumption patterns, business models, and human behavior to implement fully.
This document discusses how addressing climate change makes business sense for retailers and other companies. It provides examples of large retailers like Walmart, Carrefour, Tesco, and Ikea committing to reduce their energy use and increase renewable energy to cut costs and improve their brands. The Co-operative Group is highlighted for sourcing 99% of its electricity from renewables, reducing its energy use and packaging, and offsetting carbon for some products. Addressing climate change through energy efficiency saves these companies money while gaining positive publicity.
The Mayor of London works to make London a more resilient, sustainable and resource efficient city, where businesses want to be based and where people want to live and work.
To achieve the Mayor’s vision for the environment, the GLA develops and delivers a set of results-focused programmes. These programmes also create jobs and attract investment in areas such as waste recycling, water, green infrastructure, energy and the low carbon and green economy.
RE:FIT and RE:NEW are the Mayor of London award-winning programmes to help make London homes, non-domestic buildings and assets more energy efficient by cutting carbon emissions and energy bills. These programmes support organisations to develop and bring their energy efficiency projects to market.

SBC on energy efficiency for SMEs Dec 2015Barbara Albert
This presentation helps small and medium sized business become a more profitable business by helping them increase their energy efficiency.
SMEs are struggling with the ever rising energy costs that are adding to the overhead. It is also hard to get a proper handle on analysing bills and managing energy in a small to medium sized organisation as there is no money for a dedicated person to manage this area. And increasingly customers expect businesses to do the right thing and to be more sustainable. At the intersection of these three forces is the fear that competitors might do a better job.
This presentation helps SMEs think about ways on how they can manage their energy consumption so they spend less on utilities. This increases the bottom line and as a side effect, the business also understands and controls their energy consumption. If the success stories are shared well, customers will think positively about the company, which will further increase profits. Businesses will feel so much more confident about doing their bit and will have a more profitable business by following the steps that are outlined in this presentation.

The document discusses the importance of mineral resources like phosphorus and potash for food security and economic growth. It notes that while phosphorus reserves are large, improved sustainability is needed. Potash production needs to double to meet global demand. Fertilizer minerals present a challenge to ensure affordable access for growing populations, particularly in Africa. More research is needed to develop alternatives if conventional fertilizers become inaccessible.
Rapid economic growth in China, India, Brazil and other nations is driving increased global demand for minerals. However, mineral supply is constrained, keeping prices high. This geopolitical context increases risks for countries dependent on foreign mineral imports like the UK. The UK government is taking steps to understand its strategic mineral vulnerabilities and options to improve security of supply through stockpiling, recycling and potentially developing domestic resources. International approaches include bilateral trade agreements, investment in alternative supplies and technologies, and national strategic stockpiles.

The document summarizes trends in the UK manufacturing sector from 2000-2012. It describes how manufacturing output fell sharply during the recession in 2008-2009 due to declining domestic and foreign demand. Export orders recovered in 2010 as sterling depreciated, and manufacturers replenished inventories. While output grew strongly in the recovery, rising costs led to inflation. Sentiment deteriorated in late 2011 due to concerns about political and economic conditions abroad. The outlook is that manufacturing output will continue rising modestly, supported by export orders, but long-term challenges remain around higher commodity prices.
