Achieve environmental growth throughout and around Cornwall and Scilly

Using ideas about natural capital and eco-systems thinking to our address our challenges

Strengthen sustainable economy harnessing the value of a well managed natural environment

Cornwall & Scilly: Natural Capital of the UK!

What we’re for• Environmental

Growth Strategy

• Extend quality dialogue on environmental issues

• Catalyse win-win consensus

• fights become a lot less damaging when you’ve got more assets

What needs doing?• We need a better understanding of our challenges • Cornwall’s environmental responsibilities need to be better shared• Costly environmental conflicts need to be prevented• Wide range of actors need to work together in partnership • Economic investment and public sector cuts both need to be

managed to optimise natural assets• Fundamentally our environmental resources need to grow

What we’ve done• Created a space for the environment in

strategic discussions• Developed conversations about

Environmental Growth and Natural Capital in Cornwall

• Supported the Environmental Growth Strategy development

• Engaged with key actors in Government, nationally and locally to make the environment relevant to more people

• Engaged the environment sector to start aligning and focus our priorities

• Facilitated development of Catchment Partnership

• Helped shape EU SIF Strategy and emerging Cornwall Sustainability Standard

RESEARCH CONTEXT &

APPROACH

Climate Change and Values, Culture and Beliefs. Learning From Businesses

Research Context & Approach

• The importance of SMEs

– 99.9% of UK’ 4.9 million private sector businesses are SMEs

– UK’s SMEs employ 59% of the employed population

– Over 50% of the UK’s GHG emissions are linked to businesses Reduce emissions

Adapt to climate change

Drive economic, societal and political change with and against climate change

Scientific vs. Social Consensus?!?!

• BUT: many SMEs do not recognize their crucial role for the

mitigation and adaptation of climate change

– More than 70% of global companies do not have emission

targets

– 50% of businesses in the UK view a move towards a low carbon

economy as important but these businesses often fail to take

action

Research Findings

‘Climate change hasn't impacted us. Scientists can measure it but

as normal human beings we would have to experience climate

change. It requires a certain leap of faith and insight to actually

be able to say that this is how the world is going to be in 50 years

time. But it’s difficult for us. The simple thing for us to understand

is that if you keep using stuff, it will run out.’ (Simon, Business

Leader, 2012)


Research Findings: Why business leaders engage with climate

change

‘In terms of how [climate change engagement] works with our

business is that, in some respects, it doesn't. It’s something that I

was just really interested in […]. [...] So to begin with it was my

own conviction [...]. It was personal interest and personal

conviction which kind of span out to have business benefits as

well.’ (Mark, Business Leader, 2012)

ENGINEERING CONSULTANCY

What is the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Industry – Today?

• Round 1 sites have been operating for several years – firmly into the O&M cycles.

• Round 2 and 3 sites are well into planning.

• Significant sites are reaching consent with FID due within the next twelve months

Offshore Wind

• 2 types: “in-stream” and “tidal range”

• In-stream commercial prototypes deployed

• First commercial arrays have reached FID

• French pilot farms under design

Tidal Energy

Courtesy of Voith Hydro Ocean Technologies

• Still at an early pre-commercial state

• However, significant deployments planned at Wave Hub over next 24 months

• In terms of global resource – real potential

Wave Power

Growing within the ORE industry – Mojo’s experiences

• Core marine operations skillset

• Developed engineering, design and analysis support functions

• Understood the financial issues faced by developers

• INNOVATION!

• COLLABORATION!
