Changing emphasis within the council

• In the beginning you paid your utility bills
• Then there was the Energy Manager
• Then the Sustainability/LA 21 Officer
• Then the Carbon Manager
• Now the Climate Change Team!

Initiative Overload

• More and more climate change related legislation
• Seek common purposes and methodology to reduce
  the administrative burden
• CYBER has common ground with UK EPB legislation,
  CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme, NI185 186 and CSR
  leadership.
