ONE PLANET CARDIFF Cabinet Report May 2021 CARDIFF COUNCIL CYNGOR CAERDYDD CABINET MEETING: 20 MAY 2021 ONE PLANET CARDIFF – A RESPONSE TO THE CLIMATE EMERGENCY: KEY PROGRESS LEADER (COUNCILLOR HUW THOMAS) AGENDA ITEM: 6 Reason for this Report 1. To note the substantial progress on the development of the final “One Planet Cardiff Strategy” following the launch of the draft strategy in October 2020, to outline and endorse the Council’s immediate short-term actions and commitments, and to report on feedback from public consultation to help shape a final strategy and action plan for approval in Autumn 2021. 2. To formally recognise the role of the One Planet Cardiff Strategy as a key delivery mechanism for the “Greener, Fairer, Stronger - City Recovery and Renewal Strategy”. Background 3. Notwithstanding the depth of the Covid-19 crisis, the Council has recognised that Climate Change remains the defining global challenge of our generation. The impacts of climate change, including rising sea levels, flood risk, extreme weather events, unsustainable energy supplies and ultimately, widespread economic instability, are putting tens of millions of people and their jobs across the globe at direct risk. These issues are already impacting the Cardiff area and its population. 4. Cabinet approved a draft One Planet Cardiff Strategy for consultation in October 2020 as a response to the Climate Emergency. This set out an ambition for the Council’s operations to be Carbon Neutral by 2030, and to work with city wide partners to develop a road map and action plan for a Carbon Neutral City by 2030. 5. It identified wide ranging opportunities that could reframe the Cardiff economy in a way that is resilient, robust and long-term, ensuring that Cardiff takes advantage of opportunities that can stimulate a “Green Recovery”, with the Council leading a capital city that will be at the forefront of a green and inclusive economy, supporting both environmental and economic recovery in Wales and among the greenest in the UK. 6. The Council has conducted broad and detailed consultation and Page 1 engagement on this draft strategy and the views gathered are helping to shape our actions and proposals. We have also set in motion actions that will help to define much more clearly our current carbon footprint and the impacts of current and potential climate responsive policies and projects. We recognised at the time of the draft report that this “carbon accounting” exercise would be a complex process, and that we wouldn’t wait for a final conclusion to that analysis before taking more immediate decisions and actions that recognise the scale and urgency of the challenges ahead. 7. This report therefore provides an interim update position that: i. reports back on the key outcomes of the consultation; ii. describes the substantial actions that the Council has already taken in its efforts to address the climate emergency; and iii. seeks cabinet approval of some initial key projects, mission statements and policy interventions that move this agenda onwards; iv. seeks delegation for selecting initial in year capital spend. 8. This interim report will be followed by a full and final One Planet Cardiff Strategy later in the year. This will contain details of our carbon accounting methodology and project prioritisation process, along with a more detailed 10-year action plan to deliver our Carbon Neutral ambitions. Issues Public Consultation and Engagement 9. Following the launch of the Draft OPC Strategy in October, the Council facilitated a number of different consultation exercises including: An online consultation questionnaire aimed at the general public; An online questionnaire aimed at local businesses and organisations; A bespoke survey of young people, designed and analysed by Cardiff’s Youth Council, and An Environmental Scrutiny exercise where key experts and stakeholders were invited to give their views on the draft strategy. 10. Appendix A gives a full analysis of this consultation exercise and highlights the key themes, common issues and recommendations that emerged. Almost 2,000 individual responses were received and analysed. The more significant issues that were observed are summarised below and these have already helped to shape our thinking and actions to date: i. The scale of the climate emergency response needs to be resourced appropriately both in terms of staff, resource and implementation funding; ii. Consultation, engagement, leadership and partnership will be crucial throughout the implementation period to 2030 and beyond; Page 2 iii. The strategy will need to consider and deploy a range of different techniques to effectively involve and coordinate public and stakeholder groups; iv. An OPC leadership board with clear project governance and committed resources is needed to steer the work over the long term; v. Any final action plan needs to identify the projects that can be realistically delivered and needs to include a timetable, cost and prioritisation based on carbon reduction in addition to wider social, economic and environmental benefits; vi. Public behaviour change is the biggest challenge in delivering the OPC Strategy and a section should be dedicated stating that the public has an essential role in this. A behaviour change plan needs to be well resourced, and continually in collaboration with partners, over the next 9 years, reviewed and evaluated by people with expertise. 11. Respondents were also asked to rank the various action themes proposed in the draft strategy in order of importance in the context of the Climate Emergency. The top 3 for each of the key consultee groups were as follows: i. Public survey: 1st Energy- demand reduction and increased renewable generation. 2nd Green Infrastructure & Biodiversity; and 3rd Transport – with active travel a key priority. ii. Young people: 1st Energy- demand reduction, increased renewable generation and research. 2nd Built environment- more climate responsive construction and operation. 3rd Green Infrastructure & biodiversity iii. Businesses/organisations (although note that the response level was lower than for the public/young people surveys): 1st Energy - demand reduction and renewable generation 2nd Green Infrastructure & Biodiversity 3rd Transport 12. A positive outcome of the consultation process is that it has confirmed the key themes in the One Planet Cardiff strategy including leadership, governance, partnership and programme priorities. The details of the response have been noted and are being considered in the development of the final Strategy and project prioritisation process, alongside other factors such as predicted carbon impact and potential contribution to other economic and social goals of the joint Climate Emergency and City Recovery effort. Governance and Resources 13. In the One Planet Cardiff Draft Consultation report of October 2020 the Page 3 Council committed to accelerating its response and not to wait for the final report before making a start. Underpinning the commitment of the Council, and recognising the comments made in the public consultation, new governance arrangements have already been formalised in order to drive the necessary change, not only in the Council, but also our public sector partners and more widely across the City. 14. A One Planet Cardiff Steering Group Chaired by the Leader has been established including senior Cabinet members. This is an internal working group where key updates on projects are provided to the Leader and supporting Cabinet members who are then able to steer progress. The Cardiff Youth Council are also active participants, reflecting the need for young people and future generations ta have a clear voice in this agenda. 15. The updated Corporate Plan has formally authorised a series of key projects included in the initial draft OPC strategy. These will be implemented and delivered as part of the “Recovery & Renewal Plan” that has been prepared in response to the COVID-19 crisis. 16. A Climate Emergency Board has been established with our public sector partner organisations from the Public Service Board (PSB) to identify and collaborate on key projects. This board has also expanded to include other key partners outside of the regular PSB partnership including Cardiff University, Wales and West Utilities, Western Power, and Dwr Cyrmu Welsh Water. 17. Cardiff Council has also become the first Welsh local authority to be recognised as a Carbon Literate Organisation by low-carbon charity The Carbon Literacy Trust. 18. Staff Resources: Five additional posts have been funded in the recent Council Budget and in recognition of the need to bring additional resource to the project. Job descriptions are being developed for these and the posts will be advertised and filled in the coming months. It should be noted that 4 of the posts are for temporary 1-to-3-year positions and that, in recognition of the urgency, some of the associated work may need to be delivered through consultancy in the short term. 19. A recurring Capital Fund has also been allocated to help deliver smaller OPC Projects and “quick win” projects. A number of deliverables have been proposed against the 2021/22 budget allocation of £700k as set out below. A small revenue budget has also been allocated to assist with feasibility and impact studies that will assist in our project analysis and prioritisation exercises. Carbon Modelling: Consultancy Appointment 20. The Council has appointed an independent specialist consultant to develop a carbon modelling and assessment tool which will enable a detailed assessment of the key projects outlined below and others to be included in the forthcoming action plan. The work will enable the Final OPC Strategy to be fully developed and the impacts of the interventions Page 4 quantified not only in terms of the Carbon benefits but wider social and economic benefits. This project will also help to develop a more informed and accurate baseline picture of our current carbon footprint, especially in harder to quantify areas such as procurement and staff commute. 21. The overarching ambition of the strategy is to achieve “carbon neutrality”.

The wider study area (as defined by the extent of Figure 19.1) is home to a number of significant commercial ports, in particular Bristol (Avonmouth and Royal Portbury Dock), Cardiff, Newport and Barry, with circa 8 smaller ports including Bristol City Docks and Bridgwater. Collectively these ports are an important part of the regional and national economy; in 2013 they handled around 15.5 million tonnes of cargo. This represents approximately 4% of the UK total (DfT, 2014). 19.1.1.2 Commercial vessels enter the Severn Estuary from the south-west via the deep water approaches in the Bristol Channel.
