Five key steps

The Carbon Positive Project is delivering a comprehensive approach to carbon management in five key steps:

Calculating NRW's net carbon status

• Calculate greenhouse gas emissions from the use of our buildings, transport, the management of our estate and purchased goods and services
• Estimate carbon sequestration rates of habitats on our estate
• Estimate carbon stocks held within habitats on our estate

Go to Calculating our net carbon status

Evaluating options for mitigation

• Evaluate options to reduce emissions, enhance sequestration and protect carbon stocks
• Prioritise options for delivery by exploring costs, carbon savings, wider benefits and feasibility

Demonstration projects

• Deliver initial projects demonstrating potential mitigation options and best practice

Communications and working with others

• Collaborate with, and learn from, progressive organisations managing their carbon impact in ambitious and innovative ways
• Engage staff and work collaboratively across NRW to embed exemplary carbon management into our activities
• Facilitate and encourage positive action on carbon management across the Welsh public sector through communicating our approach and disseminating best practice

Recording experience and planning future implementation

• Produce reports to record and share our experience and approach
• Develop a plan for future implementation of mitigation options within NRW to sustain action and to further develop NRW as an exemplar in carbon management
