SECTOR CHALLENGES – RETROFIT / NEW HOUSING / …



GM GREEN SUMMIT PRE-WORKSHOP - Building a Zero Carbon Greater Manchester:PATHWAY / ROUTE-MAP TEMPLATEJR V0.3 – 01-03-18These ‘pathway / route-map templates’ are a resource for the Pre-workshop & related events, come up with tangible outcomes. These will be in the form of - ‘Now’ – starting points Short term (1 year) research / early action programme. Medium term (5 year) policy & action programLonger term (20 years) goals & horizonsEach template contains some draft suggestions from the GM buildings group. The workshop is invited to improve on these and work out how to put them into practice. To move towards practical action, we use the template attached: with each sector (new build, retrofit etc) and each cross-cutting ‘delivery challenge’ (finance, skills, innovation, governance, social issues) : Headline questions & goals – what is the big vision?? (some text is suggested, to be improved)Pathway questions – what is to be done, who can do it, how, and where? (some text is suggested, to be improved)‘How much’ questions – ‘value chains & business models’ – a key component (with ongoing research in the Mini-Lab, to be followed up in the next workshop)When questions – what to do: now, 1 year, 5 years, or 20 years horizon. Visual thinking with diagrams & cartoons, is strongly encouraged… This ‘master template’ can be used as a checklist & to track back the ‘delivery challenges’ to the ‘sector challenges’.
