Iceni Projects at COP26: Lets Go Zero

06 Oct 21

Iceni Projects; Barratt Homes; CBRE GI; ElliottWood; HAUS Collective; Mactaggart & Mickel; Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland and SEGRO will cycle over 700 kilometres to COP26 in Glasgow to raise funds in support of Let’s Go Zero.

This November, the pivotal COP26 climate talks will take place in Glasgow. These will set a pathway for the global community for years to come. All eyes will be on the UK for a positive lead. Across the UK, young people are calling for urgent climate action. From Glasgow to Plymouth, Liverpool to Brighton, they’re joining forces to lead the way towards a zero-carbon future.

With school-aged children in 42% of all UK households, our schools can be trailblazers for sustainability and will play a critical role in helping the UK cut carbon emission levels. At the very centre of our communities, they can respond to young people’s calls for action and encourage local families and businesses to join them in taking on the climate crisis. Schools also have the power to prevent 625,000 tonnes of CO2 from entering the atmosphere.

The Let’s Go Zero vision is that by 2030:

All young people receive a robust climate education and leave school or further education, ready to engage in a zero-carbon economy and lifestyle.
UK school estates have been retrofitted, leading to the growth of local green skills and jobs, and improving resilience to extreme weather.
All school buildings built since 2023 will be zero carbon in construction and use.

The campaign is run by a coalition of eight major NGOs supporting schools on sustainability, including Global Action Plan, WWF, Sustrans, Soil Association, Fairtrade Foundation, EcoSchools and Carbon Trust. To date, over 415 schools have joined the campaign and are committed to action.
