The
SLA Roadmapping Workshop with the first 7 pilot families has taken
place at the ETSAV School of Architecture (UPC) at Sant Cugat del
Vallès.
In
a first step the results of the Quick Footprint Questionnaire, which
allowed to analise the current material and carbon footprint of our
families, have been presented, with detailed information about their
impact inf the fields of housing, mobility, food, consumption and
leisure activites.
It
showed that footprints where quite diverse, from arround 3.8t up to
over 18 tonnes of CO2 per person. A more detailed look at the results
showed that mainly long distance travelling has been the cause for
individual elevated footprints, and interesting discussions arose
regarding the impact of mobility and posible future changes in order to
mitigate these impacts.
As
second step a range of over 70 "actions for footprint reduction" have
been presented to the families, with detailed information about the
individual contribution of each action to a lower carbon footprint. One
day of working at home instead of traveling 20 km to the office by
private car would allow for savings of arround 120kg CO2 a year.
Changing to a 100% renewable electricity supplier might have an impact
of arround 900kg CO2 per year, depending of the current supplier and its
energy mix, as well as the individual consumption pattern.
With
this detailed information about specific options, families designed a
set of actions which would bring them to a "3 tonnes CO2 per person
lifestyle", considered an important milestone for 2030 in order to limit
global warming to 1.5ºC in 2100, and before aiming for a "1 ton CO2 per
person lifestyle" in 2050.
After
this exercise, families entered into the third part of the workshop:
locating their individually selected options on a timeline to 2030 in
order to define which action might be implementated in which moment.
Through this las step, families achieved creating their personal and
specific roadmap towards a more sustainable lifestyle, which is now
ready to be implemented!
Based
on this first experiences in all 7 partner countries, the SLA project
aims to develop in the upcoming 2 years an online platform which will
allow the personal calculation, roadmapping and tracking of the CO2 and
material footprints of private households through digital tools.
During
the next 2 month our pilot families will start implementing their
roadmaps, we will support them together with local stakeholders like the
municipality of Sant Cugat, and we will gather further knowledge how to
foster the process and improve the success of the Sustainable Lifestyle
Accelerator methodology.
