Baselining the carbon impacts of education

In this episode of Infrastructure for a better future, we look at the Carbon Neutral Government Programme, which aims to accelerate emissions reduction in the public sector. In particularly, we look at the work being undertaken by the Ministry of Education. As part of this programme, the Ministry has baselined its emissions across two and a half thousand schools and kura - no easy task. The work is just beginning, but it's already made a difference, through projects like the boiler replacement programme - which has a target to remove all coal boilers by the end of June 2025.

Rebecca Robertshawe, Director or Projects and Programmes - Infrastructure Delivery at Te Waihanga, spoke to Tracy Finlayson, Programme Director - Emission Reductions: Schools and Kura at Ministry of Education, about the challenges of conducting this work, the successes, and what the next steps are for the programme.
