本文报道了一个社区组织零排放努萨的案例研究，该组织的目标是到2026年在努萨郡（澳大利亚昆士兰州）实现100%的可再生电力。本文描述了零排放努萨用于制定零排放计划的流程，包括社区参与和外部顾问的使用。聘请外部顾问编写了一份详细的报告，概述了如何在2026年前成功实现努萨郡电力零排放。本文解释了用于编制报告的社区参与过程如何以及为什么与报告本身的结果一样重要。进行了建模，并提供了详细的背景信息。让社区参与制定建模的场景参数有很多好处，包括建立他们的行动发生的背景，并将精力集中在技术上可行、经济上可行且在他们能力范围内的选项上实施。这为社区召集会议和联系利益攸关方提供了一个协调中心。它没有规定一个特定的行动方针，而是产生了一个备选办法工具箱，一系列可能的解决办法，这些办法足够灵活，可以适应社区倾向于采取的任何行动。因此，本文讨论的方法和结果应该对其他具有类似碳减排目标的社区有用。
This paper reports on a case study of the community group Zero Emissions Noosa, whose goal is for 100% renewable electricity in the Noosa Shire (Queensland, Australia) by 2026. Described within this paper are the processes used by Zero Emissions Noosa to set up their zero emissions plan, involving community engagement and the use of an external consultant. The external consultant was employed to produce a detailed report outlining how to successfully achieve zero emissions from electricity in the Noosa Shire by 2026. This paper explains how and why the community engagement process used to produce the report was just as important as the outcomes of the report itself. Modeling was undertaken, and both detailed and contextual information was provided. Inclusion of the community in developing the scenario parameters for the modeling had a number of benefits including establishing the context within which their actions would occur and focusing their efforts on options that were technically feasible, financially viable and within their capabilities to implement. This provided a focal point for the community in calling meetings and contacting stakeholders. Rather than prescribing a particular course of action, it also resulted in a toolbox of options, a range of possible solutions that is flexible enough to fit into whatever actions are preferred by the community. The approach and outcomes discussed in this paper should, therefore, be useful to other communities with similar carbon emission reduction goals.
