A partnership of South Lakeland District Council, Cumbria Action for Sustainability (CAfS), University of Cumbria and businesses will work together to help communities, individuals and organisations in South Lakeland District tackle climate change.This feasibility project builds on the work of the Zero Carbon Cumbria Partnership (ZCCP) - a ground-breaking collaboration of 80+ public, private and third sector organisations that has identified the priority actions needed to reduce carbon emissions.The project will establish how 'non-technical barriers' to decarbonisation in rural areas, such as high transport costs, inability to achieve economies of scale, green skills shortage, inefficient housing stock, lack of funding, can be reduced or removed. The outputs of this project will help to inform approaches to overcome these barriers and accelerate the transition to Net Zero in South Lakeland.The project will focus on the priority areas for carbon emissions reduction which have already been identified by the ZCCP and include: improving the energy efficiency of buildings, enabling active travel and electric vehicle infrastructure (mobility), decarbonising local manufacture/production (make and use) and the rural economy (land-use). The project will apply the emissions reduction actions identified by ZCCP to South Lakeland, ensuring their deliverability and fundability and feedback to ZCCP to help inform and refine Cumbria wide decarbonisation plans.The project will involve two workstrands:1. Workshops which will apply an innovative approach, called the Place Standard Tool, to assess the potential for a network of integrated net-zero hubs within the South Lakeland area. Local residents, diverse businesses, young people, community groups and training providers will be invited to identify synergies between different aspects of decarbonisation. The workshops will explore ways in which local business pioneers could catalyse actions which benefit local residents.2. Alongside the Place Standard approach the project will also assess new forms of finance which will enable the establishment of a rural net-zero-living fund for South Lakeland to overcome the financial barriers to decarbonisation in rural areas. This feasibility study will consider repayable grants/revolving loan schemes, income from individuals and organisations seeking to inset irreducible carbon emissions, community benefit funds, and more.The project will deliver a collaboratively developed plan for overcoming non-technical barriers to enable the reduction of priority carbon emissions in South Lakeland.

坎布里亚郡和企业大学坎布里郡可持续性行动（CAFS）的南莱克兰区议会的合作伙伴关系将共同帮助南莱克兰地区的社区，个人和组织解决气候变化。这些可行性项目以零碳碳坎布里亚伙伴关系（ZCCP）为基础，以确定80岁以上的私人，私人，第三名以上的私人，私人竞选活动，建立在这项工作。该项目将确定在农村地区脱碳的“非技术障碍”，例如高运输成本，无法实现规模经济，绿色技能短缺，效率低下的住房库存，缺乏资金，可以减少或取消。 The outputs of this project will help to inform approaches to overcome these barriers and accelerate the transition to Net Zero in South Lakeland.The project will focus on the priority areas for carbon emissions reduction which have already been identified by the ZCCP and include: improving the energy efficiency of buildings, enabling active travel and electric vehicle infrastructure (mobility), decarbonising local manufacture/production (make and use) and the rural economy （土地利用）。该项目将采用ZCCP确定的减少排放措施对南莱克兰（South Lakeland），确保其可交付性，资金和反馈给ZCCP，以帮助和完善Cumbria广泛的脱碳计划。该项目将涉及两个工程：1。将采用一种创新方法（称为位置标准工具）的研讨会，以评估南莱克兰地区境内集成净零枢纽网络的潜力。将邀请当地居民，多样化的企业，年轻人，社区团体和培训提供者确定脱碳的不同方面之间的协同作用。这些研讨会将探讨当地企业先驱可以催化受益于当地居民的行动的方式。2。除了地点标准方法外，该项目还将评估新形式的金融形式，这将使南莱克兰的农村净生活基金能够克服农村地区脱碳的财务障碍。这项可行性研究将考虑可偿还的赠款/循环贷款计划，寻求插入不可还原碳排放的个人和组织的收入，社区福利资金等等。该项目将为克服非技术障碍提供一项共同制定的计划，以促进南莱克兰德（South Lakeland）的优先碳排放量。
