Pioneer Parks: Modelling a common framework to track and accelerate progress towards Net Zero in National Parks using the One Planet Platform

国家公园和AONB是英国的"绿色肺"，提供重要的公共服务，帮助人们进入乡村，保护和增强我们珍贵的景观和野生动物。这里也是充满活力的城镇和村庄的所在地，是重要的农村商业社区，是英国雄心勃勃的自然恢复和气候变化目标的关键。南唐斯国家公园是英国人口最多的国家公园，有117，000人居住在这里，220万人居住在我们边界10公里内。南唐斯绵延100英里，横跨汉普郡、东萨塞克斯郡和西萨塞克斯郡，包括12个区和自治市以及176个城镇和教区。每年有超过1880万人参观南唐斯，国家公园是8,000家企业的所在地，雇用了54,000人。有这么多的公共、私营和社区部门利益相关者，我们需要工具，使每个人都能共同努力，迅速实现净零。这是一个相当大的挑战，不同的组织使用不同的方法和指标来规划，交付和跟踪其进展，使协作和知识共享变得棘手和耗时。SDNPA与Small World Consulting合作，为国家公园建立了一个全面的、基于消费的碳基准方法。这种方法现已应用于英国所有15个国家公园。我们的净零生活先锋地奖将使我们能够与OnePlanet合作，建立一个新的跨部门软件平台，将不同组织的战略和行动计划汇集在一个共享的、易于使用的工具中，通过符合巴黎气候变化协定的共同指标来确定共同成果和跟踪活动。这将使利益相关者能够以清晰、一致和灵活的方式协作、规划、管理、报告和分享净零排放的进展。最初，** 我们将与刘易斯区理事会和乌塞谷气候行动合作，提供概念验证 **-这是一个多伙伴民间社会项目，包括社区能源企业、非政府组织和社区团体。然后，我们将 ** 扩大规模，在整个公园范围内，南唐斯多部门试点 **，包括苏塞克斯和汉普郡的其他地方当局、南唐斯商业网络成员和关键项目。* * 我们的长期目标是为所有英国国家公园和AONB创建一个“一站式”工具，以管理其碳减排计划-将英国18%的土地面积（英格兰23%）纳入一个共同框架。

National Parks and AONBs are the UK's 'green lungs', providing a vital public service to help people access the countryside and protect and enhance our cherished landscapes and wildlife. They are also home to vibrant towns and villages, an important rural business community and form a lynchpin of the UK's ambitious nature recovery and climate change targets.The South Downs National Park is the most populated National Park in the UK, with 117,000 people living here and 2.2 million living within 10km of our boundary. The South Downs stretch 100 miles across the counties of Hampshire, East & West Sussex, including 12 Districts and Boroughs and 176 towns and parishes. Over 18.8 million people visit the South Downs each year and the National Park is home to 8,000 businesses, employing 54,000 people.With so many public, private and community-sector stakeholders, we need the tools to enable everyone to work together to move rapidly towards Net-Zero. This is a considerable challenge, with different organisations using different methods and indicators to plan, deliver and track their progress, making collaboration and knowledge-sharing tricky and time-consuming. We need to work smarter to achieve our climate change goals.The SDNPA worked with Small World Consulting to establish a comprehensive, consumption-based, approach to carbon baselining for National Parks. This methodology is now applied across all 15 UK National Parks. Our Net-Zero Living Pioneer Places Award will allow us to work with OnePlanet to model a new cross-sector software platform, bringing together different organisations' strategies and action plans in one shared, easy-to-use, tool, identifying shared outcomes and tracking activity through common indicators that comply with the Paris Climate Change Agreement. This will allow stakeholders to collaborate, plan, manage, report on and share progress towards Net-Zero in a clear, consistent and agile manner.Initially, **we will deliver a Proof of Concept**, working with Lewes District Council and Ouse Valley Climate Action - a multi-partner civil society project, including community energy businesses, NGOs and community groups.We would then **scale up to produce a Park-wide, multi-sector pilot for the South Downs**, incorporating other Local Authorities across Sussex and Hampshire, members of the the South Downs Business Network and key projects. **Our long-term aim is to create** **a 'one stop shop' tool for all UK National Parks and AONBs to manage their carbon descent plans - bringing 18% of the UK land area (23% in England) under one common framework.**
