Joanna Wright is the artist in residence with Zero Carbon Britain. Her work in progress and research during the residency will be updated online at the Zero Carbon Archive.

The team are now over halfway through this research phase of the Zero Carbon Britain project. 2013 is going to be an important year for us as it will see the launch of a new report in the summer!

What better time to look to the future than at the start of a new year. Here is a round-up of what the team have been working on and what we hope the year holds in store.

The coming year is going to be a very exciting period for the Zero Carbon Britain project.

We are entering the third phase of research, with a brand new team. We'll be conducting research over the next 12 months, building on the knowledge, feedback and networks we have gained to date, in order to develop a new, up-dated and more detailed Zero Carbon Britain - amongst some other exciting new plans!

The Centre for Alternative Technology’s pioneering project Zero Carbon Britain has been recognised in RenewableUK’s first Energy Awards

Zero Carbon Britain received the Renewables Campaigner Award, which recognises “campaigning excellence and leadership in winning public support for renewable energy.” The project, which is now entering a new phase of research, provides a clear policy framework for rapidly decarbonising the UK.

RenewableUK described the project as “an inspirational movement for change in the UK,” celebrating its positive, practical message in a ceremony in London.
