Three working groups were formed and participants retreated to various places across campus to discuss the proposed carbon reduction actions for the three sectors. The consultation concluded with a plenary where each group presented their recommendations.
On Friday March 21st, 2014, Factor CO2 conducted a training exercise among a small group comprising of persons from the three key sectors on the development and the use of the model which was utilised for the development of business as usual (BAU) emission scenarios for the three sectors locally. It was practical experience in model use allowing key stakeholders to understand how the scenarios were generated given the data available and assumptions made.
