CLIMATE CHANGE INDICATORS Sample Clauses

CLIMATE CHANGE INDICATORS. Indicators can be used to track and communicate causes and effects of climate change. US Environmental Protection Agency identified 37 climate change indicators to understand changes observed from long-term records related to the causes and effects of climate change, the significance of these changes, and their possible consequences for people, the environment, and society. These indicators focus on U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. EPA’s indicators generally cover broad geographic scales and many years of data, as this is the most appropriate way to view trends relevant to climate change.22 The following is a list of these climate change indicators along with the status. Greenhouse Gases Greenhouse gases have been found to be the most significant drivers of climate change, and among others carbon dioxide is the major contributor of greenhouse gas emissions. The significant contributor of carbon dioxide is electricity generation and transportation. The following four indicators are related to greenhouse gases.

  • Targets and Milestones You may choose to develop specific additional targets and milestones which assess your performance in ITT over time – particularly if ITT trainees make up a significant proportion of your overall student body. Alternatively, you may have targets and milestones in your existing 2012-13 access agreement which you now also wish to apply to undergraduate and/or postgraduate ITT trainees. These targets may be statistical – based on how representative your entrants are and/or your retention performance – and might include annual or interim milestones to help you monitor whether you are making progress. You may wish to include criteria around the numbers of trainees in receipt of a full or partial maintenance grant, as financial data will need to be collected to determine bursary support and the data will also be accessible through the Student Loans Company for HEBSS subscribers. You may also wish to consider the TDA guidance at Annex C which gives information on specific groups that are Annex A underrepresented in the teaching profession. In this section, please state whether you intend to develop additional targets and milestones, or the extent to which you intend to use targets and milestones in your existing agreement which you now wish to extend to apply to undergraduate and/or postgraduate ITT trainees. Where you have new or amended milestones and targets, you should set these out in your Excel template (Annex B) at Table 6. The University of Cambridge does not intend to adjust its current targets or to develop additional targets and milestones for its ITT provision. The number of students on the PGCE programme amount to less than 4% of the total population of Cambridge students with which the Office for Fair Access is concerned, and all of those students have already experienced a first taste of higher education. It would therefore be disproportionate to set specific aims and objectives for this group.
