Oxford university gardens, libraries & museums (GLAM) Carbon Baseline & Decarbonisation Strategy​ Case Study

3ADAPT has been working with Oxford University’s Gardens, Libraries, and Museums (GLAM) to develop a carbon baseline across scopes 1, 2, and 3, explore net zero targets, and create a decarbonisation strategy. The project spanned three phases, starting with the Ashmolean Museum and expanding to other GLAM departments. 3ADAPT engaged over 40 stakeholders to quantify emissions across seven departments and 50 buildings, focusing on complex sources like visitor and object travel. Workshops and focus groups helped develop tailored decarbonisation plans for each department, outlining key actions for the next 1-2 years.

Museum of London Carbon Baseline & Decarbonisation Strategy Case Study

Museum of London Carbon Baseline & Decarbonisation Strategy Case Study

3ADAPT created a carbon footprint assessment for the Museum of London (MoL), establishing a baseline for scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions across three sites, including one under construction. This involved collaboration with a number of stakeholders to explore relevant data sources and quantify emissions. Carbon reduction targets were explored in alignment with the Science Based Targets initiative, considering MoL's specific challenges, such as new museum construction and London's broader decarbonisation efforts. The next phase will focus on developing a comprehensive decarbonisation strategy for MoL’s operations and assets.
