DESCRIPTION:One third of the world's carbon emissions are emit
 ted by industry. Most industrial emissions relate 
 to producing materials\, and steel and cement are 
 by far the most important contributors. The indust
 ries that make materials are energy-intensive\, so
  have always been motivated to be efficient\, and 
 have now reached a fantastic level of performance.
  However the world's demand for materials is growi
 ng\, and likely to double by 2050. So\, by default
 \, industrial emissions will also double\, unless 
 we do something differently. This talk sets out an
  agenda for making a big difference to global emis
 sions\, by requiring less new material. Based on a
  5 year project\, with eight researchers and a con
 sortium of 20 large industrial partners\, we have 
 gathered evidence on six 'material efficiency' opt
 ions which allow us to provide the same final serv
 ices (such as housing or transport) with significa
 ntly less material. The talk will present a series
  of case studies to demonstrate how these strategi
 es can be applied in practice\, and explore the ac
 tions by government\, businesses and consumers tha
 t would bring them about.
