… of data, and so this strategy will be further developed and updated as we improve the data on carbon emissions. Scope Greenhouse gases are categorised into three groups, or scopes: scope one covers direct emissions from owned or controlled sources; scope two covers indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, heating and cooling and; scope three includes all other indirect…

… service-based activities. Borough Wide Emissions Pathway Appendix A contains updated emissions data relating to borough-wide pathways to carbon neutrality. This modelling uses EnergyPRO and looks at emissions from Southwark’s buildings, on-road transport and energy supply, assessing the opportunities for emissions reduction. Achieving carbon neutral assumes a transition to electrified…

… as a core principle. 5. Ensure the recovery does not lock-in greenhouse gas emissions or increased risk. 6. Strengthen incentives to reduce emissions when considering tax changes. The CCC outlined that low-carbon investment in emitting sectors would stimulate jobs, stabilise future economic resilience, and mitigate climate related risks.

… emergency that must be tackled. Climate change directly impacts the world’s species and ecosystems, driving biodiversity loss on a considerable scale. The scale of the challenge is vast. Our most recent analysis, consistent with up-to- date carbon accounting standards, indicates that in 2017 Southwark’s emissions were 1,288kt CO2e. We are using this as our baseline for this strategy. The council…

… Emissions Estimated figures from 2021 show that around 88% of the borough’s total carbon emissions are not within direct control of the council, and around 12% are. The council has been taking steps to reduce the carbon emissions from its own operations. From a 2008 baseline, the council has reduced its own carbon by 36.7%. We have done this through a range of measures such as consolidation…
