… for the Cheshire West and Chester area. The key recommendations of the report were that, to make its ‘fair’ contribution towards the Paris Climate Change Agreement, Cheshire West and Chester should do the following. 1. Stay within a maximum cumulative carbon dioxide emissions budget of 24.0 million tonnes (MtCO2) for the period of 2020 to 2100. At 2017 CO2 emission levels, Cheshire West and Chester…
… What is Carbon Neutrality? Carbon Neutrality is a term that is interchangeable with the term ‘net zero carbon’. It refers to carbon dioxide emissions being balanced with carbon reduction (offsetting) measures such as tree planting and carbon capture and storage. It is essential that we minimise the need for carbon reduction measures by reducing our emissions as fully as possible. Typically…
… such as the Carbon Disclosure Project. 2. The provision of a scientifically informed carbon budget for the Cheshire West and Chester area via the ‘grandfathering’ of UK’s national emissions budget under the Paris Agreement to the Cheshire West area. 3. Analysis using the Setting City Area Targets and Trajectories for Emission Reduction (SCATTER) tool to review the impact of forty interventions at four…
… seeking to limit emissions to meet the area’s carbon budget. Carbon neutrality means that we need to reduce our emissions to ‘net zero’, so that any carbon emissions produced in Cheshire West and Chester by 2045 would be met by an equal level of carbon sequestration (capture). Throughout this document, the term carbon neutrality and net zero are used as widely understood proxies for net-zero…
… greenhouse gas emissions, which is the intent of the Council’s Climate Emergency declaration. The actions within the plan are intended to be initiated within the Council’s current Council Plan period, 2020-24. This plan and objective are linked to, but distinct from, the Council’s organisational Carbon Management Plan, which concerns the actions that the Council will take to reduce its emissions…
