… level of cumulative emissions. H&F’s upper limit of cumulative emissions in line with these principles has been calculated at 4.8 million tonnes (Mt) of CO2e13. At current emissions levels this would be exhausted within seven years; cutting emissions early counts for more than cutting late.

Scope 3 emissions are all other emissions that occur due to activity within the borough, but that occur elsewhere (such as in the production and transportation of gas consumed within the borough in this instance). 2,163 2,928 51,724 561 5,170 H&F Council carbon emissions, 2019/20 (tonnes of CO2e) Vehicles (including council…
… until 2030 to take radical action to keep global temperatures within 1.5°C of pre-industrial levels, beyond which catastrophic and irreversible change is expected11. Nevertheless, as of 2019 the world’s greenhouse gas emissions continued to rise by 0.6% on the previous year. 7 Oxfam (2020), Confronting Carbon Inequality, https://oxfamilibrary.openrepository.com/bitstream/handle/10546/621052…
…, and to develop its industrial strategy towards clean sectors. We will 7 support businesses and help create the conditions for these sectors to thrive, as well as directly investing in low-carbon solutions to grow these industries. The borough’s greenhouse gas emissions The borough’s activities directly and indirectly cause the emissions of various greenhouse gases, measured in ‘CO2 equivalent…
… for H&F’s households; 2.5 times the level of our direct emissions alone. While we cannot reduce these emissions to zero solely through our own actions, reducing emissions from the things we use is therefore a key element of the strategy. To meet the aim of keeping global temperature rise under 1.5°C in line with the principles of the Paris Climate Agreement, the borough must also limit its…
