… pathways Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) commissioned research to understand potential carbon reduction pathways to implement these recommendations using a model called SCATTER (Setting City Area Targets and Trajectories for Emissions Reductions)3 . This provides different pathways depending on local decisions taken across over 40 different interventions, which can each…

… be implemented to 4 different extents. Figure 1 sets out potential carbon reduction pathways for Greater Manchester, against the budget recommended by the Tyndall Centre’s research. This shows that: • Under “SCATTER Level 4” pathway (each of the 40+ interventions pulled to the maximum extent), carbon neutrality is possible to achieve but emissions of nearly 20% above the Tyndall Centre’s…

… together. The threat of climate change – reducing our carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions Mitigating climate change is the most significant of our environmental challenges. We need to make our fair contribution to global commitments aimed at limiting global temperature rise. Research was carried out in 2018 by the Tyndall Centre for Climate Research3 to calculate what a fair contribution…
