… in question extends. Even so, it is useful to look into the future to gauge the scale of the challenge to be addressed in each area, especially as it relates to the projected gap between the forecasted emissions levels and those that are required if an area’s emissions are to be consistent with a global strategy to limit average warming to 1.5ºC.

… needs to add to the emissions reductions already achieved to secure 66% reductions on its 2000 level of emissions by 2025, 80% by 2030, 88% by 2035, 93% by 2040, 97% by 2045 and 100% by 2050. In short, the majority of all emissions reductions across the city need to be delivered within the next ten years. • Without further activity to address its carbon emissions, we project that Belfast’s…

… only on CO2. Cost-Effective Options • To meet these carbon reduction targets, Belfast will need to adopt low carbon options that close the gap between its projected emissions in future and net-zero emissions. This can be partially realised through cost- effective options that would more than pay for themselves through the energy cost reductions they would generate whilst generating wide…
