… this century (Box 1.2). To meet our fair share of the global pollution reduction burden means cutting CO2 by an at least an average of 13.4% each year compared to the present reduction of around 3.8 % per year (Figure 3)12,13, i.e. around three and a half times more. Box 1.1: STAYING WITHIN WIRRAL’S EMISSIONS BUDGET AND REACHING ‘NET ZERO’ POLLUTION SOON There is only so much more greenhouse gas…

… recent version of the tool with updated emissions data indicates the need to reach near zero by 2042. 13. Ideally, we need to reduce pollution by more than 13.4% early on. Doing this would help stretch our remaining budget over a longer period. If we do not manage to achieve at least a 13.4% reduction in the first years from 2020 we risk using up our remaining budget sooner so would need…

… below Energy Performance Certificate Band C that can be upgraded are improved to this level or better by around 2030. Using energy as efficiently as possible is a no brainer. We can’t afford to waste energy anymore. We need to get more from the energy we use. We need to use less overall. Cutting energy waste will cut our energy costs and carbon emissions. Cutting energy demand through energy…

… to achieve higher annual savings thereafter. THE STRATEGY SETS WIRRAL ON THE PATH TO ACHIEVE TWO MAIN GOALS: - To stay within a local emissions ‘budget’ of 7.7 million tonnes (Mt) of CO2 between 2020-2100 and to reach ‘net zero’ pollution as early as possible before 2041 (Box 1.1). - To ensure a climate resilient Wirral adapted to cope with existing change and further unavoidable disruption…
