…). To start with we are targeting an annual emissions reduction of 500 tonnes a year over the initial two Strategy and Action Plan years for 2022/23 and 2023/24. We are reasonably confident that the measures set out in this document should enable us to meet these targets. We recognise that this is the first time the Council has embarked on an ambitious emissions reduction strategy. Our approach…
…. In the event we fall short of annual emission reduction targets, we will identify back-up measures and accelerate other actions where possible. We will also identify lessons learned and new opportunities as we move through time and incorporate these in our proposals for future years. The approach to setting this emissions pathway to Net Zero 2030 is shown at Figure 2. © David Millington Photography…
… find on average over 540 tonnes every year of carbon reductions. If it turns out that Net Zero cannot be fully achieved by 2030 by direct emissions reduction, we will invest in local nature-based solutions such as carbon offset schemes that deliver co-benefitsiii. However, a condition of this approach is that any such investment wherever possible must be in schemes within the district and which…
