… our direct control. Through PCC’s statutory powers and responsibilities, we also manage important levers to reduce emissions with city-wide policies, standards, and enforcement powers. Outside of these powers, PCC’s ability to influence carbon reduction are much more limited and are reliant on meaningful community engagement, partnerships and collaboration with businesses, residents…
… needs to demonstrate fairness in addressing health inequalities relating to travel, since lower income households are often exposed to greater transport-related emissions. Mitigation Adaptation Reduce carbon emissions through: } Enabling walking and cycling (active transport) infrastructure. } Enabling shared transport modes (eg car clubs, bike and scooter hire). } Enabling affordable…
… prepared. Net zero Carbon reduction terminology has subtle differences. PCC use a net zero carbon target, meaning all emissions will be reduced to the lowest amount and then balanced to “zero” with removals. Removals from the air can be through more natural storage in soils and vegetation, offset schemes or technological solutions. PCC’s approach to reaching net zero carbon is detailed…
… reducing the use of higher carbon energy sources, reducing energy and fuel poverty, and improving indoor and outdoor air quality. Mitigation Adaptation Support and encourage carbon emission reductions through: } Promoting increased domestic and commercial energy efficiency and usage reduction. } Promoting decarbonisation of our utility services. } Promoting lower carbon fuel and onsite…
… expects development proposals to incorporate “clean growth” principles to protect and enhance the natural environment and mitigate and adapt to the effects of climate change. Mitigation Adaptation Support and encourage carbon emission reductions through: } Promoting increased commercial energy efficiency and usage reduction. } Promoting lower carbon fuel and onsite renewable energy sources…
