… of greenhouse gas emissions for WLDC for the financial year 2019/20. This inventory, or footprint, provides the council with a ‘baseline’ of emissions for this period. Council Target It is important to note that the emissions included in the council’s footprint measurement are different to those emissions included in the council’s carbon reduction target (see slide 17). It is these emissions included…

Taking into account those emissions sources included under the council’s net zero target, projected Business as Usual (BAU) emissions fall to 1915 tCO2e by 2050. • In addition to a BAU scenario, a project emissions scenario* has also been modelled, taking into account the projected levels of carbon reduction associated with the recommendations…
