Including 13 closely related terms such as potential emissions, emissions levels, and emissions reduction.
… 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…
… and technically viable measures, Belfast still has to identify other more innovative interventions that could deliver the last 41% of shortfall between projected emissions in 2050 and a net-zero target. • Options identified elsewhere that could be considered in Belfast include promoting the use of low carbon vehicles, electrification of heating and cooking, and planting trees. Carbon emissions could…
… emissions is key to tracking progress over time. We use local authority emissions data to chart changes in emissions from 2005 to 2018. We also break this down to show the share of emissions that can be attributed to households, public and commercial buildings, transport and industry. We then project current emissions levels for the period through to 2050. To do this, we assume on-going…
… 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. (c). Setting Science-Based Carbon Reduction Targets…
…, and they may also generate significant indirect benefits, but whilst we can predict their carbon saving potential, data on their costs and benefits is not yet available. (f). Developing Targets and Performance Indicators Linked to the analysis detailed above, we extend our evaluation of potential emissions reductions across Belfast’s economy to substantive, real-life indicators for the levels…
