…-17_UK_local_and_regional_CO2_emissions_tables.xlsx 13 | P a g e iii) Perth & Kinross Council Emissions Whilst we in the Council acknowledge our responsibilities towards climate change, our emissions are only a small part of the overall emissions profile of Perth & Kinross. The direct carbon emissions from the Council account for less than 3% of the total Perth & Kinross emissions (Figure 12). Figure 12…

…: Comparison of Emissions (Perth & Kinross area compared to Council) The Council reports emissions figures annually as part of the mandatory Public Sector Climate Change Reporting process (see part 11 of this report). The annual combined emissions for waste and energy is shown in figure 13 below. (vehicle fleet emissions data will be also be included in the reporting process for 2018/19…

… Community Planning partners (see part 12 of this report) we aim to share our emissions data, to establish a true picture of our collective impact on emissions, to compare and benchmark results, and look for joint opportunities to reduce emissions. (Action M3 – Appendix 2) e) Shared Vision and Route map Our ambition is to develop a vision which is co-created with our communities and stakeholders…

The key gases vary depending on the sector - for example while the focus in the domestic sector…

That will require much greater use of renewable energy, and infrastructure (to capture and store remaining carbon emissions), and especially changes in our behaviour. Recent analysis by the Committee on Climate Change shows that changing technology alone will be insufficient to reach a net-zero carbon target…
