… of this commitment, the Councils resolved to develop a science- and evidence-based Carbon Neutral Plan that would identify the key actions and intervention measures required to set the Councils on the path to net zero carbon emissions. This work is intended to provide the Councils with an understanding of their own carbon emissions baseline and identify the steps that need to be taken to achieve…
… renewable energy generation. It is important to note, however, that carbon offsetting is not enough to achieve the net zero target on its own – success relies on maximising demand reduction and renewable electricity generation as a high priority. The detailed recommendations from the study are set out in an action plan which aims to support the Councils in delivering the intervention measures…
