…, Belfast would use up this budget in just over a decade at some point during the winter of 2030. However, Belfast could stay within its carbon budget by reducing its emissions by c.8.4% year on year. This would mean that to transition from the current position where emissions are 42% lower than 2000 levels to a local pathway that is consistent with the world giving itself a 66% chance of avoiding…
… dangerous, runaway climate change, Belfast should adopt the following carbon reduction targets (on 2000 levels): 66% by 2025 80% by 2030 88% by 2035 93% by 2040 97% by 2045 100% by 2050 Such a trajectory would mean that the majority of all carbon cuts needed for Belfast to transition to a 1.5ºC consistent pathway need to be delivered by 2030.
