We will have a clearer picture once more data has been gathered and sufficiently analysed. Dorset Council’s TOTAL Carbon footprint for 2019-2020 is estimated at 40,000 to 45,000 tCO2e.

There are various pathways that could be followed. Emissions have been reducing in recent years and are likely to have reduced in 2018, 2019, and 2020. Given our historic per- formance…
