… awareness amongst the public and businesses of the impact of carbon dioxide emissions on the climate and resulting changes in behaviour • Increased tree planting and afforestation rates resulting in increased sequestration of carbon If we project the current rate of carbon dioxide emissions reduction through to 2030 Wokingham Borough’s carbon footprint will be approximately 274.6 ktCO2. However…
… in 2017. Our highest emitting areas are transport and the use of gas in the domestic sector. These will be key areas on which we will focus our efforts to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. We will also seek to increase the amount of carbon sequestration in the borough. Figure 5.
