Info

By combining our positive and negative emissions, as shown in Figure 5, we arrive at a grand total, as reported by BEIS of 709.1 ktCO 2 emitted in 2018. This is the figure by which we need to reduce our emissions in order to become a net-zero, or carbon neutral, county. Our target by which to achieve this is 2030. Reaching net-zero emissions will require a significant reduction of our positive emissions whilst also protecting and enhancing our negative emissions. This Action Plan sets out the key projects we will be progressing in the next two years which will start that process. The plan also sets out the potential impact of scaling up these projects and the resulting route to net-zero.

During the intervening year, there has been acknowledgement of the resource required to deliver this programme and to this end, a Climate Change Team has been created. The Climate Change Team reports to the service director for Climate Change, Business Intelligence and Performance and includes a programme manager, senior climate change and sustainability manager, communications officer and project support officer. This Climate Change Team will continue to work within the governance model outlined in the previous Action Plan as shown in Figure 6. Corporate Governance The progress made delivering the Climate Change Action Plan will be monitored and scrutinised as follows: A summary of progress will be included in the Quarterly Corporate Governance Reporting from quarter 4 2020/21 and each quarter thereafter Scrutiny will be provided through the Corporate Services and Economic Growth Overview and Scrutiny committee The progress made in delivering the Climate Change Action Plan will be measured against key implementation milestones and, where possible, the following performance / benefit indicators: 1. Carbon Dioxide impact 2. Green Jobs created 3. Investment attracted to the County Climate Change Action Plan 2021-23 13
