This put Bristol's emission reduction target among the most ambitious in the UK and in-line with the -1,5 degree C emission pathway set-out in the Paris Agreement. On 24th June 2019, the UK Government enshrined a new net-zero emissions target for 2050 into UK law. Our target is still to better this and to be carbon neutral as a city by 2030. The data that we have available on a city-scale indicates that we have reduced our emissions by more than 40% from 2005-2018. | |||

This means net zero emissions by 2040 and thereafter net negative emissions. This reflects the national target which is the same but with target year 2045. There is also a climate budget defined for Stockholm. The city's undertaking is for the total accumulated emissions to stay below 19 million tonnes of CO2e between 2020 and 2040.We also have the target of max 1.5 tonnes CO2e per capita by 2023. This is actually a "fixed-level intensity target" but that option does not exist and is difficult to report in this format. | ||||

Emissions Reduction | Mitigation Target setting | 1 | All emissions sources included in city inventory | Manchester does not have a fixed level target we have a carbon budget for our direct CO2 emissions. Manchester's carbon budget was calculated by the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research in June 2018, proposed by Manchester Climate Change Agency in October 2018, and formally adopted by Manchester City Council, on behalf of the city, in November 2018.The adopted carbon budget relates to the total remaining amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) from energy use within the local authority area that Manchester should limit its emissions to in order to meet its goal of making a ‘fair contribution’ to the United Nations Paris Agreement on Climate Change. This carbon budget was set on the basis of a report by Kuriakose et al which used the latest science and the principle of equity within the Paris Agreement to determine a remaining budget for Manchester for the 2018 to 2100 period. The report, as well as providing a quantification of the remaining carbon budget for Manchester, also includes five-yearly interim carbon budget periods and proposes an emissions reduction pathway with an average annual reduction rate. The report is based on an approach to setting local carbon budgets developed as part of the Department of Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) funded SCATTER project in 2017/18. This underlying approach also recommended that the carbon budget is reviewed “on a five-yearly basis to reflect the most up to date science, any changes in global agreements on climate mitigation and progress on the successful deployment at scale of negative emissions technologies.”http://www.manchesterclimate.com/sites/default/files/Appendix%202%20-%20Quantifying%20the%20Implications%20of%20the%20Paris%20Agreement%20to%20Manchester%202018_0.pdfIn late-2019/early-2020 the Agency commissioned the Tyndall Centre to review the city's targets, in relation to:- Direct emissions- Indirect / consumption-based emissions, and- Aviation emissionsThe review and it recommendations was used to inform the development of the objctives and targets in the Manchester Climate Change Framework 2020-25. Copies of the Tyndall Centre's reviews for each scope are available from: http://www.manchesterclimate.com/targets-2020 | Same (city-wide) – covers entire city and nothing else | 2018 | 2073 | 2038 | 623800 | 0.06 | 17 | Yes | Yes - 2 °C | Cities Race to Zero; Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy | Yes, but it exceeds its scale or requirement | The UK Government has committed to bring all greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero by 2050. Manchester has committed to be zero carbon by 2038, at the latest. But noting that the key parameter is staying within a science-based carbon budget, rather than hitting a specific zero carbon end-date alone. | ||
| 18 | Cities 2021 | 11315 | City of Manchester | United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland | Europe | public | 5. Emissions Reduction | Mitigation Target setting | 2 | All emissions sources included in city inventory | The headline target, set in 2009, was to reduce the city’s CO2 emissions by 41% by2020, from 2005 levels. This target equated to Manchester’s fair share of the UK’s legally binding carbon reduction obligations under the Climate Change Act 2008. This equates to a reduction from levels of 3.2 million tonnes per annum (2009) to less than two million; it also equates to a reduction in per capita emissions from 7.3 tonnes to 4.3 tonnes per head. As of 2018 data (the most recent available), we have achieved 92.4% of this target, using current trends it has been projected that we will meet this target however the definitive data will not be available to 2022. | Same (city-wide) – covers entire city and nothing else | 2009 | 2020 | 563200 | 1932.26 | 100 | No | Yes - 1.5 °C | Other, please specify: UK Climate Change Act 2008. | Yes | This target equated to Manchester’s fair share of the UK’s legally binding carbon reduction obligations under the Climate Change Act 2008. | |||

| 21 | Cities 2021 | 13506 | Nottingham City Council | United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland | Europe | public | 5. Emissions Reduction | Mitigation Target setting | 1 | Other, please specify: Scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions from BEIS local authority inventory | The target covers direct (Scope 1) and indirect (Scope 2) energy related to CO2 emissions. It does not cover Scope 3 or imported emissions. This is for several reasons, including: ability to monitor and measure effectively; alignment with the local carbon budget model embedded; and ability to influence and shape sources of emissions directly. | Same (city-wide) – covers entire city and nothing else | 2020 | 2028 | 346000 | 111500 | 0 | Yes | Yes - 1.5 °C | Cities Race to Zero; Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy | Yes, but it exceeds its scale or requirement | Setting a 2028 target not only prioritises that Nottingham stays well below its carbon budget to pursue a 1.5C limit to warming but it also sets the standard for other cities as they consider their own pledges, making Nottingham a leading city in climate action. The 2028 carbon neutral target is defined by the point at which only 5% of Nottingham's carbon budget (7.7MtCO2) is left. Depending on the trajectory taken, this will affect the level of emissions emitted in our target year 2028, and the remaining level of residual emissions to offset at that point. Under an annual reduction of 22.3% per year (2020 to 2028) remaining emissions under this pathway would be 385,000tCO2 cumulatively through to 2100, which is 5% of the carbon budget of 7.7 million tonnes. For the most part, reducing the principal sources of CO2 would significantly lower CO2e, and our Carbon Neutral Action Plan aims to reduce all greenhouse gases and scopes where possible. Progress is reported as 0% as emissions data as this target was only introduced in 2019. CO2 emissions data also has a 2 year lag, and as such, 2019 emissions are the most recent known. Between 2005 and 2019, Nottingham's emissions have decreased by 44.2%. | |||

There will be a short opt-out period if individual residents/businesses do not want to have renewable electricity. By 2030, the amount of carbon released by the entire city should be less than or equal to the amount of carbon sequestered on land within city borders or upon land upon which Park City has easements. No official decision has been made on how Park City will meet its 2030 goal if the amount of carbon released is greater that the city's sequestration potential, but the option of a local carbon offsetting mechanism is being explored.This goal was moved up from 2032 to 2030 in November 2018 to reflect the latest IPCC report and the potential 2030 Olympics in Salt Lake City/Park City.No progress has been reported, because a second city-wide inventory has not been completed since the adoption of this goal.This target is more ambitious that the United States' NDC. | ||||

The projects identified have the potential to reduce SBC’s emissions by a cumulative figure of 1,115 tCO2e per annum by 2025. This equates to a total reduction in emissions of 43% between 2018 and 2025; this reduction can be broken down in to scope 1 & 2 emissions (90% reduction) and scope 3 (35% reduction). The substantial difference in percentage reductions between the scopes comes down to the greater ability for the council to influence its scope 1 & 2 emissions compared to scope 3. The outlined projects do not, however, allow the council to reach ‘neutral’ emissions – there is a gap to target of 1,473 tCO2e. It is likely that to reach the council’s ambition of being carbon neutral they must look to offset this ‘gap to target’. | |||||

We will be able to report on the "percentage of target achieved so far" once 2019/20 full datasets become available in Q4 2021.A report clarifying the boundary selected to monitor progress against the new net zero target, as well as the approach used to track progress towards the target was brought to the Policy & Sustainability Committee in April 2021.

Then in February 2020 it was announced that the target would be brought forward by a decade to 2040. The revised target will be officially endorsed by Council through adoption of a revised Environmental Action Strategy - on public exhibition at the time of compiling this CDP report - which will bring the net zero target forward again to 2035 in response to updated climate science and the climate emergency. By contrast, the NSW State government target is net zero emissions by 2050. The Australian Government target under the Paris Agreement is a paltry 26-28% below 2005 levels by 2030. | |||
