s1_gov_q2 data breakdown

The Plan contains yearly or interim targets for carbon reduction in the whole district up until the net-zero target date.

The Plan states a net-zero target for the whole district

The council has a target of reaching net-zero for their own emissions by 2030.

The terms, scope and fairness are defined:

3 bullet points = 1 point
4 or more bullet points = 2 points

• The terms of net-zero are defined clearly
• The scope of the net-zero target is considered e.g. what gases are included
• An annual reduction percentage is calculated which ensures the council stays within its carbon budget
• The Plan sets out a statement of long term intent in which it details how it plans to go carbon negative after reaching net-zero
• The fairness of the targets is considered e.g. recognising that some areas have a greater responsibility to carbon reduction than others due to economic factors, historic emissions data etc.
