Criteria

Criteria met if the combined authority has commissioned, written and published a study of different decarbonisation pathways and scenarios to reach net zero carbon across the region by the local area-wide target.

Clarifications

Decarbonisation pathways are modelled projected scenarios of policy, technology & behaviour change over time to reach net zero carbon emissions. They are a science-based approach to climate policymaking. The CCC's Sixth Carbon Budget report includes a national example. These pathways are most effective when a specific pathway is chosen and implemented.
