Interim Target for Emissions Reductions by 2030

We want your thoughts, to help us set our Island’s target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, as an interim step to achieving net zero by 2050. 

This consultation is about our interim target and whilst it gives indications as to the combination of actions needed to progress towards net zero, the actual and proposed actions and their precise timing will be determined through other detailed work streams, most critically on future energy generation and security. 

To make sure we hit our net zero by 2050 target and comply with the Climate Change Act, we must by 1^st April 2022 set an interim target showing our intended rate of reduction of the Island’s emissions. 

This interim target will show how ambitious and committed our Island is to transitioning to a low carbon society, which has financial, social, environmental and reputational implications.

This consultation closes on Monday 21 February 2022.
