Overview

Carbon modelling results for 2041 and 2026

(Accelerated scenario)

Key Points:

  • Modelling shows implementing all goals gives a 94% reduction by 2041 – net zero is realistic.
  • The ‘accelerated’ scenario results in a 33% reduction to 8.1 MtCO2 per year by 2026 (against a 2016 baseline).
  • Carbon modelling shows that there is a gap between what is technically possible and socially tolerable and the Tyndall target of 4.9MtCO2 per year by 2026.
