Climate Change Plan: monitoring reports 2022

The second annual statutory monitoring report against the updated 2018 Climate Change Plan, as per the Climate Change (Emissions Reduction Targets) (Scotland) Act 2019.


Footnotes

1 The CCPu includes updated emission envelopes for the years from 2020 onwards. Given the time period involved in the preparation of national and sectoral emissions statistics (the most up to date data available at this time is for 2019), comparisons with the updated envelopes are not yet possible. Until such a time as this can happen, the data for this aspect of these monitoring reports will be based on the envelopes published in the 2018 Plan .

14 Reduce all food waste arising in Scotland on a per capita basis by 33% by 2025, based on 2013 baseline;

15 By 2025 reduce total waste arising in Scotland by 15% against 2011 levels;

16 Carbon sequestration baseline March 2020

17 Area of peatland restored is a proxy measure which doesn’t directly represent the reduction in emissions, an emissions reduction indicator may be adopted in the future. Also, the current per annum area restoration target figure is under review and may be increased, updates will be reflected in future annual reporting.

18 The CCPu includes updated emission envelopes for the years from 2020 onwards. Given the time period involved in the preparation of national and sectoral emissions statistics (the most up to date data available at this time is for 2019), comparisons with the updated envelopes are not yet possible. Until such a time as this can happen, comparisons will be made based on the 2018 Plan envelopes.

19 If the published GHG statistics for 2019 are adjusted to include known future inventory revisions around reporting for wetlands and changes to global warming potentials of some GHGs then this figure would become an estimated 7.7 MtCO2e
