W3Zero Carbon Whitby Framework

Whitby’s allotted portion of the global carbon budget was determined as 62.6 kilotonnes from 2021 to 2045. To remain within this budget, Zero Carbon Whitby embeds short, medium, and long-term targets (below 2019 levels) of: •20 percent GHG emissions reduction by 2025; •40 percent GHG emissions reduction by 2030; and, •100 percent GHG emissions reduction by 2045. To assist with the implementation of actions to achieve emissions reduction, the Zero Carbon Whitby Framework outlines a carbon budget framework for implementing a low carbon decision mechanism across the organization.
