WHAT’S THE PLAN?

PLAYING OUR FULL PART

In 2016 Manchester committed to 'playing it's full part in limiting the impacts of climate change'. This commitment is set out in the Our Manchester Strategy for 2016-25.

OUR OBJECTIVES AND TARGETS

We have established a set of objectives and targets to define what we mean by 'playing our full part'. Further information is available here.

 MEETING OUR OBJECTIVES AND TARGETS - MANCHESTER CLIMATE CHANGE FRAMEWORK 2020-2025

The Manchester Climate Change Framework 2020-25 is the city's high-level strategy for meeting our objectives and targets. The Framework has been produced by the Manchester Climate Change Agency, on behalf of the Manchester Climate Change Partnership. Further information is available here.

QUANTIFYING OUR OBJECTIVES AND TARGETS - 2022 UPDATE OF THE MANCHESTER CLIMATE CHANGE FRAMEWORK 2020-2025

The original five-year Framework, published in 2020, set a science-based target for the city to reach zero carbon by 2038 and created a carbon budget for the period which reduced at 13% each year, with a first milestone for Manchester to halve its direct, energy related emissions by 2025. The 2022 Update was a response to the city not being on track to stay within its carbon budget by 2025 and aimed to provide more detailed targets for different sectors and different types of energy use in buildings and ground transport to help guide increased action. Working with Anthesis and using their SCATTER tool to model the different pathways of emission reductions needed to achieve a 50% reduction in emissions. Further information is available here.
