Report to Bristol City Council of analysis of how the city can achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions (scopes 1 and 2) by 2030

This study shows that there is a route for Bristol to achieve net zero in its scopes 1 and 2 carbon emissions by 2030.

Securing this route needs a truly radical and transformative approach to how the city heats its buildings and uses energy, how people and goods get about, and how we reduce and treat our waste. It requires an unprecedented rate and scale of change, applying technologies and techniques and establishing and maintaining levels of public and business engagement which are currently the rare exception rather than the commonplace rule.
