NEED A RECAP?
Let’s start off with a brief refresher from Lesson 2.2.
What are mitigation targets?
- Mitigation targets are goals set by the local government for reducing GHG emission sources.
- A single target is set for the whole city/region, and multiple targets may be set across different sectors in the city/region. Here, “target” and “targets” are used interchangeably.
- The targets may be integrated into the long-term and overarching vision that a local government sets for itself, which indicates the direction that the city wishes to follow in its development.
- It is good practice for mitigation targets to align with the vision and targets of the NDC and other relevant national plans and strategies, as well as other local plans and strategies.
Why are targets useful?
- They specify a local contribution to global mitigation and national targets.
- They help to direct and inspire leadership, leveraging political pragmatism.
- They help to identify specific emission sources and incentivise solutions.
