Futureproof

Very pleased to see @theCCCuk’s advice on the 6th UK carbon budget includes @Futureproof’s longstanding recommendation to reform the carbon accounting rules & set budgets in line with the cost-effective path to 2050 for UK domestic emissions (see p.417 theccc.org.uk/wp-content/upl…).

We assume a default reduction in the #EUETS cap of 1.7 billion over 2021-2030 if UK leaves under #Brexit Here's why: tinyurl.com/hitmovingtarget

While #Brexit could set back EU climate target, UK & EU might deliver more emission reductions apart than together tinyurl.com/hitmovingtarget

The EU’s climate target is a moving target. Changes to the inventory for 1990 baseline means -40% target today is different from yesterday.

@Futureproof recommends introducing a triple-lock to ensure policy instruments line up with the EU's climate target tinyurl.com/hitmovingtarget

Brexit could leave EU carbon budgets 39.5% below 1990 levels in 2030, shy of EU target to cut GHG emissions by >40% tinyurl.com/hitmovingtarget

Exempting international flights from #EUETS after 2020 adds >200million allowances to carbon budgets dragging them off course from 2030 goal

New @Futureproof report finds EU carbon budgets are misaligned with 2030 target to cut GHGs by 40% #EUETS #EUESR tinyurl.com/hitmovingtarget

Mind the gap: huge difference bw bridging policy gap to meet the CCC's cost-effective trajectory & bridging gap to meet 5th carbon budget.

Great to see @theCCCuk advice on the Scottish Climate Bill echo main @Futureproof recommendations: theccc.org.uk/publication/ad…
