Further tens of millions of pounds are to be pumped into efforts to drastically reduce the Church of England\u2019s carbon emissions over the next six years, the first impact report on its net-zero programme says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The report summarises progress on the General Synod\u2019s ambition to achieve net zero by 2030, which was set in 2020 (News, 12 February 2020<\/a>). The Synod approved a \u201croute map\u201d to this goal two years later (News, 15 July 2022<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n In real terms, the target is to decrease the Church\u2019s emissions \u2014 mainly from its buildings \u2014 by 90 per cent against the current baseline: 415,000 tonnes of carbon-dioxide equivalent (415,000T CO2e). The remaining ten per cent is to be offset by carbon-cancelling schemes, such as tree-planting and installing solar panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read it all<\/a>.<\/p> Further tens of millions of pounds are to be pumped into efforts to drastically reduce the Church of England\u2019s carbon emissions over the next six years, the first impact report on its net-zero programme says https:\/\/t.co\/GlXOa0tBpM<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/NAkFHUtMIL<\/a><\/p>— Church Times (@ChurchTimes) September 19, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote>
