Carbon Budget Milestone	Carbon Budget	Year budget is exhausted at current emissions levels
2030	15,490,727 Tonnes	2025
2050	26,359,408 Tonnes	2029

As determined from the calculations, without emissions reductions the City of Windsor will exhaust the 2030 carbon budget in 2025 and the 2050 carbon budget in 2029.

It should be noted that the emissions reduction targets for carbon budgeting are significantly more aggressive than Wi ndsor’s current community energy plan emissions reduction target. The CEP target, current emissions projection and carbon budget trajectories are displayed in Figure 2 below.

Figure 2 – Carbon Budget timeline compared to emissions reduction trajectory per the Community Energy Plan as well as forecast future emissions.

To be in accordance with IPCC C40 carbon budget the City’s target would need to reduce to 3.2 tonnes by year 2030 or approximately 64% below 2017 levels by 2030.
