New carbon footprint for Kāpiti District

By

New reports are out giving carbon footprint estimates for the Wellington Region and districts including Kāpiti from 2000-01 to 2018-19.

The headline figures give the change from 2000-01 to 2018-19 for each sector, the percentages beneath gives the size of the top emissions sources in the sector compared to the whole footprint.

Kāpiti Coast District’s gross emissions (excluding forestry) rose by 11% over the period while the Region’s emissions declined by 5%. For Kāpiti, the largest increase over the period in absolute terms was from transport, which more than negated reductions in other sectors. Industrial processes and product use (IPPU) had a huge percentage increase but is still a small contributor overall. The full report can be found here: http://www.gw.govt.nz/research-shows-fall-in-greenhouse-gases-over-two-decades-but-a-worrying-rise-in-transport-emissions/
