WQ.80/2019
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT BY DEPUTY R.J. WARD OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 12th FEBRUARY 2019
Question
Will the Minister advise –
- whether Jersey has targets for its CO2 emissions;
- if not, why not;
- if it does, what those targets are and how successful the Island has been at meeting them; and
- what actions, if any, are being taken to lower the Island's CO2 emissions?
Answer
Pathway 2050: An Energy Plan for Jersey, agreed by the States Assembly in May 2014, outlines the detailed policies and suite of actions to reduce Jersey's carbon emissions by 80% on 1990 baseline levels by 2050.
The delivery of the Plan is overseen by the Jersey Energy Partnership. The Partnership has two parts, a Ministerial energy executive, and a multi stakeholder energy forum. The energy executive is responsible for reviewing the plan and the ongoing monitoring of the actions in the plan. The energy executive will develop or commission new policy areas or actions, according to review findings. The energy executive group members are the following Ministers: Minister for the Environment, Minister for Infrastructure, Minister for Social Security, and Minister for Economic Development, Tourism, Sport and Culture.
Jersey reports annually on its carbon emissions[1] and publishes an annual Energy Plan update report on www.gov.je.
