This was a fun project to be involved with, #jersey leading the way developing a pathway to Net Zero
🇯🇪 More #Jersey good news! Building upon our island-wide tree survey last year, we have completed our #carbon #netzero project with Impact Jersey's Challenger Programme - funded by the Government of Jersey's Digital Jersey grant. The output is helping Jersey understand it's #climatechange challenge. We have mapped and measured the island's #naturalcapital, calculated it's current carbon storage, and identified opportunities for further carbon #sequestration and #naturerecovery through changes in land management e.g. #habitat creation and #regenerativeagriculture. Jersey has set itself a target to reach Net Zero by 2050, and our project has delivered the first comprehensive carbon storage baseline of the island. This is being used to balance against the island's total emissions, thereby providing a robust analysis of Jersey's current Net Zero position - essential for developing an evidence-led strategy and roadmap, and for measuring real change following future updates. All of this analysis is presented as a 'living map', and reported and shared online using Esri UK #ArcGIS interactive story maps and dashboards - a selection of which are shown below.
