Tool for setting emissions targets

The tool for setting emissions targets can be used by CNGP participants to test and demonstrate that their organisation's gross emissions reduction targets are consistent with a 1.5°C pathway.  This is shown in the output worksheets of the tool. The tool has been updated to align with the recently released target setting guidance.

CNGP participants must set gross emissions reduction targets for the financial years 2024-2025 and 2029-2030.

These will be measured against a base year set by the agency and based on the reduction potential of each organisation.
