International agreements to cut emissions
Jersey is a signatory, through the UK, to the Paris Agreement and the International Convention on Climate Change. Jersey agreed to an ambitious emissions reduction trajectory. This means reducing emissions by 68% by 2030, 78% by 2035 and reaching net zero emissions by 2050. This is measured against a 1990 baseline.
