Jersey aims to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases in 2050 by 80% compared to 1990 levels.

To achieve this goal, and to minimise the impacts of climate change, Jersey has set out mitigation and adaptation actions.

In addition to these actions addressing climate change, they can also have wider impacts on other sectors such as health and the economy, and these impacts can be positive and negative. Analysis of these wider impacts to identify potential synergies and conflicts will lead to more joined up and effective policy making.

This report, commissioned by the Department of the Environment, examines the wider impacts of Jersey climate change actions in the context of the Future Jersey outcomes. Future Jersey is the basis for the long-term, shared vision for Jersey and includes community, environmental and economic outcomes. These outcomes were identified through public consultation to explore what people felt were priorities for Jersey in the future.
