Decarbonisation and climate change mitigation
Many organisations have emissions targets. Fewer have a credible, costed and technically robust pathway to achieve them.
Tonkin + Taylor helps clients measure emissions, identify effective emissions-reduction opportunities, and develop practical plans that are operationally, financially, and technically feasible.
Where a broader strategic plan is needed, we link this work to transition planning. This helps organisations remain credible, resilient and competitive as the economy changes.
We help councils develop the greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories, emissions-reduction targets, and plans needed to support applications for LGFA
Climate Action Loans and to maintain eligibility for preferential borrowing rates. Our support includes reviewing existing inventories, addressing data gaps, preparing annual reports and coordinating independent assurance.
We also build council capability, helping teams manage emissions measurement and reporting over time.
