The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report ‘Global Warming of 1.5°C’ (2018) is clear on the causes and effects of climate change
on the world. The report states that the primary driver of long term global warming is carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) and that global temperatures relate
to increased cumulative CO2 emissions from human activity, primarily from energy use. This will result in significant loss of ecosystems and biodiversity
along with increased impacts on human health and the economy. The world is already around 1°C warmer than pre-industrial times and is currently on
track to reach between 3-4°C global temperature increase by 2100 if no action is taken.
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) Paris Agreement (2015), to which the UK is a signatory, aims to:
“Strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change by keeping a global temperature rise this century well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels
and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5°C.”
The UK will deliver on the Paris Agreement by vigorously pursuing a target to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to ‘net zero’ by 2050, ending the UK’s
contribution to global warming within 31 years. This was enshrined in law in June 2019 through amendments to the 2050 GHG emissions reduction target
in the Climate Change Act 2008 from at least 80% to at least 100%, otherwise known as ‘net zero’.

to
tackle
climate change through a common framework.
•
Reducing
the

to
net zero by 2050.
TMS is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050.
TMS is increasingly determined to have a positive effect on the
environment and to avoid any unintended consequences
through its actions. TMS has revised its corporate Environment
Policy to strengthen its environmental commitments to reduce
the TMS impact on climate change.
