GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS INVENTORY  31

COMMUNITY EMISSIONS FORECAST As shown in Figure 8 , projections indicate that under the BAU scenario, emissions will surpass the 2019 base year levels by 12% by 2030. By 2050, a 32% increase in emissions over the 2019 base year is anticipated, with population growth as the primary driver.

COMMUNITY GHG EMISSIONS UNDER THE BUSINESS-AS-USUAL (BAU) SCENARIO

Under the LA scenario ( Figure 9 ), community GHG emissions will decrease to 60% of the 2019 baseline by 2050. The reductions from the LA scenario by themselves will not meet the net zero goal (as illustrated by the white dotted line in Figure 8). Appendix A, Methodology , provides more information on how these models were calculated.
