Despite these reductions, Wiltshire Council has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The council's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, indicating that it operates independently in its reporting and climate commitments. Overall, Wiltshire Council's commitment to reducing carbon emissions is evident in its recent performance, although further initiatives and targets would enhance its climate strategy.
