GHG Emissions Reduction Plan: City Operations
The City of Edmonton is looking for your feedback on its draft City Operations Greenhouse Gas Management Plan.
The draft plan is aimed at achieving a 50% reduction in GHG emissions from City operations by 2020 (from 2008 levels). It contains a number of strategies suggesting how the City of Edmonton will achieve that goal.
We welcome your comments, advice and feedback about the plan.
Extended! E-mail your comments to ghgplan@edmonton.ca by December 15, 2011.
Purpose of the City Operations Greenhouse Gas Management Plan
The GHG Management Plan proposes a strategy for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from City of Edmonton operations. This will contribute to Edmonton’s long-term goal of carbon-neutrality as stated in The Way We Green, Edmonton’s environmental strategic plan.
The GHG Management Plan is one of 31 implementation plans described within the framework of The Way We Green.
The figures contained in this paper (and their underlying assumptions) have been reviewed and verified by an external consultant – Navigant Consulting Inc. That consultant’s report, Review of City of Edmonton Greenhouse Gas Inventory is available on request.
On July 20, 2011, Edmonton City Council approved The Way We Green plan which included: (a) a goal for Edmonton to become “a carbon-neutral city” and (b) Strategic Action 6.10.1 directing the Administration to establish, implement and maintain “a City Operations Greenhouse Gas Management Plan aimed at significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions from City operations.”
This draft plan and the feedback it generates will be used to develop the final recommended Corporate Operations’ Greenhouse Gas Management Plan.
