The CRD completes regional and local government greenhouse gas emission inventories every two years. Results for the regional inventory for the 2024 calendar year indicate an 11% decrease in emissions since 2007 and a 1% decrease from 2022. Significant work remains for the capital region to meet its 2038 emissions target. The CRD, through the Climate Action and Adaptation Service and an updated Climate Action Strategy, will continue to work with local governments and the community to advance climate action initiatives towards meeting the ambitious greenhouse gas reduction targets established in the CRD’s Regional Growth Strategy.
