Description
As a member of the Partners for Climate Protection (PCP) program, the City of Winnipeg is developing an integrated community-wide strategy to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to complete the first three milestones of the PCP Milestone Framework. March 2015 marked the completion of Winnipeg’s Community Greenhouse Gas Inventory and Forecast Report. This report provides the basis for a public consultation on the development of a Community Climate Change Action Plan. This project dovetails with the city’s existing corporate climate change action plan, and follows an approach endorsed by City Council in 2009. It also complements federal and provincial commitments to curb GHG emissions. (As per February 10, 2016 announcement)
