Description
As a member of Partners for Climate Protection (PCP) since 2002, the City of Québec has conducted a limited annual inventory (Milestone 1) of its corporate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In 2004, the City developed a corporate reduction plan (Milestones 2 and 3) and has since implemented a number of the recommended reduction measures. In this study, the City will expand the scope of its existing corporate inventory and plan and update Milestones 1, 2 and 3 by adding and incorporating a community inventory and strategy. The objective is to meet Kyoto Accord targets by reducing GHG emissions to 6 percent below 1990 levels. The reduction strategy will recommend measures to reduce corporate emissions and how best to work with citizens, organizations and businesses to reduce community emissions.
