Community-Wide GHG Emissions
For the 2022 calendar year, have community-wide GHG emissions been measured for your local government or Nation?
- No, we do not measure and report community-wide emissions data due to lack of staff and technical capacity.
Emissions Targets
Currently, the Province's legislated GHG emission reduction targets are 40% by 2030, 60% by 2040 and 80% by 2050, relative to 2007. Please state your local government or Nation’s target(s).
| 2030 Reduction Target | NA |
| 2040 Reduction Target | NA |
| 2050 Reduction Target | NA |
Net Zero Targets
The Province has also committed to introducing a target of net-zero emissions by 2050. Does your local government or Nation have a net-zero or carbon-neutral emissions target?
Yes: Carbon Neutral
Carbon Neutral refers to a jurisdiction achieving a state of no net carbon dioxide emissions being released into the atmosphere (e.g. Reducing emissions as far as practical and purchasing offsets or other similar mechanisms)
Net-Zero refers to a jurisdiction achieving a balance between greenhouse gas emissions produced and removed from the atmosphere (e.g. planting trees or using carbon capture technologies)
Most Valuable Supporting Indicators
If data was provided by the Province, which three supporting indicators would be most valuable to your local government or Nation to advance climate action?
