Demonstrating Results — National Measures Report 2009
In 2009, the Partners for Climate Protection program (PCP) gathered and analyzed data on initiatives implemented by municipal governments in Canada to reduce GHG emissions at the corporate and community levels and compiled them in a National Measures Database. The initiatives range from education campaigns to complete building retrofits for energy efficiency and vary from million-dollar projects to low or no-cost solutions.
PCP collected data from 16 communities, while ICLEI — Local Governments for Sustainability also gathered data from various sources on 27 other municipal governments’ activities. The database now includes more than 350 initiatives and the municipalities that contributed represent 38 per cent of the Canadian population.
A summary report on the analysis has just been released and the results are clear: municipalities are significantly reducing GHG emissions in Canada, providing real solutions and leading the fight against climate change.
