In February 2020, Council adopted the declaration of a climate emergency in association with our actions for climate change.
Our aim is to show purpose and leadership on sustainability and environmental issues.
While Council has been working for some time to reduce its own emissions and support the community to live more sustainably, it’s time to accelerate our emissions reductions, ramp up the ways we support our community and prepare for changes to our city and community.
Council created a Sustainability Action Plan in 2021, community-driven Sustainability Advisory Committee to continue to develop and evolve this plan.
In addition, Council has committed to a Renewable Energy Target (RET) of 100% by 2030.
