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, and is working with a community-driven Sustainability Advisory Committee to continue to develop and evolve this plan.
The six core goals of the plan are:
The 2022 Sustainability Action Plan(PDF, 2MB) was endorsed in October 2021 by Council.
In addition, Council has committed to a Renewable Energy Target (RET) of 100% by 2030.
In March 2025, Council endorsed the Net Zero Implementation Plan(PDF, 3MB). The Environmental Sustainability Policy(PDF, 1MB) was also adopted at this meeting.
