Vancouver City Council

Vancouver City Council reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 2.29 billion kg CO2e in 2024. This follows Scope 1 emissions of approximately 2.32 billion kg CO2e in 2023. In 2022, Vancouver City Council's total reported emissions were approximately 2.52 billion kg CO2e, comprising approximately 2.35 billion kg CO2e for Scope 1, 61 million kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 110 million kg CO2e for Scope 3.

The Council has set ambitious climate commitments, including a long-term target to reduce all Scope GHG emissions by at least 80% below 2007 levels by 2050. Furthermore, they aim for a 50% reduction in carbon pollution by 2030 relative to 2007 levels, which is equivalent to a 49% reduction below 2010 levels. In the near term, Vancouver City Council is committed to reducing embodied emissions in new buildings and construction projects by 40% compared to a 2018 baseline by 2030. They also aim for 100% of their energy to come from renewable sources by 2050, with an interim target of 55% by 2030.
