Vancouver City Council

Vancouver City Council reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 2.29 billion kg CO2e for 2024. For 2023, its Scope 1 emissions were approximately 2.32 billion kg CO2e. In 2022, Vancouver City Council's total carbon emissions were approximately 2.52 billion kg CO2e, comprising approximately 2.35 billion kg CO2e from Scope 1, 61 million kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 110 million kg CO2e from Scope 3. This follows total emissions of approximately 2.59 billion kg CO2e in 2021, and approximately 2.44 billion kg CO2e in 2020.

Vancouver City Council has established several climate commitments. It aims to reduce overall carbon pollution by 50% by 2030, relative to a 2007 baseline, and achieve at least an 80% reduction by 2050. The Council plans for 100% of its energy to come from renewable sources by 2050. Additionally, it targets a 40% reduction in the embodied emissions of new buildings and construction projects by 2030, compared to a 2018 baseline. The City's 2050 target has been updated to be "carbon neutral" instead of "at least 80% below 2007 levels."
