2021 Community Climate Action Plan

Targets for Reducing Our Emissions Community targets show the urgency of the challenge we are facing and the call to action to reduce our GHG emissions. Penticton’s long-term community target is aligned with the Province of BC’s targets.

Our new community targets are:

40% reduction in emissions below 2007 levels by 2030 100% reduction in emissions below 2007 levels by 2050

These were the targets chosen by workshop participants and confirmed in the public survey.

To meet the 2030 target, Penticton needs to produce at least 89,300 fewer tonnes of greenhouse gasses in 2030 (relative to 2007 levels). The actions in this plan are projected to achieve annual emission reductions of 94,400 tonnes CO2e relative to 2007 (58,800 tonnes CO2e relative to 2030).
