Evaluation and Key Findings
Actions Evaluation Each of the six strategies contains at least one action which was evaluated both quantitatively and qualitatively. The figures below illustrate the total greenhouse gas emissions reduction potential of each of the actions through 2050 and the annual mtCO2e reduced by community benefits tier and cost-effectiveness/revenue potential.
CLIMATE ROADMAP EVALUATION
The following sections showcase how we evaluated the different Climate Roadmap actions, both individually and in 2040 packages, describe the findings1. 2030, ANDand 2050
In addition to measuring annual greenhouse gas emissions reduced relative to 1990 baseline, we measured total greenhouse gas emissions through horizon year 2050 to better understand the compounding effects of taking climate action now as opposed to later.
