Due to data processing timelines, the 2024 emissions inventory report is based on data from 2023. Currently, the City is using this inventory to inform the development of science-based targets aimed at reducing emissions and achieving net-zero goals for both corporate operations and the broader community.
Greenhouse gas emissions in the corporation
There are five main sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from municipal operations and services. The main sources and the percentage of GHG emissions they account for include:
- MiWay transit (61%)
- Municipal buildings (29%)
- Fleet (6%)
- Waste (4%)
In 2023, total GHG emissions for the corporation was 70,556 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent. This equals a 2% increase for corporate emissions above 1990 levels but a 12% decrease since the CCAP was approved in 2019.
