New Reduction Emissions Target Set
At the April 26, 2021 Regular Meeting of Council, Council resolved:
THAT Sooke's emissions reduction target be set as follows: a 50% cut from 2018 GHG emissions levels, by 2030 or 7% per year. This target should be in effect until supplanted by an equivalent or stronger target in the OCP.
Further discussions on how in relation to District programs and policies are underway, continuing both through the Climate Action Committee and the Official Community Plan Advisory Committee. To participate in public meetings, please see the Council Committees page of the District website. Please also stay tuned to this page for further updates.
