Climate action plan
An illustrative plan over this inventory’s measured baseline. Each band is one funded measure; the dashed line is the target. Grid decarbonization is shown separately because it happens whether or not the city acts.
This plan closes 72% of the gap to 2050.
Projected 2050 emissions are 71,999 t CO₂e against a target of 30,900 t CO₂e — a shortfall of 41,099 t CO₂e that needs measures this plan does not yet contain.
Business as usual assumes emitting activity grows 0.5% per year and the grid emission factor falls 2.5% per year, applied to the 39% of the baseline that is grid electricity. Grid decarbonization is shown separately from local measures because it happens whether or not the city acts. Illustrative demo assumptions, not a real forecast.
