This year:

We launched the TransformWR Progress Dashboard which helps to digitize and
modernize our reporting. Now that we have 78 actions in TransformWR and many more stakeholders, the dashboard allows us to be more nimble in sharing key progress indicators, resources and stories of action.

Community greenhouse Gas Re-inventory Report.

In 2023, ClimateActionWR published our community’s most recent community greenhouse gas re-inventory report. What has been made evident by our community’s emissions from 2019 to 2020?

Without the drastic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic we would not have been likely to achieve our first community greenhouse gas emission target of 6%

As a community, our implementation plans require an intersectional approach to ensure we are building resilience, equity and prosperity for our low-carbon future

We have a short window to take action to meet our 2030 target of a 50% emissions reduction (below 2010 levels)
