Becoming Carbon Neutral Workshops and Webinars

To assist local governments in learning how to measure their corporate emissions using SMARTTool  (or an equivalent measurement tool) and how to become carbon neutral in their corporate operations, the GCC held a series of free workshops and webinars throughout the Province in June. 

As part of these workshops and webinars, the GCC sought local government feedback on the draft “Becoming Carbon Neutral” Guide, including exploring ideas on how the approach could be further refined to ensure adequate flexibility and choice for all Climate Action Charter signatories.

The GCC would like to commend local governments for their leadership and action on climate change to date.  As more and more B.C. local governments adopt greener policies and practices, move toward carbon neutrality, and take steps to reduce community-wide greenhouse gas emissions, all British Columbians benefit from cleaner, healthier and more liveable, sustainable communities.
