Greenest City is a bold initiative to address Vancouver’s environmental challenges. While we live in what is widely recognized as one of the most liveable cities in the world, our environmental footprint is currently three times larger than the Earth can sustain.
Greenest City is a bold initiative to address Vancouver’s environmental challenges. While we live in what is widely recognized as one of the most liveable cities in the world, our environmental footprint is currently three times larger than the Earth can sustain.
The decisions we make every day about how we move around the city, what we buy, and how we deal with our waste means that we currently use far more than our share of the Earth’s resources.
Our city has what it takes to successfully get 100% of our energy from renewable sources before 2050.
We already have the lowest greenhouse gas emissions per person of any major North American city.
We are economically strong and diverse.
We are a city that innovates and already has abundant clean electricity.
