Metro Vancouver has committed to reduce the emissions from its own operations and activities, as outlined in the Clean Air Plan and Climate 2050. Metro Vancouver has been reporting its annual corporate greenhouse gas emissions since 2007 as a signatory to the provincial Climate Action Charter.
Metro Vancouver has a Corporate Energy Management Program aimed at reducing its operational carbon footprint through energy efficiency improvements, energy recovery initiatives, and transitioning to lower-carbon energy sources. Metro Vancouver is advancing a number of initiatives to reduce its corporate carbon footprint and provide renewable energy to the region. Metro Vancouver also implements a portfolio of non-energy related projects that have emissions reductions benefits, including avoided forest conversion, ecological area restoration, landfill gas capture, and solid waste reduction projects. These are listed on the Local Carbon Registry.
