Surrey City Council approves preliminary climate action framework and launch of public engagement!

On Monday, May 10^th, Council approved a Corporate Report with a preliminary climate action framework and a plan for public engagement. From May 13^th to the end of June, the City invites residents, community members and other stakeholders to complete a survey to help shape Surrey’s Climate Change Action Strategy. The strategy will outline the City’s plan to meet bold targets, set by Surrey City Council last year, to reduce carbon pollution – also known as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions - to net zero community wide and absolute zero corporate emissions before 2050. The strategy will focus on the areas estimated to make the biggest impact on greenhouse gas emissions, along with other community benefits, including:

• zero-carbon, resilient neighbourhoods
• safe, zero-carbon transportation
• healthy, zero-carbon buildings
• climate-positive, resilient ecosystems
• bold City leadership
