CORPORATE APPROACH TO MEETING IPCC CLIMATE CHANGE TARGETS

Dominant Trends:

Electrification
Supportive charging infrastructure
New technologies that reduce idle time, or km-traveled
Transportation demand management initiatives that

support low-emission commuting and work travel Limitations:

Electric is not yet a viable
ption for all vehicle types
Capital costs

SLIDE 7

CORPORATE APPROACH TO MEETING IPCC CLIMATE CHANGE TARGETS

Continue to be an early adopter of electric vehicle tech
Establish a long-range plan for supportive charging
Formalize green fleet purchasing procedures
Continue to pursue right-sizing and renewable fuel

sources for heavy duty vehicles

Use a data-focused approach to maximize GHG

emission reduction opportunities

Consider adjusting fleet asset replacement cycle to

expedite transition to electric

Recommended Approach

Municipal Buildings

CORPORATE APPROACH TO MEETING IPCC CLIMATE CHANGE TARGETS

Energy audits
Energy optimization programs
Alternative energy sources – solar heating,

photovoltaics, micro-hydro, geo-exchange

Heat exchange – Ice Arena to Aquatic Centre
Building automation – heating, cooling, lighting
Building envelope – wall and roof insulation, glazing
Lighting retrofits - LED
Water efficient plumbing fixtures
Education (paradigm shift)

Best Practices for GHG Reduction

SLIDE 10

CORPORATE APPROACH TO MEETING IPCC CLIMATE CHANGE TARGETS

Recommended Approach

Continue replacing building equipment with more

energy efficient systems

Fuel switching where practical to lower GHG

emitting fuel sources

Paradigm shift – Financial Perspective vs Social and

Environmental Perspective

Develop a Green Building Policy

Establish a Funding Source

SLIDE 12

CORPORATE APPROACH TO MEETING IPCC CLIMATE CHANGE TARGETS

Best Practices:

Establish a Climate Action Reserve Fund
Use Provincial CARIP Carbon Tax rebate as seed

Recommendation:

Establish a Climate Action Reserve Fund
Recognize CARIP rebate is not sufficient
Consider an environmental levy collected through

property tax, or potentially fund initiatives through CACs as appropriate

‘Climate Action Reserve Fund’
