The city has two climate change targets for 2050: Net Zero Carbon (for the entire community) and 100% Renewable Energy (for the corporation of the City of Guelph). Last September it released its first Sustainability Report on how we’re fighting climate change. Unfortunately, it showed that our greenhouse gas emissions went up between 2018 and 2019. Not a good start, to say the least.
This approach to targets leaves little or no accountability for current decision makers. And technically, nothing needs to be done until 2049. We could also just buy carbon offsets instead of cutting greenhouse pollution. All of this leaves the door wide open to prolonged fossil fuel use.
Will we be able to meet our climate change targets? At this Breezy Breakfast, recorded April 15, 2021, Evan Ferrari from eMERGE Guelph joined us to discuss.
