BACKGROUND:With the adoption of the 2020 Bozeman Climate Plan , Bozeman established science-based greenhouse gas reduction targets. The goals represent our community's share of greenhouse gas reductions necessary to meet the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement's goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (equivalent to 2.7 Fahrenheit). Bozeman's ambitious goals include: Reduce greenhouse gas emissions 26% below 2008 levels by 2025, Achieve 100% net clean electricity by 2030, and Achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. To track progress and inform future programming, the City of Bozeman committed to completing a community greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) inventory every two years to monitor emissions within the City of Bozeman's boundary. The inventory was completed by the Sustainability Division using the methodology and reporting template outlined in the Global Protocol for Community-Scale Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GPC) standard to provide a complete, transparent, and accurate accounting of Bozeman's emissions. Sustainability Program Analyst, Kesslie Carlson-Ham, will present a summary of the 2024 Community Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory. Members of the Sustainability Board will be invited to ask questions and provide input on strategies to effectively communicate the findings from the report and encourage individual and collection action to reduce GHG emissions.
