Survey #1 - Community Climate Action Plan

The City is working on a new Community Climate Action Plan to protect Penticton’s blue skies. The plan sets targets and recommends actions to reduce Penticton’s contributions to greenhouse gas emissions. As residents and businesses have the biggest role in the success of this plan, your involvement is essential. A draft of the plan has been prepared and now the City wants to hear from you. Please consider the following Penticton Climate Facts and complete the survey below to let us know if the plan is headed in the right direction.

Penticton Climate Facts

• Penticton emits 250,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions (CO2) annually.
• This is an increase of about 22% since our first Community Climate Action Plan in 2011.
• The main sources of our emissions are gasoline vehicles (55%), inefficient buildings (31%) and organic waste (14%).
