116City of Burlington2430USABurlington2016Totalcommunity-wide emissions2007401996202020Reduction Goals Subsequent to the completion of the 2007 GHG emissions inventory, the City established the following emissions reduction targets: Short-term: Reduction of 20% below 2007 levels by 2020 *Equals 1.5% annual reduction until 2020 Long-term: Reduction of 80% below 2007 levels by 2050 *Equals 2% annual reduction between 2020 and 2050 To achieve its 2020 goal, the City would have to reduce the emissions generated by its municipal operations by 4,657 tons of CO2 equivalent, while the community-wide emissions reduction would have to approach 86,485 tons of CO2 equivalent. These are not insignificant numbers, but if the City and community come together in working towards those same goals, we can surely achieve them. Exploration of new technologies, new financial incentives and/or financing schemes, as well as a general willingness and commitment to the implementation of this plan will bring success.(44.4758825°, -73.212072°)(37.09024°, -95.712891°)
