13290959572District of Saanich, BCCanadaNorth America4. City-wide Emissions4.8Please indicate if your city-wide emissions have increased, decreased, or stayed the same since your last emissions inventory, and describe why.3Please explain and quantify changes in emissions1Please explainThe 2018 GHG inventory shows a total of 496,408 tCO2e (tonnes of Carbon Dioxide equivalent) for Saanich compared with 574,835 tCO2e calculated for 2017 and published in the Climate Plan. Transportation emissions declined by approximately 5% and building emissions continued to increase by approximately 8% between 2017 and 2018. Albeit this shows a minimal decrease in emissions overall, caution should be used when comparing the results of these two years given the change to the methodology and data limitations.Better data for transportation, natural gas and fuel oil use, and land-use changes are needed in order to draw more specific conclusions from emissions inventories. For example, transportation is our biggest source of emissions, and also the biggest location of uncertainty in our inventory due to old or incomplete data. Improved data sources are under investigation.Key conclusions that can be drawn from the 2018 GHG inventory include:•We are not on track to meet our community and regional emission reduction targets;•Fossil fuel use in transportation followed by building operations remains the largest source of GHG emissions in our community; •GHG emissions from the building sector continue to rise;•We have made progress in reducing GHG emissions from waste, primarily through widespread adoption of composting through the Greener Garbage curbside composting program as well as landfill methane capture; •Better data for transportation, natural gas, heating oil, and GHG implications of land-use changes is still required to improve the GHG inventories. •Considerable action is needed if we are to meet our community and regional GHG emission reduction targets.

13291159572District of Saanich, BCCanadaNorth America4. City-wide Emissions4.9Does your city have a consumption-based inventory to measure emissions from consumption of goods and services by your residents?2Provide an overview and attach your consumption-based inventory if relevant1Please completeThe ecoCity Footprint Tool was developed by Dr. Jennie Moore at BCIT. It produces an ecological footprint, Consumption-Based Emissions Inventory (CBEI), and a Territorial Emissions Inventory. The CBEI presents the total GHG emissions resulting from production and consumption of goods and services within a region, regardless of where those goods and services are from. This form of inventory is generated using the data typically collected for a territorial inventory, including the energy used by buildings and transportation and the emissions associated with solid waste management; in addition to an evaluation of the emissions that result from the production and transport of all goods consumed within the region, as informed by life cycle assessment data. Total consumption-based emissions for the District of Saanich were 881 kilotonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (ktCO2e) as of 2015.

If your country has an NDC and your city’s target is less ambitious than the NDC, please explain why.1Canada's federal government has stated that it will set a target to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, which matches the adopted Saanich target. British Columbia's provincial government committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 40% below 2007 levels by 2030, 60% by 2040, and 80% by 2050.Saanich is a signatory to the B.C. Climate Action Charter, a voluntary agreement between the B.C. government, Union of B.C. Municipalities and each local government signatory to take action on climate change. Under the Charter, local government signatories commit to becoming carbon neutral in their corporate operations, measuring and reporting their community's greenhouse gas emissions, and creating complete, compact, more energy efficient communities.
