The Low-Carbon Transition Strategy will establish the actions necessary to achieve the net-zero carbon target set out in the Climate Change Emergency Declaration by the proposed date of 2030. The plan will address de-carbonizing every aspect of Town-wide green house gas (GHG) emissions, including homes, transportation, industry, agriculture and waste.
In order to achieve the rapid transition to a low-carbon community, the Town will need a Low-Carbon Transition Strategy that lays out a clear implementation plan and is developed collaboratively with representation from across the Halton Hills community.
GHG Inventory and Energy Mapping
Energy use and emissions data is currently being gathered from across the Town in order to develop a detailed baseline energy and emissions map of the community.
Business-as-Planned (BAP) Projections
Energy and emissions will be projected for the Town through 2030 in a business-as-planned scenario.
Scenario Development
A long list of low-carbon actions will be considered for modeling and inclusion in the strategy. Public consultation will assist in identifying priority actions.
Modeling the Future
After technical review and public engagement, a refined list of low-carbon actions will be developed for future scenario modelling.
Developing the Strategy
A final scenario and its associated actions will be developed into a draft strategy. Public engagement on the draft strategy will occur.
Process and Strategy Governance
A detailed implementation strategy will be developed which will outline a governance framework for the strategy.
The Town needs your input to help shape the Halton Hills Low-Carbon Transition Strategy.
