On-line Tool for Developing Municipal Greenhouse Gas Reduction Strategies

Many Canadian municipalities have targets for reducing their greenhouse (GHG emissions, but most are struggling to develop and implement strategies for substantially reducing GHGs. This research project develops an on-line, interactive software tool that municipalities can use to develop GHG reduction strategies. This work involve adapting equations and tables from our previously established guidebook (Getting to Carbon Neutral: A Guide for Canadian Municipalities) into a user friendly format, specifically tailored for engineers, planners and environmental strategists working for medium to large Canadian municipalities.
