Over the next decade, Portland must cut our community-wide carbon emissions in half – this will require leadership.
For comparison, over the last nearly 30 years, Portland has been addressing climate change and we’ve only managed to drop emissions by 19% (the green area shown in this chart). This is still a significant achievement when you consider our population grew during this time by 39% and our economy grew by 36% more jobs (indicated by the blue lines in the chart).
But those reductions aren’t nearly enough and we are not on track with our current plans. We need to more than triple our rate of carbon cuts.
Together with Multnomah County, we recently released a progress report on the implementation of the 2015 Climate Action Plan – which is posted on BPS’s website. That document contains a snapshot of the status of the nearly 250 climate actions contained in the 2015 plan. It shows that we've made progress in many areas, and not enough in others.
