Resolutions, Ordinances, or Other Climate Legislation

This assessment is based on 2 pieces of legislation. The City of Duncan has established a Climate Action Charter and declared a climate emergency, using both a commitment framework and a formal declaration to guide its sustainability efforts. The legislation focuses on reducing greenhouse gas emissions through building efficiency, transportation improvements, renewable energy, urban forestry, waste management, and local food production. Duncan has set specific targets including carbon-neutral municipal operations (achieved since 2012), a 20% emissions reduction by 2017, and community-wide reductions of 33% by 2020 and 80% by 2050. The city also addresses climate vulnerabilities such as extreme weather, wildfires, drought, and water supply threats while viewing climate action as an opportunity for job creation and cost savings. The 2019 climate emergency declaration prompted the city to evaluate past actions and develop additional short, medium, and long-term strategies to further reduce emissions.
