New Brighton Climate Action Plan 1 -7 <br />The plan aims to cut down GHG <br />emissions in line with the <br />Intergovernmental Panel on <br />Climate Change (IPCC) <br />recommendations, demonstrating <br />a commitment to a healthier, <br />sustainable future. <br /> <br />Our city-wide goal is refiected in <br />strategies established for <br />individual sectors. Sector goals <br />related to GHG emissions <br />reductions are designed to balance <br />reduction across all sectors and <br />achieve the overall emissions goals <br />set forth for the city. The goals <br />seek to strike a balance between <br />achievability while also <br />stretching for improvement <br />beyond business-as-usual. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />* Carbon Neutrality refers to a <br />community for which, on an <br />annual basis, all GHG emissions <br />resulting from community-wide <br />operations are offset by carbon- <br />free energy production. See <br />Glossary of Terms for additional <br />information on Carbon <br />Neutrality and Net Zero. <br />Albert Lea <br />Reduction in City operations and community-wide <br />emissions of 25% below 2019 levels by 2030 and 80% <br />below by 2040. <br />Burnsville <br />Reduce community-wide GHG emissions 40% below <br />2005 levels by 2030 and 80% below 2005 levels by <br />2050. <br />Duluth 80% reduction in GHG by 2050 from municipal opera- <br />tions compared to 2008 levels. <br />Edina 45% below 2019 levels by 2030 and achieve net zero <br />emissions by 2050. <br />Madison 100% renewable energy and net-zero emissions by <br />2030 . <br />Maplewood <br />Reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 20 percent of <br />the City’s 2015 baseline levels by 2050 (an 80 percent <br />reduction). <br />Minneapolis 100% renewable energy for city operations by 2022 <br />and citywide electricity by 2030. <br />New Brighton Reduce GHG emissions by 42% below 2013 levels by <br />2030, and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. <br />Rochester 100% renewable energy citywide by 2031 across all <br />sectors. <br />St Louis Park 100% renewable electricity citywide by 2030, carbon <br />neutrality by 2040. <br />St Paul Carbon neutral municipal operations by 2030, carbon <br />neutral citywide by 2050. <br />Winona Carbon neutral citywide by 2050. <br />Survey of Peer Community Carbon Reduction Goals <br />Our GHG <br />Reduction Goal <br />To reduce community-wide GHG <br />emissions 42% below 2013 levels by 2030, <br />and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.*
